A week to reconnect with yourself, your purpose, and an inspiring community of women.
Life moves quickly. This retreat is an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and create space for what matters most.
Nestled in the beauty of Costa Rica, The Next Wave blends movement, adventure, wellness, and meaningful connection into a week designed to leave you feeling grounded, energized, and inspired.
Every experience is thoughtfully curated to help you reconnect, with yourself, with nature, and with an incredible community of women. From movement and mindfulness to ocean adventures, wellness rituals, nourishing meals, and meaningful conversations, each day offers the perfect balance of exploration, restoration, and connection. Whether you’re craving adventure, deep rest, new friendships, or simply time to exhale, this week is designed to meet you exactly where you are.
Each day is intentionally spacious, allowing you to participate as much or as little as you’d like.
Because sometimes the next wave isn’t something you chase, it’s something you step into.
Melissa Joy Schoeller founded Gypset Yoga after five years of guest teaching yoga classes at a dozen tropical resorts around the world.As a guest teacher, she quickly saw that travel gave people the opportunity open themselves. Yoga and wellness elevated a vacation into a transformative experience, and to appreciate the beauty within all things from a centered and grounded perspective. After organizing several retreats on her own for seven years, the word of mouth from students inspired her to start Gypset Yoga with Laurel Van Matre.A consummate entrepreneur, Melissa started her first business at the age of 7, making and selling rock people (yes, people made of rocks). She has founded multiple successful businesses, including a spin/yoga studio and a boutique gift store. Both are still going strong.Melissa has taught yoga in a variety of non-traditional settings, including music festivals, brewpubs and corporate on-site.
