Event Details

Restore your energy. Reconnect with yourself. Return home with a personalized path forward.

A seven-night small-group retreat blending restorative practices, whole-person health education, guided reflection, and personalized planning for greater energy and vitality.

Come Home to Yourself

Step away from the demands and noise of everyday life and into seven restorative days designed to help you rejuvenate your energy, reconnect with yourself, and create a more sustainable path toward greater vitality.

Set in the lush mountains of Costa Rica’s Central Valley, the Svasta Rejuvenation Retreat offers a balance of rest, gentle movement, meditation, time in nature, nourishing food, community, and spacious time to simply be. Through guided exploration, you’ll gain greater insight into what supports your energy and well-being, along with practical tools you can carry back into daily life.

This is a unique opportunity to slow down, step outside your usual routines, and give your body and mind the space to recover. Through restorative practices and guided reflection, you’ll explore what restores you, what may be depleting you, and what helps you feel most grounded, capable, and fully yourself.

Throughout the week, you will be introduced to the principles of the Svasta Energy Reset book, exploring how stress and recovery, daily rhythms, nourishment, movement, mindset, and the way we structure our lives can influence our energy, resilience, and capacity to live more fully.
You will also be guided in creating your own Energy Renewal Blueprint, a personalized framework that brings together what you discover during the retreat and helps you translate those insights into a more supportive way of living.

You will leave Costa Rica not only feeling rested and renewed, but with greater clarity about how to support your energy, well-being, and the life you want to return to.

You’ll return with…

Deeper understanding of what restores versus depletes your energy
Practical tools for nervous-system regulation and recovery
Greater clarity around rhythms, habits, and priorities
A personalized Energy Renewal Blueprint
Renewed connection with yourself and others
A realistic path for maintaining what you gained after returning home.

Meet Your Retreat Guide

Hi, I’m Diana.

For over 20 years, I’ve led retreats around the world, including Mexico, Costa Rica, Hawaii, Thailand, and Cambodia. There’s a very special feeling that comes from immersing yourself in a week of beautiful nature, great healthy food, yoga, meditation, amazing company, and unforgettable adventures. I’ve loved the opportunity to share that with others and create something truly special that feels completely different from everyday life. A space where you can slow down, reconnect with yourself, experience a new place, and share meaningful time with a wonderful group of people.

My goal is to create an immersive experience with the right balance of introspection, community, adventure, and exploration, where the escape actually becomes a path back to yourself.

Join me for a week of deep rejuvenation with time for yoga, meditation, reflection, and meaningful conversations, but also beautiful surroundings, great food, laughter, connection, and the freedom to simply enjoy where you are.

The Svasta Rejuvenation Retreat brings together everything I have learned from decades of teaching, coaching, travel, and leading retreats. This special retreat has a deeper focus on restoring energy, building resilience, and helping you return home with something meaningful you can carry into your life. You’ll leave Costa Rica feeling restored, inspired, connected, and with memories you will carry with you for years to come.

If you're looking for a great place to have a yoga retreat, this is it. The staff is attentive, and the location in the Costa Rican mountains is wonderful.

Our entire experience was a 10/10. The service was top notch. The yoga classes were amazing. Food was great. Rooms were clean, excursions and guides were perfect and the massage therapists are all excellent. I arrived stressed from life and left relaxed with a completely different mindset. If you’re on the fence about visiting, I am here to tell you to go! You won’t regret it!

Easy to get to via Uber, which is easy to book from the airport or nearby town of Alajuela. It's about 20m drive, uphill, from town. Ubers here are quite affordable and abundant. You can also schedule Uber in advance via the app. Excellent wifi reception. I was pleasantly surprised at being able to work in one of multiple delightful locations throughout the grounds. Beautiful, peaceful, green place! The rooms were so-so compared to the photos: the website photographer should win many awards ;-) We stayed in late February and were pleasantly surprised that we didn't encounter a single mosquito the whole week! No roaches or any other unpleasant bugs. If you're sensitive to morning light and noise (loud birds start at around 6am) bring ear plugs (or ask the front desk for some) and eye mask. Bed was comfortable enough, and the pillows are decent. They already have extra blanket in the room. Hair dryer available upon request. Bring a bathing suit for the delightful pool and hot tub! Food was good the whole week. They always had dairy-free and gluten-free options. And can accommodate additional dietary needs if you request in advance. The staff were all very nice and helpful. A peaceful place to spend a few days!

We had an incredible stay at Pura Vida Retreat & Spa. The grounds and gardens are serene, lush, and deeply peaceful, with a beautiful view over the valley. Our nervous systems let out a collective exhale during the week we spent here. The food deserves a special mention - exceptionally tasty, nourishing, and thoughtfully prepared. We were a little worried about maintaining a healthy lifestyle while traveling, but those concerns quickly disappeared. Three times a day, the kitchen team served healthy, fresh, delicate, and wholesome meals. You can request gluten-free and other dietary options. We would happily return for the food alone. We also truly enjoyed yoga with Tamara - she is a sweetheart, with a creative, effective teaching style. I treated myself to massages with both Jenny and Rodrigo, each offering their own unique and wonderful approach. Jenny has a nurturing, deeply healing presence while still being very effective at releasing tension. Rodrigo is a fascia specialist and skillfully unraveled several long-standing imbalances in my body. A big shoutout to José and Martia, who sprinkled daily joy throughout our stay and were incredibly helpful with suggestions and arrangements. While the area around the site is quite secluded, we highly recommend a walk through the coffee plantation across the road. The tours organized through the Pura Vida also offer excellent opportunities to explore Costa Rica’s stunning natural beauty.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Pura Vida. We loved every bit of it—from the scenic views over the valley and the beautiful surrounding nature to the delicious, nourishing meals and the extremely helpful, cheerful staff. José’s warm spirit at the reception and Tamara’s creative yoga classes were two of our daily highlights. We very much look forward to returning to Pura Vida soon!

We took a group of 15 for a spiritual retreat and EVERYONE wants us to return next year. The food was amazing, fresh , healthy & plentiful. Resort was SUPER clean and staff was there to meet our every need. Cocao cermeony was amazing! Trip to Paz Waterfall was well organized and our guide Jerkey was incredible.

One warning for those not used to insects is that if you stay in a tent, be prepared to encounter spiders, grasshoppers, crickets, even cockroaches, and many other insects in the common bathroom at night. You are in a tropical country that’s a biodiversity hotspot after all :) A nice getaway from the city, this resort was quiet (other than the chirping of birds and insects, and the rustling of leaves and lush vegetation), peaceful, and calm. If you stay in a tent, you’ll find yourself falling asleep to the gentle tapping of the rain (if you go during their rainy season) and waking up with the magical sound of birds. The spa treatments were luxurious, at least the one I had that was a whole body exfoliation and polishing + facial that was called “Head to Toe.” The staff were also super friendly and helpful, and being able to speak Spanish, at least a little bit, goes a long way. The front desk staff are fluently in English tho.

From the moment we stepped foot on the grounds, we knew we'd want to return. The resort is absolutely beautiful, I already miss the energy of that place so much!!!! From the layout, to the different room types, the landscaping, and shared spaces...Pura Vida Retreat and Spa exceeded our expectations. And then there were the staff- everyone from the grounds keepers, cleaning staff, dining staff, spa staff and front desk (shoutout to Katya and Jose) were so incredibly welcoming, kind, and supportive each day. We loved our Latin Dancer Instructor, and of course, working with Nicole and Eduardo to plan our retreat was such a joy. Thank you a million for everything you have all done for/with us- we're already locking in our retreat for 2026 and are all excited to return!!
