Costa Rica Retreat

AmaTierra Retreat & Wellness Center | February 27 – March 5, 2027

Imagine this…

You step off the plane and the warm, fragrant air of Costa Rica wraps around you like a soft embrace. Towering palms sway overhead. A driver greets you with a smile, and as you wind your way into the lush green mountains of Turrubares, the noise of the outside world begins to fade away.

By the time you arrive at AmaTierra, the rainforest is alive with sound—the chorus of cicadas, the chatter of birds, the rustle of leaves in the breeze. The horizon stretches endlessly before you, painted in shades of emerald and gold. You exhale, and for the first time in a long while… you feel yourself slow down.

🌺 A Week for Your Soul

Over six unforgettable days and five dreamy nights, you’ll be nourished in every sense:

Savor fresh, locally grown meals bursting with color and flavor—ripe papayas, plantains, herbs from the garden, Costa Rican coffee brewed just for you.
Melt into stillness with a 1-hour massage as skilled hands ease away tension you didn’t even know you were holding.
Wander the shoreline of Jaco Beach, where scarlet macaws flash red against the canopy and your footsteps crunch along forest trails before spilling out onto the sand at a pristine beach.
Rest in the quiet of your hillside room, a sanctuary where the night air is cool, the stars brilliant, and the hum of the jungle becomes your lullaby.

This isn’t just a vacation—it’s a chance to return to yourself.

This Retreat Is For

The woman who wants to put herself first.

Maybe you’ve been moving through life giving to everyone else—your family, your career, your community—this is your moment to pause, breathe, and receive.

Maybe you’re in a new season of life. Your body feels different than it used to, and the workouts that once energized you now leave you depleted. You want to feel strong, vibrant, and at ease in your body without having to “push through” or punish yourself.

This retreat is for you if:
✨ You’re craving a reset that nourishes your body and soul.
✨ You’re curious about yoga that meets you where you are, honoring your body with compassion and strength.
✨ You want to feel more energized, balanced, and at peace.
✨ You long for community—a circle of like-minded women who understand what it means to be in transition and still shine brightly.
✨ You’re ready for adventure: to explore the beauty of Costa Rica while also reconnecting with yourself.

You don’t need to be “flexible enough” or have years of yoga experience. You don’t need to fit into a certain size or shape. This retreat is designed for women just like you—women who are ready to embrace their changing bodies, open their hearts, and step into a more radiant, joyful version of themselves.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to finally say “yes” to yourself… this is it.

A Transformational Experience

Imagine stepping onto your mat as the first light of morning stretches across the Costa Rican coastline. The soft rhythm of the waves becomes your soundtrack, the ocean breeze dances across your skin, and with your very first inhale, you can already feel something shift.

Each yoga class during this retreat is intentionally designed by Cyndy Sotomayor to meet you exactly where you are — physically, emotionally, and energetically. You’ll move in harmony with nature, guided by mindful sequencing that blends strength, softness, and soul.

By week’s end, you’ll notice the shift: your body feels lighter, your mind clearer, your heart more open. You’ll move through each day with ease and confidence, feeling more like yourself than you have in years.

These yoga practices are not about perfection — they’re about presence. They’re a sacred pause, a chance to rediscover the joy of simply being.

Come as you are. Leave renewed, rebalanced, and reconnected — with nature, with your breath, and with the woman you are becoming.

The Location:
Ama Tierra Retreat & Wellness Center

Nestled in the Costa Rican mountains, Ama Tierra is a boutique retreat center surrounded by nature. Relax in the saltwater pool, unwind on the open-air yoga deck with panoramic views, and connect deeply with yourself in a tranquil setting designed for renewal.

Tucked away on eight lush acres in the heart of Costa Rica’s mountains, just an hour from San José and the Central Pacific beaches, AmaTierra offers a perfect blend of seclusion and connection. Here, you’ll find space to breathe, to rest deeply, and to rediscover your natural rhythm.

Your days can be as peaceful or adventurous as you wish—begin with yoga overlooking the treetops, then explore nearby beaches, chase waterfalls, or wander through the mystical trails of Carara National Park. For those craving a little thrill, zip-line through the jungle canopy or take a snorkeling trip to the crystalline waters of Tortuga Island.

At 2,000 feet above sea level, the air here feels pure and light. With year-round temperatures between 62–84°F (17–29°C), every day feels like the perfect day to simply be.
