On a mountain slope overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the retreat center offers spectacular views of jungle rolling down to the beach below. The beach at Uvita, Costa Rica slides outward in a point towards the sea, the end of which goes in either direction along a sandy expanse known as Cola de Ballena, ‘tail of the whale.’ At low tide, we’ll walk the beach. And at high tide, we’ll enjoy yoga in the open air space where macaws fly.
Selva Armonia is an immersive jungle resort offering an eco-luxury experience woven into ocean view permaculture gardens. Our time there is an exclusive experience – we’ve booked the whole site. We’ll enjoy the full attention of the staff, explore the permaculture gardens and soak in the beautiful ocean views.
This retreat is co-created and co-led by Sonya Jordan of Monticello Yoga and Jennifer McIntee of Beyond Bending Yoga (full bios at the bottom of this page) who have designed this experience with twice daily yoga, local excursions, and opportunities for private sessions to fill in your week. Slip in the pool and listen to the birds overhead. Wander the jungle on the waterfall hike. Fill up on farm-to-table food.
This is your retreat.
Six days and five nights feels like the right amount of time to slip off to tropical Costa Rica for this Yoga Lifestyle Retreat.
Immerse yourself in the Yogic Lifestyle with session twice daily, morning and evening. The morning session is the active side: flow-based practice with mindful movement that prepares you for meditation. The evening session is the slower side: restorative practices such as Yoga Nidra, Restorative Yoga, and Yin Yoga. We are intentionally making space for you to choose activities according to your own needs. There is time in the schedule for you to fill it with adventure and excursions or time find a quiet nook and relax.
Amenities abound on this retreat with all meals included and made with a farm-to-table, plant-forward approach. There is an infinity pool with ocean views and nearby staff to provide whatever you need between yoga sessions. Shuttles to and from the resort are complimentary. Your retreat package also includes a beautiful waterfall hike and the use of the pool. Climate controlled rooms are available.
We are also offering CECs with Yoga Alliance for this retreat for those of you who are looking to build or refresh your credentials through our trained and accredited teachers.
This retreat bundle offers convenience and exclusivity. The staff is there for us, and they will shuttle us in, feed us fantastic meals, take us on a waterfall hike, and then give us the space to do whatever else we want.
We had an AMAZING time at this retreat space two years ago – and we’ve got the pics to prove it!
