Women's Yoga & Ayurveda Wellness Retreat in Costa Rica's Jungle

This retreat is based at Sukha, a small venue in Playa Chiquita, a quiet beach community just south of Puerto Viejo de Talamanca. The open-air yoga space overlooks the jungle, and mornings begin with meditation, pranayama, and an energizing Hatha Yoga session. After an Ayurvedic breakfast, mornings and afternoons are a mix of workshops, nature time, and personal exploration. Evenings wind down with a sharing circle, restorative Yin Yoga, and an Ayurvedic dinner, followed by journaling or quiet time.

What makes this retreat stand out is its intimate scale and focus on individual attention. With a maximum of six women, every participant gets personalized guidance from Marine, who draws on her training in yoga, Ayurveda, and counseling. The setting—immersed in nature between the sea and jungle—provides a serene backdrop for rest and reconnection. The retreat is not a spa holiday or a medical program; instead, it's a chance to tune into your body's needs through daily practice, nourishing food, and time in nature.

Marine, the facilitator, is a yoga teacher and mother of three who has called Costa Rica home for more than eight years. She combines yoga with Ayurveda and counseling, and her retreats are designed to help women slow down, rest, and reconnect with themselves. The retreat is conducted in French, which creates a unique, homely feel for French-speaking guests, though any woman comfortable with the language is welcome.
