Seven days of practice between jungle and ocean. Morning flow, afternoon acro and a handstand lab that finally makes it click — for every level.
No phones at the shala. No rush to be anywhere. Just the sound of the ocean, your breath, and a group that has your back — literally.
Each day builds on the last. By day seven, most beginners hold their first free handstand — and fly in their first acro pose.
Vinyasa at sunrise, yin at sunset. Mobility and strength for everything that comes after.
Base, fly, spot. Trust-building partner work that turns strangers into friends by Wednesday.
A step-by-step method: wrists, line, balance, then freestanding. Filmed and reviewed daily.
Our handstand lab has taken 600+ students from “never” to freestanding. Keep scrolling — it clicks.
Twenty minutes of silence on the sand while the sky turns pink.
A 90-minute vinyasa in the open-air shala, built around the day’s theme.
Tropical fruit, smoothie bowls, gallo pinto and eggs from the farm next door.
Partner work in small groups of three: base, flyer and spotter, rotating every round.
Surf, nap by the pool, a massage, or a waterfall hike with our local guide.
Drills, filmed attempts and one-on-one feedback. Your progress tracked all week.
Long, slow holds on the beach as the sun drops into the Pacific.
Singing bowls, blankets and the jungle at night. Most people are asleep by the end.
Seven nights all-inclusive: three plant-forward meals a day, every class, airport shuttle and one massage.
Three teachers for a maximum of 18 students — so everyone gets real feedback, every day.
Born in San José, trained in Mysore. Teaching slow, strong vinyasa for 12 years.
Former circus performer from Montréal. Makes flying feel safe for first-timers.
Ex-gymnast and physio. Her wrist-first method has zero injuries in six years.
We keep groups to 18. Pick a week, tell us about your practice, and we’ll confirm within 48 hours.
“I’d never been upside down in my life. On day six I held a handstand for eight seconds and cried a little.”
Chloé · Québec“Came alone, left with a whole acro family. We already booked next year together.”
Marcus · Toronto“The food, the shala, the sound baths… it’s the most rested I’ve felt in years.”
Lucía · Ciudad de MéxicoNo. Half of our guests have never done acro or a handstand. Every class has a beginner track, and the teachers adjust to you.
Tell us in your application. Imani is a physiotherapist and will adapt the handstand work — many guests focus on forearm and headstand variations.
Fly into Liberia (LIR) or San José (SJO). Our shared shuttle picks you up on day one; the drive is about 4 hours with a lunch stop.
Full refund minus the $500 deposit up to 60 days before. After that, you can transfer your spot to a friend or a future retreat.
