I had a wonderful time, great community, yoga, food, friends! Would definately go again!

The retreat at Casa Kismet in Nosara was an incredibly meaningful experience for me. Jess, Val, and Meg (and BJ!) created a space that struck a rare balance, thoughtfully structured yet flexible enough to meet each person where they were. From the daily rhythm of yoga and nourishing meals to the opportunities for adventure, learning, and genuine connection, every element felt intentional. What stood out most was the way the experience supported both personal growth and community—whether through Ayurveda discussions, time in the local culture, or simple shared moments with new friends, there was a sense of being both challenged and held. It allowed me to reset, reflect, and reconnect, not only with myself, but also with my mom in a deeper and more meaningful way. I left feeling grounded, energized, and truly grateful for the experience. It was the reset I was hoping for.

We had an amazing experience in Nosara with Awake Minds Yoga. Our retreat center was well managed and it was great to have the whole venue to ourselves. Everything was handled by our teachers well. We especially enjoyed the excursions- kayaking and a catamaran cruise. Food was healthy and appealing. Veiws were great. Proximity to the beach meant there was always something to do. I came home feeling stronger and more centered.

Amazing experience. The center was top notch, food and drinks were delicious. Lots of amenities to enjoy. The staff was friendly and attentive. The yoga leaders were top notch. Everything was perfect.
