THE LIGHT YOU CARRY
Nosara, Costa Rica
THE RETREAT
The Essence of The Light You Carry
"Tadā draṣṭuḥ svarūpe avasthānam" (Yoga Sutra 1.3) - When the fluctuations of the mind settle, the seer rests in their true nature."
In the yogic tradition, we are taught that our true nature is already whole, wise, and radiant. Yet in the business of modern life, it is easy to become disconnected from that inner luminosity. Blessings we once prayed for start to feel like heavy obligations. We begin to identify with our responsibilities, expectations, and endless to-do lists rather than the deeper essence that lives beneath them.
This week energetically feels like taking off a heavy backpack after a long, arduous hike. It's not just an experience available to you for the retreat, but a point of reference you take home with you. Yoga reminds us that nothing is missing.
As we move, breathe, reflect, and gather in community, you will be invited to reconnect with your intuition, your vitality, and the unique light you carry into the world.
Whether you arrive seeking clarity, renewal, inspiration, or simply a moment to exhale in high vibrational community, our intention is to create a sacred container where you can remember the brilliance that has been within you all along.

The Location: The Nomadic in Nosara, Costa Rica
Let's talk about Nosara, Costa Rica aka Heaven on Earth. Nosara is a place where everyone walking around is smiling because how could you not? The sun is shining. The food is fresh. The pace of life slows you down enough to remember the miracle of right here, right now. We describe Nosara as a place you inner light can shine effortlessly. You may just have to experience the magic yourself to fully understand.
The Nomadic Hotel will be our home for the week. Anna hosted her first Costa Rica Retreat here in 2024, and loved it so much that we are returning! Inspired by Balinese architecture it's designed to blur the line between indoors and out. Mornings begin with coffee and practice in the open air shala. Free time is spent by the pool, exploring town, catching waves, or taking just a 3 minute walk to the beach. Evenings gather us around long tables for nourishing meals, meaningful conversation and giggles on giggles.
