Nurturing Harmony Yoga Retreat
Nurture a deeper, more harmonious connection with yourself, others, and nature
About the retreat
Envision taking an entire seven days off from your day to day to reset, reconnect and replenish. Imagine how you will feel allowing your internal rhythms to reintegrate with the natural rhythms and tropical pace of life at The Hacienda Del Sol (House of the Sun), an intimate retreat center nestled in the lush jungle along the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica; surrounded by pristine forest, exhilarating mountain views, tropical birds and monkeys, and undeveloped beaches.
This sanctuary for body, mind and soul is an ideal setting to shower yourself with time to simply “be”, and connect deeper with yourself, nature and others through daily nourishing practices such as gentle dynamic and restorative yoga, breathwork and guided meditation; self-massage and other healing techniques; and the ability to connect with and express your voice with Vedic chanting, yoga-sound integration, or singing in song circles and music jams. Plus you have the opportunity to explore the broader area through two guided hikes and a boat cruise included in the retreat, as well as a range of adventures you can choose from - zip lining through the jungle, horseback riding or kayaking to name a few!
Gift yourself the gift of TIME to nurture a state of inner harmony! Come home feeling refreshed, more deeply connected, and more YOU!
About Hacienda Del Sol
Hacienda del Sol itself boasts organic gardens and incredible food; every single thing they serve is delicious, healthy, and full of love. The setting is intimate with 12 cabinas (including bathrooms), each artistically designed and different from one another. On the grounds there is a salt-water infinity pool, outdoor covered yoga space with jungle scenery and soundscape, open air dining area over looking lush flower gardens, world class massage therapists, a wifi area if you absolutely must stay in touch, a meditation hut, and friendly staff whose priority is making sure your stay is as peaceful and nourishing as possible.

For those with a desire for exploration and adventure, there’s no place quite like Costa Rica! You can choose from a range of adventures, from a leisurely kayak to a full-on zip-line tour of the jungle canopy. Other adventures include an ATV waterfall tour, horseback riding, stand-up paddle boarding, surfing, and more…
Each day, there is a free shuttle to a different local beach where we can swim and take in the gorgeous sunsets.
What does a day look like?
We begin each morning early, as the jungle wakes up! After a light snack of fruit, tea, coffee or juice, we’ll do a half hour of walking and seated meditation, followed by a short break and then an hour and a half of gentle dynamic or restorative yoga (suitable for all levels and abilities). From there, each day will be a little bit different, with optional excursions and adventures, talks on yoga philosophy and healing, and afternoon yoga classes. You will also be invited to join evening song circles and chant sessions. No experience necessary. There’s lots of free time built in to the retreat to hike to the beach, hang out by the pool, have a massage, journal, take a nap, or whatever else you want to do!

why we need retreats
Let's face it, life can be FULL ON, in a way where we are doing and managing so many things, projects and relationships that we have little time for ourselves. Many of us have little time to rest or "be", let alone dream or align our life with our truest essence and deepest desires.
A retreat is TIME. It is self-nurturing, self-connecting time where you get away from the daily grind, distractions and obligations. There is nothing but nature, nurturing and you. You re-set, you re-connect, and you re-plenish your being. You listen to the most intimate callings from your heart and remember... Retreats can be rejuvenating, transformative and essential in providing yourself with the space and self-care tools needed to navigate your life (back home) in a way that aligns with your truest essence.
I know for me, once I started retreating it became clear that this form of self-care was not just a luxury but a necessity. The space and time retreats provide allow for a closeness with self that just do not compare to the day to day. This closeness with self has allowed in me the ability to more fully see what is going on in my inner world and connect, clear away and bring in the essence of who I am and what I desire in my life. This time has given me tools that I have integrated into my day to day. I have seen magic and healing happen not just for me but the other participants involved. This community that is formed is part of that magic and healing that not only take place the moment but continues to evolve and support you back in "the real world". I wish this time, self closeness and self care for all of you!
Unlock your ease, joy and potential and give yourself this gift today! Join me in Costa Rica!
