True Blue, Costa Rica

May 17 - 23, 2026

Escape to Costa Rica for 6 nights and 7 days of movement, mindfulness, and pure refreshment. Set in one of the world’s Blue Zones, this retreat invites you to step into a lifestyle where people thrive well into their 90s and beyond - moving naturally throughout the day, enjoying simple, nourishing meals, spending time in nature, and living each day with purpose and connection.

Here, you’ll do the same: stretch, breathe, and carve out moments for yourself while soaking in a tropical paradise that makes slowing down feel effortless. Whether you’re curious about the secrets to a long, vibrant life or simply craving a getaway that leaves you feeling energized, inspired, and a little lighter at heart, this retreat blends mindful living with rejuvenation that lingers long after you leave.

Accommodations:

Our home for the week, Azul Hotel & Retreat, sits on the shores of Playa Azul in Costa Rica’s Guanacaste region - one of the world’s seven Blue Zones. The resort’s beachfront location means you’ll hear the ocean with every sunrise and feel the gentle breeze as you move about your day.

Stretch into presence, and align with your body in the open-air yoga shala, where every session becomes a sensory practice. The space is designed to support every movement - whether flowing, lengthening, or building strength - helping you reconnect with your body while soaking in the natural energy around you. For those seeking additional ways to move, the fully equipped gym offers another option to awaken, tone, and maintain balance throughout the day.

Rooms at Azul are thoughtfully designed to suit every traveler. From private rooms to shared suites and family - style options, there’s a perfect space for everyone to rest fully, wake refreshed, and return to your practice or daily adventures with clarity and calm.

Step outside, and the resort offers a lush playground for rejuvenation: stroll through gardens shaded by swaying palms, lounge in hammocks or daybeds, take a dip in the pool or jacuzzi, or explore the beach with exclusive access to pristine sand and surf. Two on-site restaurants, a bar, and lounge areas serve nourishing meals while keeping you close to the natural beauty around you. Every corner of Azul encourages connection - to yourself, the ocean, the jungle, and the enduring wisdom of a Blue Zone lifestyle - making it the perfect place to just be.

The Week at a Glance:

Your Costa Rican adventure kicks off the moment you arrive. You’ll be transported to your tropical home at a beachfront resort along the Pacific coast, where the waves, lush jungle, and ocean breeze set the tone for a week full of movement, exploration, and mindful living. That first evening, settle in and connect with your fellow travelers at a relaxed welcome gathering, where we’ll share the retreat’s focus on vitality, longevity, and intentional living - inspired by the habits of long-living Blue Zone communities and timeless yogic philosophy.

Each morning, wake up your body and mind with yoga and movement classes in the open-air shala overlooking the ocean. These sessions mix breathwork, mindfulness, and longevity-focused exercises designed to energize, increase mobility, and cultivate awareness. On select days, you’ll have the option to continue the practice with an additional evening class, giving you even more ways to move and connect with your body.

Afternoons invite curiosity and adventure: cruise through the jungle on an ATV tour, spot wildlife on a guided nature excursion, whip up something delicious in a hands-on cooking class featuring plant-forward, Blue Zone-inspired foods, or join a workshop exploring practical strategies for mindful living, balance, and well-being. Every activity is designed to give you a taste of long-living cultures and practices rooted in intentional, conscious living.

As the week unfolds, you’ll be encouraged to bring the principles of gratitude, simplicity, and contentment into both your movement and daily experiences. Personal time is yours to enjoy at your pace - horseback riding along tropical trails, zip-lining through the canopy, kayaking, surfing, snorkeling, or wandering nearby beaches and villages. Most days include two thoughtfully prepared meals, letting you savor the vibrant flavors of the region while nourishing your body.

The retreat wraps up with a final yoga session and a celebratory dinner, honoring the connections made, adventures shared, and inspiration gained from a week immersed in Costa Rica’s natural beauty. You’ll leave with a revitalized body, a clearer mind, and simple, practical tools to carry the principles of conscious, balanced living into your everyday life - plus a few stories, memories, and maybe even a little sand in your shoes.
