5 Day Silent Mindfulness Meditation & Yoga Retreat in Jaco, Costa Rica

The retreat takes place at Villa Alma Dulce, a serene hideaway near Jaco that blends modern comfort with the raw beauty of nature. You'll wake to the sounds of exotic birds and the rustle of jungle leaves, with the golden beaches of Jaco just a stone's throw away. The retreat center boasts a yoga shala, a pool, and comfortable rooms with A/C, free Wi-Fi, and a kitchen and laundry for your convenience. This is not a luxury resort but a peaceful sanctuary where the focus is on your inner journey, supported by the natural surroundings and the gentle amenities that make your stay comfortable.

What sets this retreat apart is its unique integration of energy-balancing practices. Under the guidance of Marta, a seasoned yoga teacher and Reiki master, you will explore Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) tapping, a method that combines acupressure with cognitive processing to address unresolved emotions. Sound therapy with Tibetan bowls offers a deeply relaxing experience, as the resonant tones are believed to synchronize brainwaves and facilitate meditation. Reiki energy healing, a Japanese technique, involves the practitioner channeling life force energy through their hands to promote relaxation and support the body's natural healing. These practices are woven into the daily schedule alongside yoga and meditation, offering a holistic approach to wellness that goes beyond the physical.

Marta, the visionary behind Om & Flow Yoga, brings over eight years of teaching experience to the retreat. She is Yoga Alliance-certified as an E-RYT500 and is also a certified Yoga Nidra facilitator, Reiki master, and sound therapist. Having cultivated her craft in Estonia, Japan, Thailand, and Colombia over a decade of travel, she brings a worldly perspective and a nurturing approach to her teaching. Her husband, Javier, is an excellent cook who provides hot vegetarian meals throughout the retreat, adding a personal and caring touch to the experience.

The retreat is ideal for those who want to step away from the hustle and bustle and drop out of 'normal life' for a few days. Whether you are a solo traveler seeking self-discovery, a couple wanting to share a silent journey, or someone simply needing to reset, this retreat offers a safe and structured space to explore your inner landscape. The daily program is comprehensive, with sessions spread over the day, giving you ample time for reflection and relaxation. With a focus on mental health, mindfulness, and the spiritual and physical practice of yoga, you will leave with a fresh perspective and practical tools to live more mindfully.
