Are you seeking more than just a vacation? Imagine waking up in a Blue Zone, where life flows with vitality, the air is thick with salt and sunlight, and the ocean whispers renewal. Seven days of movement, breath, and discovery—morning practices guided by teachers whose wisdom runs deep, workshops that transform the way you move, and an environment that nourishes your body and spirit.
Here, you’ll walk barefoot on untouched sands, feel the ocean cradle you, and taste food so fresh it feels like medicine. You’ll find strength in stillness, joy in motion, and a connection to something larger than yourself. Hosted in a secluded beachfront sanctuary, this retreat is not just an escape—it’s a return to the essence of being alive. Join us in Nosara, Costa Rica, where the sun sets in gold and time moves to the rhythm of the waves.
Join us in January 2026 for the retreat of a lifetime.
TEACHERS
Darby and Joanne
Join master Ashtanga teachers Darby and Joanne for a weeklong immersion in yoga. Through daily Mysore classes, workshops, adjustments, meditation, and discussions, they create an enriching experience that touches students at every level.
Drawing from decades of global teaching - most recently leading workshops across Korea and China - they share insights that blend tradition with innovation. Darby's unique gift lies in his ability to break down movement, from breath fundamentals to floating handstands, with remarkable clarity and directness. Together with Joanne, they create a supportive space where each student discovers new depths in their practice.
Their warmth and wisdom help unlock both subtle refinements and creative solutions in every pose, making profound aspects of practice accessible to all.A

Winter days bring consistent 33-degree Celsius temperatures and stunning Pacific sunsets. This unique atmosphere has drawn yogis and surfers, backpackers and billionaires alike. Our retreat compound, one of the few with direct beach access, offers an extraordinary connection to this natural paradise. Watch howler monkeys swing through the trees, or wander nearby jungle paths.
