Transform. Transcend. Be.

March 30, 2025 - April 6, 2025

$1999 – $2557

 

Transforming the mind, heart, and soul through grounding meditations, breakthroughs in transformative mindset coaching, and relearning to embrace the body as we are through yoga.

The adventure capital of Central America awaits!! Come join Danielle Cosme of thedragonG.E.M. and Kristine Wilson of Become Your U Yoga on a journey through the beautiful serene landscape in the heart of Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica where we spend our days at Vida Asana School Of Yoga and Eco-Retreat Center immersing ourselves in an abundance of self care rituals to guide us back to our authentic selves.

Let the exploration begin!!!

As we gather everyone at the airport and head on our way, the driver will stop at the famous Tarcoles Bridge, to see crocodiles in their natural habitat, and fresh coconut water will be provided for each guest! Upon arrival, we will have welcome refreshments and light snacks.

Our week will consist of a daily morning grounding meditation either on the beach or in the jungle shala as we anchor our minds, quiet the noise, and tap into our inner wisdom, 2 yoga classes (am/pm), the Power of Mindset Mastermind Workshop with Danielle delving into the art of transformation unleashing limiting beliefs, rewriting your narrative, and stepping into your full potential as well as a Somatic Movement Workshop with Kristine exploring neuromuscular patterns, releasing tension, and rediscovering your body’s innate wisdom. It’s not just about movement; it’s about reclaiming your soul’s temple. Under a star-studded sky, we feast on a nourishing meal as the ocean’s rhythm sets the backdrop, and laughter dances in the salty breeze while we enjoy dinner on the beach, sound healing/cacao ceremony, LIVE Kirtan (yoga music), and sangria night raising our glasses to life, to transformation, and to the symphony of souls gathered around. We even have time to lounge by the pool, hammock, or swings as we embody nature and the harmonious sounds in the beautiful jungle. Additional services and excursions will be available to sign up and attend.

Location:

Vida Asana is conveniently located 90 minutes from San Jose Airport (SJO), just outside of Jacó in beautiful Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica. Situated between the lush tropical beauty of the jungle and world-famous beaches of Playa Hermosa, our location provides easy access to a variety of activities, excursions, restaurants, and shopping, yet offers a peaceful jungle setting to repose. Vida Asana is deeply committed to community involvement and support. While engaging in many activities that support and unite the community at large, we directly support Waves of Hope, an organization affiliated with the 501c Yoga 4 Bee. Waves of hope was created out of a vision to provide therapeutic yoga retreats to parents who have lost a child.

Dining:

Included in your stay are three meals daily during your retreat, a welcome snack upon arrival, and one sangria night. Our food at Vida Asana was created with a healthy lifestyle as the inspiration. Every menu item is created using whole, and as often as possible, organic ingredients. Our food is gluten free, and primarily plant-based, with eggs and yogurt at breakfast, and fish served at dinner every second night. All allergies or dietary needs are easily accommodated. Additionally, we are continuing to install more permaculture gardens and edible landscaping to increase our onsite organic harvest.

Teachers

Danielle Cosme

Transformative Mindset Coach |  Meditation/Yoga Teacher | Sound Practitioner About Me I am Danielle, a dedicated practitioner of yoga, a healer, and a lifelong seeker of growth and transformation. My journey has been one of self-discovery, resilience, and empowerment. From Pain to Healing: A Yoga Odyssey For over a decade, I’ve woven yoga into the fabric of my life—both on and off the mat. Life’s challenges prompted me to pause and reflect: Did I want to remain in pain and limitation, or could I find a path to healing? The answer was clear—I returned to yoga. Through consistent practice, I shed 35 pounds physically, but the transformation extended far beyond the physical realm. Emotionally, I found solace and healing for past traumas. Mentally, clarity emerged, and I began to understand the power of mind-body alignment. Teaching Style: A Reflection of Self-Healing As a yoga teacher, my style mirrors my personal journey. I teach with discipline and compassion, emphasizing determination and surrender. When pain threatens to overwhelm, I encourage persistence. Acceptance becomes the gateway to surrender, and through these practices, we transform our lives. Guiding Others: A Purposeful Mission My purpose extends beyond personal growth.
