We’ll journey to the jungle beaches of Costa Rica to immerse in practice, culture and play. This weeklong retreat will delight in the 5 senses - daily yoga and meditation, a spectacular jungle luxe property, and moments of stillness woven with joy. With 2 groups outings to surf and visit a local hidden gem double waterfall, and space to adventure or simply rest, this retreat invites you to drop into the rhythm of nature and reconnect with what’s essential.

Our home for the week is The Line Up, a luxurious 8-bedroom jungle compound on two acres of the pristine Huacas Hillside overlooking the beach of Playa Guiones. Here, we gather to breathe, move, chant, feel, explore and return — again and again — to the heart.

A home away from home

Nourishment

Vitality and clarity arise from what we feed our bodies. At this retreat, food is a practice of care—locally sourced and prepared with a commitment to real nourishment. Each dish is crafted to be both delicious and deeply supportive of your energy, digestion, and overall wellbeing.

Brunch and dinner are homemade in The Line Up’s kitchen using fresh, local, and organic ingredients whenever possible. Meals are vibrant and wholesome, free from refined sugar, and processed foods.

Menus will include options for most guests. If you have special needs, Kelly will work with you directly to ensure you feel supported. Whether you’re sipping a homemade juice or sharing a warm meal after practice, the food is designed to nourish you from the inside out.

Accommodations

The Line Up is more than a villa — it’s a sanctuary designed for connection, practice, and deep rest. Perched in the jungle above Playa Guiones, the home offers sweeping views of the Pacific and the lush green canopy below. Every space is crafted with both comfort and inspiration in mind: a place to restore balance, gather in community, and return to yourself.

Each room is unique, blending modern design with natural elements. From expansive master suites to cozy casitas and shared lofts, accommodations provide a range of options to support your needs — whether you crave privacy or wish to share with friends.

All guests enjoy access to the villa’s infinity pool, open living spaces, and chef-prepared meals in the communal kitchen. Just a short ride down the hill, Playa Guiones awaits with world-class surf and a vibrant beach town.

  • Premium Master Suites — spacious retreats with king beds, ensuites, and ocean views
