We're returning to Selvatica Eco Retreat for our third year in a row! đ±đ
Join me and Françoise Voranger from February 21 -28 for a week in the lush, magical paradise of Costa Rica. This retreat is an invitation to step away from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with your body, your breath, nature, and like-minded old and new friends.
Weâll spend the week immersed in the jungle at the dreamy SelvĂĄtica Eco Retreat, a peaceful oasis surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant wildlife. Most days will include two sessionsâ morning yoga and an afternoon workshopâ along with evening meditation and nourishing, family-style meals lovingly prepared by our wonderful hosts, Cristina and Sanders.
There will be plenty of time to unwind: lounge by the pool, wander the jungle paths, read in a hammock, or simply rest and be. Weâll also explore the beauty of Costa Rica together with a mangrove excursion (high chance of spotting monkeys!) and a visit to the nearby beach.
This is an intentionally intimate retreat with limited capacity, designed to create space for personal exploration, meaningful connection, and deep restoration. Whether youâre seeking growth, inspiration, or rest, youâll leave feeling grounded, nourished, and replenished.
Iâm especially excited to co-lead this experience with Françoise, an extraordinary teacher and mover with a lifelong background in dance and acrobatics. She brings a rare blend of creativity, intelligence, and playfulness to her teaching. Together, we share a passion for alignment, technique, and sustainable movement practices that support long-term strength and freedom in the body.
This retreat is open to all levels and all bodies. You don't need prior experience, just curiosity and a willingness to explore.

SelvĂĄtica Eco Retreat is my dream retreat destination, and Iâm so excited to return. Nestled in the vibrant Costa Rican jungle, surrounded by rich colors, soothing sounds, and abundant life, it offers the perfect setting to slow down, tune in, and fully reset.
The retreat center features two open-air yoga shalas where weâll gather for classes and workshops, a beautiful open-air dining space for shared meals, a serene jungle pool, a refreshing cold plunge, and nature trails that invite you to explore the surrounding landscape and wildlife.
All of this is just 20 minutes from some of Costa Ricaâs most pristine beachesâgiving you the best of both jungle immersion and ocean escape.
