Chakra Connection Yoga Retreat

THE MAGIC OF COSTA RICA AWAITS YOU!

This 8-day retreat with Laura, will take place just outside of Jacó in beautiful Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica, which is situated between the lush tropical beauty of the Jungle and world-famous beaches!

It will be an experience like no other, guiding you through a sweet & powerful journey that moves you from the ground up, connecting you to self and your inner energy system!

Tapping into one chakra a day, this transformative retreat is designed to empower you through meditation, breath, yoga, movement, play, creativity, sound, community & adventure – taking your experience back into your daily life.

Chakras govern our thoughts, emotions, reaction, patterns, and behaviors – when they are out of alignment, we can experience imbalances. Each chakra is linked to a colour + theme: Safety (red), Creativity (orange), Confidence (yellow), Love (green), Expression (blue), Clarity (indigo), and One-ness (purple).

You will have daily meditation, pranayama (breathing), and yoga linked to the chakra of the day, and by the end of this retreat you will not only feel more rested + rejuvenated but also gained insight, feel empowered + hopefully feel more balanced within these areas of your life.

Let yourself be immersed in the beauty of your surroundings as you ground, reignite passion, revive your well-being, nourish your body, mind + soul, stoke your inner flame, embrace your heart’s longing, and strengthen your intuition. Opening you up to create power within!

When pursuing holistic healing, it’s all about balance, so you will have free time to relax by the pool, hangout in the hammocks, have a spa day, or take a five-minute bike ride to the beach. You can also enjoy optional extra excursions to build onto your adventure: Zip line, Horseback riding & Jungle Spa, surf, stand up paddle boarding, sweat lodge (Sign ups offered first day of retreat.)
