Imagine a full week dedicated to dancing, yoga, laughing, connecting and fueling your spirit in our incredible nature paradise. Shake Your Soul is a dynamic somatic movement practice that energizes your body, relaxes your nervous system, and awakens your soul through a dance repertoire set to world music. Fun, funky, freeing, meditative, graceful, and sweaty, it invites you to dance from within and be in community.
We will dance each morning in our beautiful nature-immersed shalas and then enjoy delicious breakfast in the open-air restaurant.
Midday free time means lounging by the pool, enjoying the resort amenities, or exploring around town. In the late afternoon we gather again for a gentle yoga class to restore your body after the heat of the day. Then it’s time for the beach- an ocean swim and a gorgeous sunset. Back at the resort we enjoy dinner and social time until you’re ready to turn in, get some rest and do it all over again! Luxurious relaxation, energizing movement, new friends and lots of fun…. This is our Shake Your Soul + Yoga Retreat. Can you see yourself here??
Wellness retreats are my passion- I have hosted over 20 retreats in Nosara and worldwide. It is always my intention to offer experiences where you can step away from daily routines to reconnect with your light and remember who you truly are.
​I am honored to hold this space again and again, sharing with others what has been so transformative in my own life. I live most of the year here in Nosara with my son, Shay. It is an extremely special place that I love to share.
​I’m here to help with any questions that you have!
Katy’s enthusiasm for expressive dance began over 25 years ago when she wandered into a Nia class in Boulder, Colorado, rediscovering her childhood love of dance. Over the years, she’s taught Nia, Zumba and Shake Your Soul, and currently trains new dance teachers through the Leven Institute for Expressive Movement. In her Shake Your Soul classes, Katy guides and encourages participants to connect to the music and dance in ways that feel organic and free in their bodies.
A frequent visitor to Costa Rica, Katy has traveled extensively in Latin America and Spain, taking annual trips to soak up the sunshine, brush up on her Spanish language skills, and add to her repertoire of moves and music.
