Imagine this for a second…

You're waking up in Costa Rica...Fresh air, jungle sounds, no rush

Morning yoga, coffee & nourishing food, plenty of time to journal or just sit and do nothing

Later… maybe an adventure, maybe a nap, maybe a conversation that shifts something for you

That’s the rhythm of the upcoming Costa Rica retreat.

It’s intentional, but not overwhelming.. structured, but still spacious.

Reiki is part of the experience too if you feel called to learn more and get certified in Level 1.

Sometimes it doesn’t take much to shift how you feel.. A few slower breaths, a moment to pause, and maybe a little space to notice what’s here.

Learn how to practice this during the Everyday Mindfulness & Meditation: A Starter Workshop with Karen Frost

This Saturday, April 4 | 1-3pm

We’ll explore simple, accessible practices like breath awareness, guided meditation, and ways to bring mindfulness into your daily life.

There is no experience needed and no pressure to “do it right.” Consider this an opportunity to slow down and reconnect.

Karen brings a thoughtful, grounded approach shaped by 25+ years as a mental health counselor and years of teaching mindfulness and yoga. You’ll leave with tools you can actually use and a better understanding of how meditation can fit into your life.

If you’ve been curious about meditation, or wanting to come back to it in a simple way, this is a really supportive place to begin.

Meet Debbie 🌿

Debbie began her yoga journey over 8 years ago and stepped into teaching after completing both her 200hr and 300hr training at Lotus Pond.

She is especially passionate about making yoga accessible to everyone, which is what led her to offer Chair Yoga, a supportive and welcoming practice for all bodies and abilities.

Debbie brings a thoughtful and well-rounded approach to her classes, drawing from trainings in restorative yoga, yin, yoga nidra, vinyasa, and so much more. Debbie is a forever student and is always reading books and taking continuing education to refine her practice and her teachings!

Her intention is to create a space where you feel comfortable, supported, and able to experience the benefits of yoga in a way that works for you.

When Debbie isn't teaching she is most likely enjoying a delicious home cooked meal, spending time with family or friends, or volunteering her time to help someone. She truly lives her life embodying joy, presence and service.

Come experience a Chair Yoga class with Debbie on Thursdays at 11:00am-12:15pm

Meet Cristina 🌿

Cristina’s relationship with yoga began in high school, weaving in and out of her life over the years and always finding its way back during moments when she needed it most.

After the pandemic, she returned to her mat with a deeper intention: to reconnect with her body, reduce stress, and explore what it really means to come home to herself. This time, the practice stuck.

Cristina graduated from the Lotus Pond 200hr Teacher Training in 2022 and is currently continuing her studies in the 300hr program.

Her teaching focuses on helping students feel strong, confident, and supported in their own bodies. She thoughtfully incorporates props and modifications, with the belief that yoga should be accessible and adaptable for every body.

Her intention is to create a space where you feel empowered, capable, and at home within yourself.

You can take a Gentle Yoga class with Cristina on Sundays at 2:00-3:15pm.

She will also be leading a donation based offering on Saturday, April 25 called Desk Yoga Reset. You can learn more on our website under speciale events.

One really cool thing about retreat spaces is how quickly things start to shift when you remove yourself from your daily environment.

When you’re not surrounded by the same routines, expectations, and patterns…
you start to see things more clearly.

This retreat in Costa Rica is designed for that.

Expect to explore:
• Yoga beyond the physical practice
• Breathwork, meditation, and journaling
• How to turn your practice into something meaningful in your everyday life

There’s also space for adventure, rest, connection, and just being.

And you’ll have the opportunity to receive Reiki and even become Reiki Level 1 certified ✨

It’s a full experience, not just a getaway.
