Dear Sun Lotus Team, Karen and I recently returned from the Journey to Freedom retreat, and overall, we are happy to give it five stars. From beginning to end, the retreat was extremely well organized. The excursions were phenomenal — the whale watch, the trip to Tortuga Island, and zip lining were all unforgettable experiences. Each activity was thoughtfully planned and added so much depth and adventure to the week. Spending a week with Joseph was beyond our expectations. His presence, guidance, and leadership created a meaningful and inspiring experience for both of us. Joseph and Catalina truly make a great team, and their energy, professionalism, and care for the group did not go unnoticed. We are deeply grateful for the experience. We do want to offer two small pieces of constructive feedback: First, the 7:30 PM dinner time was challenging for us. We found eating that late in the evening difficult, particularly after full days of yoga and activity. Second, the morning schedule felt a bit compressed. The time between breakfast, yoga, and preparing for excursions sometimes felt rushed. A slightly longer transition window would have made the mornings feel more relaxed. That said, these were minor points in what was otherwise an outstanding week. We highly recommend the Sun Lotus Journey to Freedom retreat and truly look forward to returning in the future. With gratitude,Tom & Karen

I loved everything about the trip. Great yoga, food, people and wildlife! One of my best experiences.

The week of Journey to Freedom 2026 was incredible. The classes with Joseph were over the top FABULOUS! So much I learned in the 5 days of yoga!! The food was excellent. Costa Rica is a beautiful country along with wonderful people. Joseph & Carolina are amazing hosts. Everything was so well organized....never a hitch. All we had to do was show up! Thank you Joseph & Carolina for organizing & hosting this magnificent week! Namaste.

We had a wonderful experience. We grew in our yoga practice and learned much from Joseph. The food was good and the staff were attentive and always available. The retreat was well organized. We look forward to attending again.

This was my best vacation ever. I love hot yoga and Costa Rica. I had a beautiful experience and would love to keep coming year after year. Joseph and Carolina are very kind and attentive hosts, and Joseph is an inspiration that I will always keep with me on the mat. It was challenging, fun, and the food was delicious and fresh. Hotel Doce Lunes is top notch. I loved it! Namaste.
