​
Johanna & Sophie
This retreat is led by yoga teachers Johanna Sun-wha Lundqvist and Sophie Schäfgen.
Johanna and Sophie will not only guide you through the practices with individual adjustments designed for your needs, but will also teach you the fundamental principles of Ayurveda – the sister science of yoga – where you will learn more about nutrition and lifestyle advices, as well as the usage of essential oils and how to incorporate plants as a natural medicine for physical, mental and emotional well-being.
​
Johanna and Sophie’s goal is for you to not only have an unforgettable and blissful experience in Costa Rica, but to also take something with you home in order to stay healthy and in balance in your every day life.
The Retreat Center
Goddess Garden retreat center offers a healthy vegetarian and Ayurvedic cuisine with breakfast, lunch and dinner is included. Our belief is that a vegetarian diet will help you to further rejuvenate, balance and purify body and mind.
​
During the retreat there will be time for you to relax and to explore on your own – either by the pool to read one of your favorite books, or to take a long walk by the beach where you can enjoy the ocean. During the month of October the ocean is usually peaceful and clear on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, which makes perfect conditions for snorkeling and diving as well. It is also possible to arrange excursions such as horseback riding, zip-lining in the jungle or to visit one of the shamans in the area.
There is also a spa available where you can book a variety of massages, such as Ayurvedic massages, reiki and deep tissue.
Excursions and Room options
Lastly, you will enjoy an excursion with the rest of the group where you will get the chance to discover the magnificent nature of Costa Rica. We will go on a hike together though an incredible natural park in the area. Please note that none of these activities are mandatory, including the yoga classes. This retreat is about listening to your body and to simply enjoy!
