6-Day Women's Beginner Yoga & Ayurveda Wellness Retreat in Costa Rica

This retreat was created as a gentle gateway into a consistent yoga practice. Over the 6 days, you'll become familiar with the path of yoga, learning proper alignment of basic postures (asanas), simple Ayurveda teachings, and the philosophy behind the practice. There is no expectation to perform and no pressure to look a certain way; everything is taught slowly, clearly, and with care. The teachings of Ayurveda, yoga’s sister science, are woven into the daily schedule through movement, rest, and nourishment, helping you naturally reset to the rhythms of your environment.

A key aspect of this retreat is the small group size, which is limited to just four participants. This ensures you receive personalized and individualized attention, allowing Sonia to tailor the experience to your needs. Your journey begins with a pre-retreat consultation where Sonia acts as your personal concierge, piecing together every detail of your stay. Each day, you'll learn how different practices affect you personally—when you feel energized, when you need grounding, and how small shifts in routine can support your balance and well-being. This approach is practical and intuitive, helping you feel more at home in your body rather than overwhelmed by information.

The retreat takes place at Pura Veda, a property designed in harmony with the natural energies of the land. Surrounded by lush flora that welcomes hummingbirds, butterflies, and songbirds, it offers modern comfort blended with the simplicity of nature. You are located only 1.5 km from the beach, with easy access to hidden gems like the 'Secret Beach' and other pristine beaches in the area. With its focus on holistic wellness, personalized teaching, and a deeply supportive environment, this retreat offers a unique and transformative introduction to yoga that many participants describe as life-changing.
