Wellness Yoga Retreat in the Costa Rican Jungle with Ocean Views

The Sense & Presence retreat is a seven-day, six-night stay at Finca Exotica, a family-run eco-lodge a short walk from Carate Beach. Each day follows a steady rhythm: a morning practice to wake the body, a long open stretch of time for rest or adventure, and an evening restorative session to integrate. The practices are grounded in vinyasa and hatha yoga, with pranayama (breathwork) woven in, and there are also workshops and group activities that shift depending on the group. Adriana, who co-founded Sense & Presence with Krystsina, draws on her background in dance and her Ashtanga Vinyasa training; her sequencing is intuitive and emotionally attuned, and she's known for creating a safe space to work through things. Krystsina brings her own complementary approach, and together they balance structure and sensitivity. The retreat explicitly avoids promising shortcuts—the work is in showing up to the practices, being in nature, and reflecting through journaling and conversation. What makes it different from a typical yoga retreat is the intimacy: with only five to eight participants, you're not lost in a crowd, and the facilitators can adapt to where you are. The location—remote, lush, and right on the Pacific—adds a sense of adventure and a constant reminder to be present. People come from all over the world, and the shared experience of being in such a wild place often forges quick, genuine connections.
