About this trip

We're going back to the beach! Actually, we're going to be ON the beach!! Join us for a perfect winter escape and the gift to unwind, reenergize, and restore your energy...reconnecting to yourself and feeling at hOMe with an incredible community of yogis for a chill week of yoga, healing, surfing, culture and ceremony.  


We are so excited to host our Third Annual Yoga, Reiki + Excursions Retreat at Costa Dulce Beach Bungalows and Retreat Center in Nicaragua: www.costadulcebeach.com


On a beautiful sandy beach, just 30 minutes south of San Juan Del Sur, you'll have a week off the beaten path, surrounded by natural beauty in the tropical dry forest, while living and breathing the beach. 


At Costa Dolce, natural living meets rustic luxury where every bungalow offers an ocean view, looking out to our private pristine beach. Wake to sounds of waves crashing, birds chirping and monkeys howling, find tranquility and peacefulness with stunning ocean views and epic waves!    


Come deepen your practice, while allowing space for a new perspective. Breathe, meditate, and receive Reiki from both Angela and Yuval while setting the groundwork for your own self healing. Explore the body in space, take time to flow mindfully and also slow down to "workshop" and investigate key actions required for a step-by-step approach to achieving a pose. 


As always, excursions are included and you'll have time to surf, horseback ride, visit a local village to learn about the native culture, and take part in a beach fire ceremony. Lots of free time to lay in a hammock, soak in the sun, or indulge in a spa treatment. You will feel inspired to find your own pace and to give yourself exactly what you need at every moment, AND you'll be fully supported to do just that for yourself! 


***As a special GIFT from Yuval and Angela, we are happy to give you a 1-hr spa treatment of your choice (massage or acupuncture) for free, to help you further relax into "beach life" and exhale. This is from us to you, as a token of appreciation, simply for signing up :)


All levels of practitioners are welcome; however, a reasonable level of physical fitness and experience with vinyasa yoga is assumed.


Be sure to scroll through the gorgeous photos at top of this page for further views of the beautiful beach, serene surroundings and unique accommodations.

This long awaited trip started with a huge bump where our flight was delayed thereby missing one day of the retreat. However, all of these were forgotten upon our arrival at Lake Atitlan the following day. The view and entire surroundings took my breath away. The place is just so magical! Angela and Yuval truly did an excellent job in organizing this retreat. Both were very thorough in making sure our needs are met in all areas: yoga practice; excursions; our safety and comfort. Over-all, I am extremely happy with my experience! This is truly one unforgettable adventure.

The trip was an amazing experience, from the venue, to the food, to the world class yoga instructors. It was a pleasure to experience the trip with the other amazing yogis. Thank you Yuval and Angela for showing us this gem in Guatemala

What an amazing experience!! The yoga and other healing activities were wonderful; Villa Sumaya is beautiful, offered delicious vegetarian food and its staff was friendly. I highly recommend doing a retreat or other group event at Sumaya. Yuval put together a balanced, thoughtful program for our week there, plus his energy is infectious! I recommend him as a teacher and retreat leader!

I had such an amazing experience last year that I decided to join this dynamic duo (Angela & Yuval) once again. I honestly could not wait till February and literally counted down the days. Of course, I had another Fabulous time in this magical place with beautiful people. The things that were familiar were all the things I needed. From nourishing, healthy and DELICIOUS foods to clean and extremely well maintained accommodations. All my needs were met, which allowed me to FULLY relax and enjoy this time (just to say that aspect truly makes all the difference).. It's so much more than a yoga retreat. It was like coming home for me because I was able to go deeper and learn even more about myself and try some new things. The community vibe is everything! There was a mix of returning folks from last year, past retreat goers and new people that joined us. We built connections quickly and shared so many conversations that were rich and meaningful. Our daily yoga classes with the absolutely STUNNING view of the Lake were simply the BEST way to start and end the day. We also had tremendous fun on our group excursions and enjoyed healing body treatments. Angela & Yuval are incredibly generous beings, curators and hosts of this journey. I'm grateful for all the tireless effort and hard work that went into making this retreat so special for us. It was seamless. For me, this is an annual trip and my yearly reset. Can you tell how much I loved it? To be honest, words and pictures really don't do it justice. It has to be experienced, so you should come join us! Thank you so much Yuval & Angela, see you next year!

Angela and Yuval are masterful at creating an inclusive and vibrant community. I immensely enjoyed the daily yoga classes, engaging activities and fun conversations. The location was simply magical and the food at Villa Sumaya was to die for! I look forward to joining the retreat next year and can't say enough about how much this trip replenished my soul. Love to you both. XOXO Toya
