About this trip

7 Days of Retreat & Yoga

Leave the routine of your daily life and come home. Come home to what you already have and already know. Oftentimes, the obligations and routines of our daily life challenge our ability to connect with our inner wisdom.


The practices of yoga, meditation, journal writing, and discussion will, throughout the week, will help guide us back to the place within each one of us which is our home base.


Our intention is to provide an opportunity to find the tranquil space within via the practices of yoga, meditation and mindfulness. During our twice daily scheduled time together, we will weave these practices together, so that the physical practice of yoga may become the metaphor for the inner journey


This Costa Rica retreat naturally offers the silence, space and beauty to slow down, tune in, connect and journey home to the wisdom necessary to do your life’s work. Yoga is used as the organic metaphor for life experiences. Away from the busyness and routines, a new rhythm arises; A rhythm woven with movement, nurturing and deep connection. Challenge, feel and connect to the wisdom always available and already within you. 


Daily practices of mindfulness, meditation and journaling will be easily incorporated beyond the retreat environment. Take home with you the ability to connect amidst the storm of life’s challenges and beauty.

I have followed Erin on YouTube for several years and have enjoyed her teaching and the kindness and genuineness that she demonstrates in her videos, a perception that was many times magnified when I met her in person. The entire week was carefully thought-out and well organized with time to spend on your own or participating in other activities offered in the area. Erin and Matt are genuine, enthusiastic, warm and generous and go to great lengths to make everyone feel special and appreciated. The yoga sessions are well-balanced and provide plenty of options with no hint of competition or pressure. As a woman approaching her 80’s I was definitely moving out of my comfort zone to join this retreat, especially knowing none of the other participants. However, the friendship, comradery, and support among members of this group was unparalleled. Special thanks to Matt for the beautiful photos and guitar playing. The site was beautiful, the staff friendly, and the food healthy and well prepared. I highly recommend this retreat to people of any age.

Beautiful villa, rooms were perfect. A variety of excursions reasonably priced. It's important to note, water and food supply contaminated causing widespread serious illness for majority of guests

Erin and Matt are amazing. They are without a doubt some of the best people I’ve ever met!. They bring the most fantastic people together too.. Every detail of the retreat is planned with such care. The yoga practice, and beauty of Casa Kismet all come together making this an incredible experience.

I have been following Erin since lock down in 2020 and I knew early on that she was my teacher. To have the opportunity to participate in this retreat, to meet her in person and to practice with her was priceless. Erin is the same on camera as she is in person. She is authentic, real, passionate about the practice of yoga and a very sweet person. Her style of yoga is intense and deliberate, and I love the way she uses the entire mat, moving from pose to pose like a dance. When you leave your mat, you do so feeling renewed, refreshed and relaxed. Erin and Matt are an amazing team, so real, very open and humble. They are passionate about making a contribution to improving people's lives for the better through the practice of yoga. The retreat was planned and organized with every detail taken care of. The accommodations were clean, good food served on time and the staff at Casas Kismet were friendly and very helpful. For me the retreat was truly a life transforming experience on so many levels. I left there feeling so spacious and a deep sense of inner peace. Thank you Erin and Matt. You are the best!

1) Yoga classes were carefully planned and very useful to me. Perhaps more corrections on a one to one basis are needed from Erin; 2) A buffet would be a better choice next time to prevent so much food waste; 3) Please have bottled water instead of tap water for guests. Constant coversation around being sick from water consumption (not my case) was very tiring to me; 4) Matt has to be more responsive to shuttle bus arrangements instead of leaving this job to the owner of the hotel who really did not care at all; 5) I was charged too much for transportation when going to Papagayo Mangrove which is on the way to Liberia, even before Guardia. People going further (to Liberia) paid half. I was ripped off; 6) The hotel should receive payment by credit or debit card; building a larger water tank may be also be very useful; 7) Please be aware that costs in Costa Rica for people who do not earn dollars are very high. Keep up with the good work.
