3rd Annual Pura Vida: Women’s Costa Rica Retreat - 6 nights/7 days

The Epic Experience

A one-of-a-kind pura vida retreat! You can expect 2025 to offer the same soul-fueling fun but enhancements to keep it fresh!

Join us for an immersive experience in nature where we will vinyasa to the sounds of birds and monkeys, create new friendships and perspectives, and be healed and rejuvenated by sun, sand, and movement. It’s time to unplug, lean into community, and treat yourself to an unforgettable experience.

We’ve added an extra day & night as well as a cultural experience, sunset meditation, sunrise hike & more!

What past retreaters are saying…

“When I booked my spot for the Costa Rica Pura Vida Retreat, I was looking for a reset and a way to get away from the city and come home feeling healthy, refreshed & restored! This retreat did all that AND MUCH MORE. I instantly felt a sense of community and connection to the other participants and left with new friends and a love for a country (and its people) that I had never visited before! Couldn’t recommend enough – I will also say that the quality and instruction of yoga is top tier!!”

DISCLOSURE: THIS IS A PURA VIDA LIFESTYLE RETREAT. WE ARE STAYING IN THE JUNGLE IN COSTA RICA. THERE ARE BUGS/CREATURES, THE BEDS AREN’T LUXE & PLUSH BUT THE CABINAS ARE PART OF THE CULTURAL EXPERIENCE. THIS IS A FULL IMMERSION INTO THE LIFESTYLE. IF THAT LIFESTYLE DOESN’T SUIT YOU, WE GET IT, AND WANT TO BE FULLY TRANSPARENT!

More love from past retreaters of 2024

“Transformative. Magical. Extraordinary. These are just a few of the words that come to mind when I think of the truly one-of-a-kind week I spent with Sheila, Krysta-Lyn and all my new friends at the Pura Vida Retreat. Whether you’re looking for a yoga retreat to deepen your practice, a place to heal and grow, an opportunity to make new connections and relationships, or soak up the sunshine – this retreat is for you. You’ll do all of that and BEYOND. You’ll discover new parts of yourself, you’ll experience the people, food and Pura Vida lifestyle of Costa Rica and you’ll be enchanted by the coastline and sunrises/sunsets. It was such a life-changing experience for myself and many others – I can’t wait to join this retreat again in 2025!!!!”

“I was a return retreater and the experience felt just as magical! The trip is flexible so that you are able to make it exactly what you need/want it to be.”

“Don’t hesitate, just do it! Do it for yourself; Trust me, you won’t regret it. I’ve gone on the Pura Vida retreat twice now and have loved every second of both years. Not only do I get to check in with myself and fill my cup, but I also get to connect with amazing people and build my community. The best way to explain it was my first year at the retreat helped me figure out where I want to be and what path(s) I need to begin to get there, and year 2 allowed me to stop from the craziness and check in with myself; make sure I was still on the path I wanted and was doing the right things for myself and my journey. Can’t forget the amazing leaders Sheila and Krysta-Lyn! They have created an amazing, fun, warming and welcoming safe space for us to all enjoy and be comfortable with getting vulnerable together.”
