Costa Rica · Winter Women's Retreat
You know the one. She wakes up early because she wants to, not because she has to. She says yes to the thing that scares her a little. She hasn't looked at her phone in six hours — and hasn't noticed.
The honest pitch
Five nights won't fix your life. It doesn't need to.
It just needs to remind you what it feels like to be in your body again — sweating, laughing, a little sore, completely unbothered by your inbox.
This is a yoga and adventure retreat. Both halves matter. You'll move through daily yoga, pilates, and sculpt with Sarah — the kind of practice that meets you wherever you land that morning, tired or wired or somewhere in between. And you'll get outside: ATVing through the jungle, hiking to an 85-foot waterfall, floating in an infinity pool that looks out over all of it.
No one's asking you to have a breakthrough. If one shows up, good. If it doesn't, you still got five days in the jungle with women who get it, food you didn't cook, and a body that remembers how to move.
Who this is for
For the woman who's tired — not dramatically, just quietly, in the way that builds up over months of holding everything together.
She doesn't need to be talked into self-care. She needs someone to hand her a plane ticket and a schedule and say this part's handled.
She wants to move her body somewhere that isn't a gym, with people who aren't going to ask what she does for work five minutes in.
She wants adventure that isn't a spa day, and rest that isn't a nap between errands. Both, in the same week — without having to plan either.
If any of that sounds like you, you're who we built this for.
The shape of a day
Sunrise to stars, nobody's timing you.
Early morning
Movement before the heat
Yoga, pilates, and sculpt with Sarah, outdoors on the open-air deck. Some mornings slow and grounding. Some mornings you'll be sore by lunch.
Midday
Adventure, built in
ATV rides through the Diamante Valley jungle. A hike to the 85-foot waterfall — the kind of hike where you stop talking because the view does it for you.
Afternoon
Time that's actually yours
The infinity pool. A hammock. The journal you brought and forgot you packed. Optional massages if you want them.
Evening
Food that shows up
Fresh, local, farm-to-table meals from the property's permaculture gardens. You won't touch a stove all week. Then a sky full of stars.
Where you'll be
Vajra Jahra — Diamante Valley, Costa Rica
Jungle in every direction and an unobstructed view of the tallest waterfall in the region. Remote enough that your phone stops mattering. Comfortable enough that you'll actually rest.
Infinity pool overlooking an 85-foot waterfall
Balinese-inspired bungalows — elegant eco-luxury, not roughing it
