Serenity X. Costa Rica Immersion
Punta Uva, Costa Rica
Step off the beaten path into a jungle-beach paradise where lush rainforest meets pristine shore. Finding Serenity in Costa Rica invites you to unplug, play, and reconnect with yourself in a setting that blends jungle serenity and ocean magic. Wake up to the sounds of tropical birds and howler monkeys, flow through a gentle morning yoga practice by the sea, then savor local coffee as the day’s adventure unfolds.
Each day strikes the perfect balance of activity and rest. Explore hidden waterfalls and cacao farms deep in the rainforest, kayak along jungle rivers spotting sloths and monkeys, or snorkel vibrant coral reefs on a Caribbean boat tour. Embrace cultural immersion with salsa dance lessons, a hands-on Caribbean cooking class, and evenings of ecstatic dance or live Calypso music under the stars. Yet there’s plenty of time to relax—linger over fresh tropical meals, stroll the quiet golden beaches, or sway in a hammock amid the palms. This experiential retreat is all about playful exploration and authentic connection: join group excursions or follow your curiosity with self-guided wanderings in the safe, welcoming environment of Punta Uva.
By week’s end, you’ll not only have unforgettable memories of adventure, sunsets, and new friendships around the bonfire, but also a deeper sense of personal renewal. This journey is about more than travel—it’s a chance to rediscover your inner joy and serenity through nature, culture, and movement. Come find your serenity in Costa Rica’s off-the-grid paradise—an adventure that nourishes the soul and ignites the spirit awaits you.

MEET OUR RETREAT HOSTS
BILLIE WIANT
500-RYT, Vinyasa, Gentle,
Yin & Yoga Nidra
Billie received her first yoga class as a Valentine’s Day gift in 2018, and the gift that yoga gave back is one she loves to share with everyone. A lifelong hair stylist, Billie was looking for a new direction that still allowed her to connect with others, and yoga provided that opportunity. Starting as a student at Serenity Yoga, she soon got her friends, family, and husband to attend classes as well. Her passion for yoga led her to become a teacher, and she is now the proud owner of Serenity Yoga Studio.
Billie finds the meditative aspects of yoga and longer holds, like those in Yin Yoga, to be particularly transformative.
"In my class, you will find a safe place to let go, a smiling face, a non-judgmental teaching style, and a warm environment. Yoga is freedom and acceptance. My goal is to help others find this space so they can move their bodies through life with compassion and joy. Welcome to your mat. Welcome home." – Billie
