7 Day Personalized Ayurveda & Yoga Healing Retreat in Costa Rica

The retreat is rooted in Pancha Karma principles and the sister sciences of yoga and Ayurveda. After an initial Ayurvedic exam to identify your dosha, you'll receive five holistic treatments over the week, chosen to address your specific imbalances. Daily yoga classes—four private or semi-private sessions—can be gentle, restorative, vinyasa, or power style, depending on what your body needs. You'll also get a guided meditation or singing bowl session, and access to a Yin and Yang cold plunge and steam sauna. The idea is to give you the tools to continue your healing long after you leave, not just a week of feeling good.

What makes this different from a typical group retreat is the complete personalization. You choose your own dates, and the schedule is flexible. Some days you might stack yoga, treatments, and workshops for a deep dive; others you can leave open for self-reflection or exploring. The hosts, Matea and Acyuta, bring serious credentials—Matea is an E-RYT 500 with 200-hour certifications in Vinyasa and Anusara yoga, a 300-hour Hatha and Ayurveda certification from Rishikesh, and training in Tibetan singing bowl sound healing, among other things. Acyuta has taught yoga for 15 years and is deep into Jyotish Vedic astrology.

The location is a real highlight. The Guanacaste region is known for its dry, sunny weather, pristine beaches, and jungle hills. The retreat center is just two miles from Tamarindo, a lively surf town with restaurants, shopping, and nightlife, but far enough that you get quiet and calm. You can walk to the beach, hike in the jungle, or just stay by the pool. Costa Rica is also a great backdrop for Ayurveda—the country's rich in tropical fruits and medicinal plants that mirror what you'd find in India, the birthplace of Ayurveda.

Guests here tend to be solo travelers looking to reset, though partners and small groups are welcome. The food is a central part of the experience: plant-based, often organic, and tailored to your dosha. You'll get two meals a day (breakfast and lunch) on full days, with plenty of time to explore local restaurants for dinner if you want. The emphasis is on helping you feel better—guests have reported losing brain fog and gaining energy after a week of the food and treatments.
