Reiki Certification and Yoga Retreat on Nicaragua's Pacific Coast

The retreat is led by Alison, a Usui Reiki Master with 19 years of teaching experience, and her daughter Pearl, a yoga instructor and registered nurse. They combine their skills to offer a week that's both educational and restorative. You'll leave with your Reiki I and II certifications, having practiced on yourself and others throughout the week. The yoga is Hatha, Vinyasa, and Restorative, and is woven with Reiki principles.

Costa Dulce is an eco-lodge built by hand on a jungle hillside above Playa Escameca Grande. The property has eleven bungalows, two yoga shalas, a wellness center, and a restaurant. There's a turtle sanctuary on the beach, and the whole place runs on sustainable principles. The food is a standout – local, seasonal, and mostly organic, with plenty of options for different diets.

The itinerary is structured around the Reiki curriculum. For the first three days, you'll cover Level I material, with yoga, meditation, and activities like a surf lesson and horseback riding. The middle day is free for rest and exploration. The final three days focus on Level II, with more advanced techniques, a jungle hike, a temazcal ceremony, and a beach bonfire. Evenings often end with sunset yoga and meditation.

This retreat is small, with a maximum of 12 participants, ensuring personalized attention. It's open to all ages and fitness levels – you don't need any previous yoga or Reiki experience. The setting is peaceful and nature-focused, with the opportunity to surf, paddleboard, or just relax in a hammock. It's a chance to learn a new skill, deepen a practice, and unwind in one of Central America's most beautiful coastal areas.
