Take yourself on a Wellness Retreat in Costa Rica🧘🏻‍♀️

Visiting Costa Rica is nourishing for the mind, body, and soul. I can confidently say that I came out of my travels here as a changed person, as I was able to connect with myself spiritually on so many levels. There are so many opportunities to participate in wellness classes, spiritual ceremonies, healing spaces, or massage services around the country that will help you unplug and recenter into “pura vida.” (aka pure life)

Here are the wellness activities we experienced during our Costa Rica visit:

🧘🏻‍♀️ Yoga Classes - Practice your Downward Dog, Warrior 2, or Vipassana (my favorite) as you reconnect with your body and soul in these gorgeous, lush, open-air yoga studios. We did our classes at different Selina Properties, as they host classes daily, but you can find yoga classes pretty much anywhere you look at any wellness facility in Costa Rica!

Locations: Any Selina Property | Price Varies by location, often included with Selina Colive

🌿PURE Jungle Spa - Celebrate life and lean into relaxation with various spa services such as massages, body treatments, chocolate scrubs, facials, and more. What’s special about Costa Rica is that they can use pure cacao for body scrubs, so definitely take advantage of that opportunity. It makes your skin so soft and truly smells divine!

Location: Puerto Viejo | Prices Vary by Treatment | Book via spa website

🫁 Breathwork Class - The breath is some of the most healing medicine we have. Seek out a live Breathwork Class while you’re in Costa Rica and watch it work it’s magic. We did a session with conscious connected breathwork, which involves breathing with no pause between inhales and exhales. Some benefits of the session were emotional release and nervous system regulation.

Location: AmaSer | Yoga Center & Café (schedule subject to change) | Events typically run $15-$30 | Book via website

🔔 Sound Journey - Allow the sounds of the instruments to clear, transform, and transmute your energy during this beautiful sound journey. Bonus points if it’s in a peaceful mountainous setting like Monteverde! During the session, you close your eyes, lay down on your mat, and allow the vibrations of the instruments heal and relax you during this hour long experience.

Location: Selina Monteverde | Private Session is approx. $80 | Book via front desk

🍫 Cacao Ceremony - The indigenous tribes of Costa Rica consider cacao to be very sacred. Honor the Cacao by enjoying small sips and going inwards. Your facilitator will lead through a sacred ceremony where you can call in your desires, connect with the earth, and release what no longer serves you.

Booked through: Holis Wellness Center | Approx. $65 per person

☕️ Ceremonial Cacao Drink - If you do not have time for a full ceremony, you are able to purchase the ceremonial grade cacao drink from Varuna Plant-Based Food & Juice Bar. Drink it slowly and mindfully for the optimal experience. It even has beautiful rose petals on top!

Available at: Varuna Plant-Based Food & Juice Bar in Manuel Antonio | Approx. $6-$8
