The Location
There are many beautiful places to host a retreat. We chose Nosara for a reason. Nosara has quietly become one of the most respected yoga destinations in the world - not because it’s busy or performative, but because of what it protects.
Protected land, coastline, and a slower, more intentional way of living. There’s a depth to the practice here. Open-air studios tucked into the jungle, a culture that values presence, and a rhythm that naturally supports the nervous system in softening.It’s the kind of place where yoga returns to its roots - as something you live inside of.When we began envisioning this retreat, we knew we didn’t want a place that would distract or overwhelm. We wanted a place that would hold you. Nosara does that.
The Space We'll Call Home
Our retreat will be held at NaLu Nosara - a collection of thoughtfully designed villas that feel both elevated and deeply grounded.Each space is intentionally minimal yet warm, blending natural textures, open air living, and soft light. Indoor and outdoor spaces flow seamlessly, allowing you to move between solitude and connection with ease.You’ll find:- Sunlit rooms with neutral, calming tones
- Open-air kitchens and shared gathering spaces
- Private pools nestled into the jungle
- Thoughtful design that invites presence, not distractionEverything here supports one thing: coming back to yourself.
What to Expect
