personal growth and Expansion Are part of the experience with Thoughtful workshops by Karen Anderson, MS, LMFT, and daily yoga with Amanda Trevelino, CIAYT, ERYT500,

  • Amanda is a yoga therapist and practitioner within the Kripalu and Pranakriya yoga lineage, RYT-500, C-IAYT. She guides yoga on and off the mat with a sense of curiosity and adventure, and feels most closely connected to Oneness through nature. For Amanda, the yogic system and practical philosophy has been a path of personal healing, regulation and ongoing learning that she feels called to share with others.

    She guides students on their path of self-discovery, somatic awareness and inner authority. Amanda is passionate about ancient wisdom traditions including Helenistic Astrology. She loves to travel and has hosted self-discovery retreats in the US, Nepal, Greece and Costa Rica. She first visited the Osa as a volunteer in 2012, and now resides part time in Nosara, Costa Rica. She credits Nosara Yoga Institute for introducing her to the magic of “Self-Awakening Yoga,” Nidra and high-prana yoga in the jungle.

  • Karen Anderson, MS, LMFT, is a licensed clinician who helps people live more relationally awake. With 18+ years supporting individuals and couples, she integrates evidence-based relational skills, trauma care, nervous-system-informed practices, and a mind–body–spirit lens. Alongside her clinical practice, she taught as adjunct faculty at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas from 2010 to 2022, and co-authored UNLV’s Graduate Certificate in Medical Family Therapy during her doctoral work. Karen’s current research examines intersectional privilege awareness and its role in clinician development. Life Wide Awake remains her personal philosophy: live with presence, listen deeply, and re-author what comes next with authenticity, clarity, and compassion

  • 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.

    - Gretchen Delameter “UNTAMED” 2025

  • The retreat offered an ideal balance of nourishing cuisine, relaxation, adventure, customized massages and self-discovery. Whether you’re looking to deepen your yoga practice, reconnect with nature, or simply unwind, this retreat provided the perfect escape.

    - Kim Mahoney “UNTAMED” 2025

  • "Simply magical! Amanda curated an amazing experience… each day having a theme that celebrated the Greek Goddesses! 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.
