This Costa Rica retreat is led by Katy Appleton, an ex-ballet dancer with over 30 years of experience teaching yoga and running teacher trainings. That background brings a rare mix of discipline, sensitivity and depth, creating a retreat that feels beautifully held and genuinely transformative.
On the retreat, you can expect a thoughtful balance of yoga, breath work, rest and time in nature. Katy’s teaching is grounded and experienced, so guests feel supported whether they want to deepen their practice, reset their energy or simply step away and recharge.
What makes it unique is the combination of high-quality teaching and a deeply personal experience. This is more than a yoga retreat — it is a space shaped by years of expertise, care and understanding, designed to leave you feeling clearer, calmer and more connected.
