Santa Teresa

View of a bay with a sandy beach, surrounded by lush green hills and mountains, under a setting sun, with calm waters and sparse trees in the foreground.

  • While this retreat is open to all, and is an amazing way to dive deeper into your own practice with personalized instruction- we do recommend a previous foundation of a yoga and or pilates practice. Start exploring a few classes now, and you will be more than ready for a June retreat!

  • Come to everything- or come to only what feels right. This retreat is truly yours. One of the core teachings of our yoga and pilates practice is learning to listen to your body and trust what it’s asking for. That means honoring your ability to say yes and no, without guilt. This is your vacation, and everyone experiences travel and rest differently.

  • We recommend flying into San Jose, Costa Rica (SJO), the centrally located capital city of the country on either Saturday, June 5th or Sunday, June 6th.

    There are a few options to get from San Jose to Santa Teresa- the most efficient and timely way is to take a short flight on a jumper plane to Cobano (CBU) through Sansa Airlines. Sansa airport is located right next to San Jose Airport- a 1 minute walk! We will arrange to pick you up from Cobano when you arrive.

    If you are interested in another option, taking a bus or shuttle from SJO to Santa Teresa is a budget option, but it will take about 7 hours.

    We are happy to help with any questions with traveling!

  • We can accommodate it all! The beauty of having a private chef is that everything is customizable. Just be sure to let us know ahead of time so we can keep our chef in the loop.
