Private Yoga, Barre & Pilates Wellness Retreat on Costa Rica's Caribbean Coast

The retreat is built around daily private sessions—yoga (Vinyasa, Hatha, Power), pranayama, meditation, Pilates, barre, and stretch & sculpt. You'll have one or two classes per day, depending on your energy and the day's excursions. Emmanuelle, a professional ballerina and certified yoga instructor, leads everything, adapting each session to your level and goals. The setting is a private yoga shala in the garden of Casa Pura, where monkeys, sloths, toucans, and blue morpho butterflies are regular visitors.

Beyond the mat, the retreat includes guided nature hikes and visits to two national parks—Cahuita and Manzanillo—with a private guide. You'll explore jungle trails, snorkel, and see wildlife in its natural habitat. A 60-minute 'Rainforest Immersion Massage' at Pure Jungle SPA is also included, and you can add extras like a 2-hour splits workshop, private surf lessons, or a waterfall tour.

What makes this retreat different is the complete personalization. Your schedule is built around you, and you can choose to rest as much as you move. The host lives nearby and remains available throughout, offering pre- and post-retreat support, including optional online sessions after you leave. The retreat is available year-round, and guests often come solo, drawn by the safety of the area and the homely feel of the property.

The accommodation is Casa Pura, a beach house on Punta Uva Beach, known as one of the most beautiful beaches in Puerto Viejo. It's a Caribbean loft with a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable queen bed, lounge area, office space, terrace, and an outdoor shower. The adjacent yoga shala sits in the garden, facing the jungle. You can hear the waves from bed, and the property has high-speed fiber-optic Wi-Fi, so you're connected even in this tropical setting.
