This retreat is a solo retreat. Meaning it is just for 1 person at a time. The option for a couple or two friends is also available.
Ayurveda & Yoga are holistic forms of wellness. During our week together you will feel educated, empowered, and LIBERATED by this deep dive toward healing. This is a time to fully NOURISH your body, mind, and soul. Let the mind rest and the body and soul rejuvenate. Turn your mind inwards and allow yourself to be fully in the present moment.
Meals will be provided if you choose to go for the kitchari cleanse. Kitchari is a combination of rice and mung beans with veggies and Ayurvedic spices. Meal times will be at your own leisure and all food allergies can be accommodated. It is absolutely delicious and satisfying and you will feel full energy and satiation throughout the week. Ayurveda cleansing is all about giving your body nourishment. Often times cleanses are seen as a way to strip the body, deplete the body but life is plenty depleting. Allow this to be a week of giving to yourself, nourishing yourself and making sure all of your needs are met.
Ayurveda brings us back to nature, it reminds us of the natural elements; earth, water, fire, air, and ether. These elements live inside of us as well as within everything around us. Discovering how to keep these elements in balance is the key to feeling our best every day, being strong in our health, and being clear within our mental state.
Upon arrival, you will have an arrival dinner and orientation. The days to follow will include morning yoga, pranayama, and meditation. Hatha-style Yoga for beginners or intermediate yogis. Each day you will receive 1 Ayurvedic oil treatment, known as Abyhanga. This treatment is 1 hour and works to assist the natural process of detoxification.
What I truly love about Ayurveda is that it does not simply look at the physical. It is believed that all dis-ease begins in the digestive system and the greatest way to maintain our vitality is to annually cleanse our digestive tract. However, Ayurveda recognizes we are not only digesting the food we eat. We are digesting the conversations we have, the relationships we hold, and our everyday experiences. Mind-blowing stuff right!? Every experience we have needs to be digested through our mind and body!
Each day you will have free time to enjoy the area and relax as you wish. The surrounding area has opportunities to explore waterfalls, nearby beaches, shops, and national parks. Together we will explore hidden gems and share a waterfall adventure day!
Summary & Details
What makes this Retreat Special?
Ayurveda is a feminine form of medicine. Masculine medicine looks at "whats wrong? Lets fix it".
Feminine medicine looks at everything that is going on in our lives, what was happening when imbalance began, who are we, what is our lifestyle?
Think of women catching up or getting into a deep conversation - we want to know all the details!
During our time together you will undergo a 6 Day Panchakarma - Ayurvedic Detox. Recieve 5 medicinal oil treatments to soften the tissues and remove Ama (toxins).
On the final day (Day 6) you will drink oil to cleanse the full digestive tract and release all the toxins, leaving you with a profound sense of mental clarity, lightness to the body and a closer connection to self.
During your stay, you will undergo an Ayurvedic cleanse known as Virechana.
Each day you will recieve a detox massage with medicinal oils after morning yoga and before lunch.
After lunch, you will have free time to enjoy the beach, relax or go on additional excursions.
Your energy levels will not be compromised during this cleanse and you will have full energy to enjoy the area.

What people are saying…
This week was such an incredible introduction to rebalancing my dosha.
Kayla made the whole week feel like such a warm welcome to discover how to truly nourish my own body. The daily sessions were amazing and truly felt like the traditional way this ancient wisdom was passed down. Kayla shares her wisdom with passion and heart. Any questions I had, she welcomed and answered fully while following up with more resources. I never wanted it to end!

Easy Space to Open Up
I really enjoyed the experience and the journey to healing and detox provided by Kayla!
She is very passionate and knowledgeable, she is also a great listener and I felt very comfortable sharing and opening up to her.
The tools provided were very helpful and the kitchari is amazing!
Lots of yummy flavors that had my body feeling great. Loved the morning yoga classes in the jungle, and I would definitely recommend this to others!
Sylvia & Adam, 39
I had a nice experience with the Ayurvedic Detox - the massage was pleasant,
The detox day itself was chill, the Kitchari was delicious and Kayla was always lovely and smiling. She is clearly knowledgeable and educated in the field, and apart from the massage itself she was sharing some useful tips and information with me that truly helped me! She also had a great way of sharing Costa Rica and we saw so many sloths on the river!

A wonderful retreat in a lovely setting on the Caribbean in Costa Rica
I wanted to use my vacation in Costa Rica to go on a retreat and focus on my wellbeing. I liked everything about it. It fit my needs perfectly and both the time and location were just right.
I learned something about how Ayurvedic practices and ate food that helped my digestion. I left feeling lighter and healthier.
Kayla is a gifted teacher and works with you. She made the experience easy and pleasant.

Kayla was such a great host and now friend!
I felt with her I had an authentic experience and feel for Puerto Viejo. She guided me and checked in, always keeping communication open. While we spent a lot of time together, I also had time to myself. She’s such a beautiful soul and I am so glad we crossed paths. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. Post cleanse day I felt super light and clear visioned.
Giselle, 26
I wanted to detach from my busy life and reconnect with myself and nature.
I was interested in Ayurveda and yoga to help naturally heal and connect with the source.
I am peaceful and energized, and I’m already incorporating Ayurveda practices into my life to help me achieve balance.
Kayla is very kind, thoughtful, and a great teacher. She was patient and understanding of my needs, making my experience so insightful and fun!
