our Retreat Center

We’ll gather under the first new moon of the new year, where the ocean meets the rainforest, at our private, boutique yoga and well-being destination. Located steps from the beach at Golfo Dulce (sweet gulf) and a boat ride from Corcovado National Park, this is a retreat in its truest sense - immersed in nature’s rhythms, we gather to renew the body, mind and spirit.

Reclaim your untamed essence within the unsurpassed bio-diversity of the Osa Peninsula. Witness sunrises, learn Ayurvedic wellness, experience yoga and deep rest, explore Corcovado National Park, with its old growth forests - habitat to some of Costa most endangered animals.

Our immersion is produced by Amanda Trevelino, CIAYT, ERYT500 who offers a decade of experience guiding international retreats and transformative yoga. Its curriculum is approved by Yoga Alliance for 20 continuing education hours.

Awaken each day to “pure life.” Pura Vida is a state of mind and a philosophy that arises from embodying a simple lifestyle in harmony with nature.

  • Your investment includes 12 Yogic experiences - morning movement, self-discovery workshops, restful yin + Nidra each afternoon. Ancient practices, like Ayurveda and Pranayama enhance clarity and reconnect us to our essential bliss. Yoga Nidra, or “conscious sleep,” facilitates subconscious re-patterning, deep rest, transformation and renewal.

  • Three meals daily are planned by Functional Medicine Nutritionist and Ayurvedic Practitioner Jennifer Millar. Your health resest includes delicious, nutrient dense, local fare that is celiac-friendly, gluten-free, and free of refined sugars. Each dining experience respects vegetarian, vegan, and dairy free choices.

  • Optional daily adventures are curated for you. Opt in to exploring wildlife in remote Corcovado park. Go boating with a marine biologist, kayak through mangroves, explore beaches by horseback, try waterfall rappelling. Or simply relax at the beach or journal by the salt water pool.

  • Massage and self-care services are offered in a climate-controlled, soul-soothing space just a short stroll away from the rhythmic energy of nearby surf. Additionally, take unstructured personal time to rest, reflect, renew, swim, explore, journal or just BE. JOMO (joy of missing out) is encouraged here!

  • This was a totally immersive yoga retreat. The thought that went into the planning of the five elements was not only present in our practices, but they transcended into our excursions. When it was time to return home, I could feel the family we became. I leave liberated with a much deeper self-awareness of why I’m fearful. I am forever grateful for this incredible mind & spirit changing experience.

Amanda has a gift of cultivating connections while creating space for others to co-create with her! She’s truly a special being and I highly recommend any event/retreat offerings from Santosha! Thank you for such an incredible experience."

    Sat Nam ~ Leslie, IMMERSE Greece 2023

  • I went on my first yoga retreat to Costa Rica. I barely knew anyone who was going, but Amanda and Julie made sure I was welcome and comfortable. I left with 15 new friends and the memories of a lifetime. Yoga twice a day was extremely nice for me, even though I'm new to yoga. The excursions that were offered were private for the group and absolutely amazing. Jennifer and Amanda where their the entire time to make everything seem effortless and simple. If you're looking for a retreat to recharge, refill, and grow...this is the group to do it.
