Embodied Strength Wellness Retreat in Boquete, Panama

The Awākend Athlēta retreat is built around the idea that lasting change comes from the body, not the intellect. During the week, you'll take part in daily meditation and pranayama sessions, as well as movement and embodiment exercises, all designed to surface and rewrite limiting beliefs. There are also specialized workshops, group excursions, and nature hikes with a guide. The retreat is carefully sequenced, so each day builds on the last, moving from inner work to integration.

Your host, Katherine Sophia, is a Master Yogini, a 70.3 Ironman triathlete, and a spiritual teacher who has worked in over 40 countries. She founded YiA International School of Transformation & Yoga, which runs this retreat. The school is a registered yoga school, and Katherine has led thousands of people through her signature mix of yoga, breathwork, and coaching. The group size of 1 to 15 keeps things intimate, so there's room for personal attention and for the group to become a close community.

The setting at Valle Escondido makes it easy to go deep. The resort is a gated property with a river running through it, near the small town of Boquete. There are three restaurants on site, a full spa, tennis courts, and a versatile gym with CrossFit equipment. The retreat includes time to use these facilities, and you can upgrade to add massages or spa treatments. Whether you are new to this kind of work or have been on many retreats, the program is designed to meet you where you are.
