Yoga, Nature, and Renewal in Costa Rica
In the Heart of the Blue Lotus
About the Retreat:
June 25-29, 2026
Thursday - Monday (4 nights, 5 days)
Pagoda del Loto Azul
On Escaleras mountain, Uvita-Dominical, Costa Rica
Immerse yourself in a transformative yoga retreat in the lush beauty of Costa Rica. Set amidst breathtaking nature, this retreat is a sanctuary for those seeking to reconnect with themselves and the earth.
​
Yoga, in its deepest essence, has always been about connection—not just to the body, but to the earth, the elements, and the natural world around us. At this retreat we offer a sanctuary where you can slow down, breathe deeply, and tap into the profound wisdom of nature.
​
With daily yoga practice, nourishing vegetarian meals, guided excursions into the wild, and mindful relaxation, you’ll be given the space to recharge and renew. The blue lotus, a symbol of spiritual growth, will serve as a guiding metaphor throughout the retreat—representing your own journey of transformation, clarity, and personal evolution.
​
You’ll return home feeling more grounded, with a deeper understanding of who you are and a clearer sense of purpose. You'll leave with greater intention for how to live each day, connected to both your inner self and the world around you.
