The Philosophy

Diving deeper

This week is curated to support and deepen your personal practice — with a strong emphasis on yoga, meditation and massage therapy, and on the healing arts of sound and energy work.

An oasis surrounded by paradise.
Come as you are. Leave restored.

The Curriculum

What you'll practice

Every day holds practice, study and rest — shaped around the people who show up. Everything is offered; nothing is required.

Daily yoga
Classes tailored to the group, plus posture clinics where you dive into your own alignment and understanding of the shape.
Workshops for the hands
Thai yoga assisted stretching in partners, reflexology, and — for the therapists among us — wrist health and body mechanics.
Massage clinics
Try different modalities and get honest feedback, in a setting built for deepening the practice rather than performing it.
Healing arts
Daily meditation and guided journaling, sound baths with time to learn the instruments, Reiki shares and clinics, and work that strengthens trust in your own intuition.

The Excursions

Leaving the oasis

Twice in the week we travel together. While we focus on the inner journey, we also celebrate the outer beauty of Costa Rica.

The Stay

Comfort in the wild

Vida Asana sits just into the jungle at Playa Hermosa, about twelve minutes outside Jacó. Most of what you need is within walking or cycling distance; taxis and Ubers run into town when you want more.
