Mystica facilitates a powerful and magical environment that helps you to connect with Nature, with yourself, and with the Source of All in order to return to unity and oneness.

Mystica is proud to host many beautiful and powerful Yoga & Wellness Retreats in Costa Rica. Located in the heart of Costa Rica, overlooking the majestic Lake Arenal and Arenal Volcano, Mystica is located in the midst of a vortex of energy that deeply supports personal growth, transformation, and inspiration. All of our Costa Rica yoga & wellness retreats are customized based on leaders’ preferences, often combining Yoga and Transformation with adventure and enjoyment of the luscious beauty of Mother Nature through waterfalls, hot springs, and much more.

One of Mystica’s jewels is ‘La Esencia’, our Yoga Sanctuary nestled in the forest by a flowing river. Our spacious, covered, wooden platform embraced by the forest provides an unforgettable, natural ambiance for Yoga and meditation practice, and offers an ideal space for Costa Rica yoga & wellness retreats and yoga teacher training. We also have a refreshing dipping pool made of river stones with a waterfall, a detoxifying infrared sauna, a tree-top wellness space for Massage and Reiki, and a special Mystic Star Labyrinth for walking meditation.

Take sacred time away from the busy-ness of everyday life to relax, restore, and rejuvenate yourself in one of our wonderful retreats. We look forward to sharing the Beauty and Magic of Mystica during your yoga retreat in Costa Rica!

2026 Retreats

Divine Feminine Women’s Retreat
Leaders: Jacqueline Morton, Nicole Alexander & Lily Nakagawa

Divine Feminine Women's Retreat

The Divine Feminine Retreat is an 8-day immersive experience for women seeking deeper connection and inner balance. Set within Mystica’s lush natural sanctuary, it is an invitation to slow down, regulate your nervous system, and return to harmony within yourself. Rooted in the wisdom of the Divine Feminine, this gathering is a reminder that power does not have to be forceful, that strength can be soft, and that beauty and embodiment are not luxuries but medicine.

So many women with full lives and meaningful responsibilities carry a quiet longing beneath it all — to soften, to be witnessed, and to reconnect with something intuitive within themselves. Over time, the pace of achieving, caregiving, and holding it all together can shift the nervous system into survival mode, leaving little space for self-love, pleasure, creativity, and restoration. This week is an invitation to step out of urgency and into Divine Feminine presence, gently guided to slow your breath, move with intention, open your heart in sisterhood, and reconnect with the part of you that knows how to receive.

Held within a community of women committed to conscious growth, you’ll be supported through daily yoga and movement, sacred sister circles, guided meditation, somatic breathwork, and sound healing, woven together with nature-immersed activities including a waterfall hike and horse experience. This retreat is not about fixing yourself — it is about remembering who you are beneath the conditioning: soft, powerful, intuitive, and whole. Your stay includes 7 nights of accommodations, nourishing meals, and airport transport to and from the venue.

Harmonize, A Costa Rican Reset
Leader: Allie Chisolm-Smith

Harmonize, A Costa Rican Reset

This is Costa Rica at its most restorative – where time slows, nature leads, and your nervous system finally gets a chance to exhale. Set high above Lake Arenal with front-row views of the volcano, Harmonize is an invitation to step out of constant motion and into a more natural rhythm.

Each day unfolds with intention: transformative yoga, jungle hikes, waterfalls and hot springs, and an adventurous beach day that reminds you how good it feels to play again. There’s space to move, space to rest, and space to simply be.

This retreat isn’t about fixing yourself or pushing for change. Instead, it’s about receiving – steady sensory nourishment, fewer decisions, and a gentler pace that allows your body and mind to shift out of chronic activation and into real rest. Through rhythm, repetition, and nature-based experiences, your nervous system remembers what safety feels like.

You’ll return home with a calmer baseline, practical tools for everyday regulation, and a clearer understanding of how to support your wellbeing long after the volcano fades from view.

If you’re craving rest that truly restores — not just distracts — this is your retreat.

Inward Retreat
Leader: Kaylan Wojcik

Inward Retreat

Experience the MAGIC of COSTA RICA. Embark on a week of relaxation, deep devotion & PURA VIDA! Your home base during this inward escape will be Mystica Lodge: a paradise of pure beauty and healing energy. Awaken each morning and enjoy Mystica’s Yoga Sanctuary in the HEART of the JUNGLE. Surrounded by the sounds of the River & Wildlife, Kaylan will host daily yoga, gentle movement, and meditation practices.

This trip is designed with YOU in mind. Feel free to spend free time walking the unique grounds of Mystica, or relax in one of many hammocks and other gathering areas overlooking the beautiful lake and Arenal volcano. Anyone seeking more traditional explorations will find just that in one of our day trips to the town of La Fortuna, volcanic hot springs, Viento Fresco waterfall hike & swim, and private sunset boat cruise on Lake Arenal.

This will be an experience where the meaning is never lost and in more times, in fact: found.

The Adventure Within
Leader: Amanda Cooley

The Adventure Within

Where movement meets meaning

There’s a part of you that’s craving more. More space. More connection. More feeling alive in your own life.

Think slow, intentional mornings… gentle movement… jungle air… and afternoons that invite exploration, play, and a sense of freedom you may not have felt in a while.

But beyond the yoga, the hikes, and the beautiful surroundings, this retreat is about what happens within you. It’s about:

Reconnecting to your body
Softening out of the constant doing
Sharing space with like-minded humans
And remembering who you are underneath it all

There’s no pressure to be anything other than yourself here. No rigid schedules. No expectations. Just space to breathe, move, reflect, and be supported.

Because the most meaningful journeys don’t take us farther away, they bring us closer to ourselves.

If you’ve been craving a reset… a spark… or simply a moment to come back home to yourself — this is your invitation.
