Shakti Sadhana — Yoga Retreat in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica

A space of pause, listening, and conscious practice — where we cultivate a relationship with the body as sacred territory and with Shakti as the creative, intuitive, transformative life force. Throughout the retreat we immerse ourselves in sadhana as a living path: yoga, breathwork, meditation, ritual, free movement, and moments of silence — all held by nature and the collective field. A time to soften, shed layers, reconnect with intuition, and remember the gentle, authentic power that lives within you.

This retreat is for you if...

  • You feel the call to soften and shed layers.
  • You want to reconnect with your intuition and the wisdom of the body.
  • You are curious about Shakti as a living, creative force.
  • You are ready to be held by nature and a small collective field.
  • You arrive seeking practice, ritual, and a real return.

This is how it feels.

Mornings open with practice on the open-air shala. Afternoons soften into breathwork, ritual, or workshops. Evenings gather around food and dim light. Each practice is designed to awaken sensitivity, presence, and inner connection — while honoring personal rhythms and the innate wisdom of the body.

Voices from those who have arrived.

I arrived tired and left changed. Not because of any one thing, but because of the way everything was held — the food, the space, the silence.
