THREE DESTINATIONS. ONE INTENTIONAL JOURNEY.
​
POWER · ARENAL
We begin beneath one of Costa Rica's most iconic landscapes: Arenal Volcano.
​
Our days here blend yoga and adventure with enough breathing room to actually enjoy where we are.
​
SUP Yoga on Lake Arenal
Rainforest exploration
Waterfalls & wildlife
Volcanic hot springs
Yoga & meditation
Pool time and space to do absolutely nothing
​
This is where we wake up our sense of curiosity, play and possibility.
TRANSFORMATION · PACUARE
Then we head into the rainforest... and a little farther outside our comfort zones.
We'll raft into the remote Pacuare rainforest for two nights surrounded by jungle, river and wildlife.
There will be opportunities for adventure, exploration and moments that ask us to trust ourselves and each other a little more.
​
Then we'll raft our way back out through the spectacular Pacuare River canyon.
​
This is the heart of Power & Peace:
​
Courage. Trust. Surrender. Flow.
You don't need to be fearless.
You just need to be willing to try.
PEACE · THE CENTRAL VALLEY
After the river, we change gears completely.
​
Our final two nights are devoted to restoration at a private wellness retreat in Costa Rica's lush Central Valley.
​​
Think:
Pool. Jacuzzi. Sauna. Steam. Cold plunge. Massage. Slow yoga. Beautiful food. Naps. Conversation.
​
No sightseeing checklist.
No need to accomplish anything.
Just the luxury of having nowhere else you need to be.
​
We'll finish with a closing Power & Peace practice and celebration dinner together.
Because rest isn't the opposite of adventure. It's part of it.
You came all the way to Costa Rica.
Let's have an adventure.
Power & Peace is an intimate, 8-day Costa Rican adventure retreat for women who want more than a week beside the pool.
​
We'll move. We'll explore. We'll challenge ourselves. We'll practice yoga in extraordinary places. We'll eat well, laugh often, get wet, probably get muddy... and leave plenty of room to simply be.
Because wellness doesn't have to mean sitting still.
And adventure doesn't have to mean running yourself ragged.
There is power in challenging yourself.
There is peace in letting go.
And there is something pretty incredible about experiencing both.
THIS RETREAT MAY BE FOR YOU IF...
You're the woman who still gets excited when someone says:
“Want to try something?”
​
You enjoy being active and outdoors. You love water, nature and travel. You appreciate yoga, but you don't need your vacation to revolve around doing three classes a day.
You'd rather experience a destination than simply see it.
You want to challenge yourself—but you also know the joy of a hot shower, a massage, a fabulous meal and a well-earned glass of wine afterward.
Maybe you're 42.
Maybe you're 57.
Maybe you're 68 and routinely leaving everyone else in your wake.
We're much more interested in your curiosity than your birth year.
You don't need to be an advanced yogi.
You don't need to be an expert paddler.
You don't need to be the bravest person in the room.
You just need to be willing to show up for the adventure.
EXPERIENCE COSTA RICA, DON'T JUST VISIT IT.
Costa Rica isn't the backdrop for this retreat.
It's part of the experience.
We'll paddle its waters, walk through its rainforest, learn from local guides, eat food inspired by where we are, soak in water warmed by its volcanic landscape and follow one of its legendary rivers through the jungle.
We'll leave space to notice things.
To ask questions.
To try something unfamiliar.
To meet people.
To look up.
​
Adventure with purpose. Connection with place.
THE YOGA
Yoga is woven through Power & Peace rather than packed into every available hour.
​
Some practices will be energizing. Some restorative. Some will happen on a mat. One very memorable one will happen on a paddleboard.
​
And some of the most meaningful yoga may happen nowhere near a yoga mat.
​
The teachings will explore ideas like power and peace, courage, presence, surrender, transformation, balance and sangha and community.
​
Because yoga isn't something we stop practicing when we roll up the mat.
​
We take it with us into the adventure.

Hey! I'm Emily!
YOUR RETREAT LEADER
​​
​
​​​I'm a yoga teacher, SUP Yoga instructor, author of Guiding Yoga, outdoor adventurer and firm believer that some of life's best lessons happen when we're willing to get a little uncomfortable.
​
My teaching has always been about more than poses. Yoga gives us tools for navigating real life with more awareness, courage, humor and grace.
​
Power & Peace brings those lessons out of the studio and into Costa Rica.
​
We'll practice together, certainly. But we'll also paddle, hike, raft, explore, rest, eat, laugh and probably surprise ourselves.
​
I created the kind of retreat I'd want to go on.
​
I hope you'll come adventure with me.
A LITTLE WILD. A LITTLE ZEN.
COMPLETELY UNFORGETTABLE.
