7-Day Women's Yoga & Vitality Retreat in Costa Rica

Mornings start with an uplifting yoga flow paired with grounding meditation, so you begin the day centred rather than rushed. Evenings are gentler: yin yoga sessions with crystal bowl sound healing, which close the day and help you settle. This daily rhythm — strong in the morning, soft at night — is the backbone of the week.

Between practice sessions there are empowering workshops that guide you through letting go of what no longer serves you and reconnecting with your authentic self. These are run as group gatherings and create a supportive space for reflection. The program carries 10 YACEP education credits, which makes it useful for registered yoga teachers who need continuing education hours.

Meals are prepared through the week with nutrient-dense ingredients chosen to support hormonal balance and overall vitality. The food is designed to complement the retreat's focus on helping your body function at its best, and dietary needs are catered for — you tell the team yours and they confirm.

What makes this one different from a generic yoga week is the focus on women and ageing. It is aimed at women who feel depleted by daily demands or by the natural ageing process and want to rediscover their energy and confidence. It is not a bootcamp and it is not a silent meditation sit — it is a week of daily practice, workshops and good food in a coastal setting.

Montezuma itself is laid-back, on the southern Nicoya Peninsula. There are waterfalls, wildlife and ocean views within easy reach, and the village is small enough to walk around. Full directions and travel guidance are shared once your booking is confirmed.

The retreat leader is Devaya Yoga, based in Costa Rica, who runs this retreat and at least one other in the country. Participants also receive resources to keep the momentum going after they return home.
