It's a dream to be here. Come in the heart of the Mexican Caribbean. Fill in your check-in and check-out date below and book your stay. We can only promise you great moments and unforgettable holidays with us.
This is an invitation to both new and dedicated yogis, nature lovers, meditation enthusiasts, yoga teachers, mermaids, travel junkies, and conscious women of all ages. We invite you to join us in the wild jungle of the Nicoya Peninsula and legendary, healing waters of the Pacific Ocean on Playa Guiones in Nosara, Costa Rica.
We are so excited to share with you this rare opportunity to study with Ally Boothroyd and Tiina Kivinen together in person. A time to dive deep into personal sadhana (practice) and sangha (community), to recharge every layer of your Self.
Rooted in our Kripalu lineage, this week-long soulful journey is a groundbreaking immersion for the modern day woman with daily yoga, pranayama, meditation, yoga nidra, connection with nature and earth & ocean ceremony. We invite you to celebrate the expression of life that is here right now, to heal deeply in the cocoon of conscious rest and the tropical surroundings and connect to your whole integrated Self. We invite you to re-enchant yourself with the magic of life and the beauty of the natural world.
We would be honoured if you would join us for one week on the shores of the Pacific Ocean in Nosara, Costa Rica.
Two Weeks Available

She studied under Randal Williams of the Kripalu Centre for Yoga and Health for her 200 hour training.

She is particularly interested in the Eight Limbs of yoga and yoga philosophy and seeks to deepen her students’ yoga practices both on and off the mat.
