BUENA ONDA RETREAT
YOGA | MEDITATION | WAVES | SUNSHINE
January 16-23, 2027 | Nosara, Costa Rica
Join me on my fourth journey to the beautiful beaches and jungle of Nosara, Costa Rica. This place is a mecca for yoga, surf, food, and good vibes. January is the perfect time of year to step away from our fast paced lives to reconnect with ourselves, each other, and Mother Earth.
We retreat at a private jungle sanctuary surrounded by palm trees and blue sky. Gather to enjoy open air meals prepared by a fabulous on-site chef, and relax in the saltwater pool just steps from your poolside bungalow.
Each day offers morning yoga, special experiences, and curated workshops to help you unwind and go deeper. Choose your own adventure with optional surf lessons, zip lining, horseback riding, and more. Keep it buena onda (chill) and grab a massage, take a beach walk, or enjoy the plentiful local shopping and art.
​​
In order to create an intimate experience, this retreat is for women only and is limited to 12 guests.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is this retreat being held?
BUENA ONDA RETREAT will be hosted at a private retreat center in Nosara, Costa Rica. This beautifully designed wellness sanctuary tucked in the lush jungle just minutes from stunning beaches, incredible surf, fabulous restaurants and Nosara’s high-vibe wellness scene. Once registered, participants receive more details on exact location.
Do I need to be an experienced yogi to join?
Nope! This retreat is open to all levels. Yoga is so much more than the physical practice, though we will be practicing a wide variety of yoga while on this retreat - from invigorating morning vinyasa to chill afternoon restorative. All yoga classes and workshops are totally optional - do what feels good to you and your body.
What is a typical day like on retreat?
A typical day on retreat in Nosara is as chill or as vibrant as you want it to be! I like to start my day early watching the sunrise at the beach, cacao in hand. Then, morning yoga followed by some time to chill and explore. Mid-day we have lunch on-site or at a local eatery In the afternoon, a yoga workshop or group session brings us all back together before we eat dinner prepared by our private chef!
How do I get from the airport to Nosara?
There are many safe and reliable transportation companies that offer shared and private shuttles to and from the Nosara area. I exclusively recommend Terratour! For adventurous spirits, there is also a small plane flight from Liberia to Nosara.
Is Nosara safe for travelers?
Yes! Nosara is known for being a safe, welcoming, and laid-back destination. It’s a small, wellness-focused town with a strong sense of community, attracting yogis, surfers, and travelers from around the world. That said, like anywhere, it’s always good to stay aware of your surroundings and take standard precautions. There is security in place at our retreat center, and all rooms are equipped with a safe.
