Retreat Testimonials
“Hard to summarize in just a couple of lines! It was an amazing unforgettable experience. The resort was incredible. Massage was the best I've ever had. The food and staff were amazing. The place literally takes your breath away. The yoga could not have been better! It was such an invigorating energizing way to start the day and the most beautiful peaceful way to end each day. I did a catamaran tour. I went to the market one day & I highly recommend that! We went to the beach a couple times and had dinner on the beach. I got a massage and a facial they were amazing! I loved the party with live music the last night, such a wonderful ending to the most amazing retreat! Everything was absolutely perfect!”

"Embarking on this yoga retreat was one of the most rewarding leaps of faith in my life. As a dedicated practitioner and yoga teacher, the retreat was absolutely life-changing for me! Nicole's expertise in every facet of the experience reflects her attention to detail, planning, commitment, and passion for a truly glorious experience. I loved the opportunity to explore multiple beaches, participate in volunteer activities and even take a whale watching excursion where we witnessed more whales and dolphins than I've ever seen in either Mexico or Hawaii. What a thrill, I’m counting the days until I return again."
Juliette Fry, Costa Rica 2024
"One of the best decisions ever! I took a huge leap of faith and went alone to Nicole's yoga retreat in Costa Rica. She is the consummate professional - so organized, knowledgeable, and patient. It was an all-around fantastic experience! I'll never forget doing yoga on a canopy above the jungle, watching and hearing the howler monkeys! I came home feeling wonderful both physically, & mentally - and as an added bonus, made a new bath of forever friends!"
Nicole Samardzija, Costa Rica 2025
“Thank you Nicole for creating such a great yoga retreat experience! Your retreat embodied the perfect blend of serenity and empowerment. Amongst a supportive and friendly community, amazing meals, and beautiful accommodations with stunning views, we discovered our inner strength. Your open-air yoga sessions, particularly morning practices accompanied by howler monkeys at the shala, left a mark on my heart.”
Mary Ann Peters, Costa Rica 2024 & 2025
"Nicole’s Costa Rica yoga retreat was simply wonderful. The setting is spectacular, the meals fresh and delicious, and the accommodations low-key, yet luxurious. The open-air spa is unforgettable, too. It is truly a curated and personalized experience in every way. Nicole is an expert instructor and tailors the yoga to accommodate each person. There is lots of free time and all activities are optional. I brought my runner husband who doesn’t do yoga and he had a fantastic experience, too. This is a vacation from which you will return relaxed and refreshed. I hope you will join me in paradise!! "
