Embrace Your Bliss & the 8 Limbs of Yoga

Costa Rica Retreat ~ May 3rd-10th, 2025

JOIN THE WAITLIST

Slow down, nurture yourself and join us for a week in Costa Rica! Embrace the bliss within and all around you with daily yoga and meditation classes overlooking the ocean and plenty of time for nature hikes, excursions, and relaxing at the pool or stunning beaches.

Something magical happens when we travel together and immerse ourselves in yogic practice. Spaciousness, openness to explore, deep conversations, insights, self-realizations, grounding, and lightness all arise… and the ability to see more moments of joy, peace, bliss and appreciation.

We’ll explore the 8 Limbs of Yoga, including:

Intro to Yoga Philosophy & the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali (one of the wisdom texts of Yoga)
Yamas & Niyamas - universal codes of yoga
Asana - posture/seat
Pranayama - conscious breathing practices
Dharana - concentration
Dhyana - meditation
Samadhi - absorption

The 8 Limbs offer tools for the mind. They support us in cultivating peace, compassion, equanimity, and presence - and in bringing awareness into the way we live, love and embrace everyday life.

We’ll also have options for morning and evening silence. There’s much to learn from short spaces of drawing consciousness inward (we’re conditioned to expend so much energy outward) - conservation of our energy creates space for calm, clarity and vitality.

We hope you’ll join us!

Note for those interested in reading the first two chapters of the Sutras, use the translation by Swami Satchidananda or R. Jaganath Carrera.
