Join Anjuli Mahendra and Alok Rocheleau for the adventure of a lifetime in beautiful Costa Rica!

If you appreciate meaningful connections and breathtaking nature experiences paired with eco-minded design and ethics, this is the retreat for you!

BEflower

We’ve taken special care to host our retreat at an extraordinary center that prioritizes sustainable design in harmony with the environment. Enjoy the vibrancy of the rainforest, while experiencing the biodynamic, regenerative farm at Finca Luna Nueva and the nature-inspired, natural building at Brave Earth.

We’ll immerse in the elements by touring a cacao farm, adventuring to the pristine local waterfall and river, and exploring the thermal baths heated by the geo-thermal activity of the nearby volcano! Take this unique opportunity to experience the power of the elements while deepening your yoga and wellness practice. Limited space, so reserve your spot today!

The Practice

We invite you to join us for this amazing opportunity to study and explore new inner and outer terrain in beautiful Costa Rica! You can expect heart-felt, all-levels morning yoga classes themed with the elements to revitalize the body and provide space for reflection and nourishment.

You will come away with powerful insights and new somatic tools to balance your body that you can take back home and incorporate into your practice or daily routine. To support your integration upon returning home, we will provide you with a series of videos that will allow you to seamlessly continue the practice.

Afternoon sessions will feature our signature Contact Yoga classes weaving together practices from partner yoga, contact improv, and Thai massage. These classes are accessible to all levels and open to singles and couples. Both our movement and bodywork teaching is framed by the Buddhist principle of Metta (Loving-kindness) and the Chinese 5 Elements.

Testimonial from Past Retreat:

“Alok and Anjuli are highly skilled facilitators who weave a beautiful web of co-creative leadership together. The experience they craft with the synergy and balance of their skills is playful, spiritual, connective and fun! Throughout the retreat I felt rejuvenated, inspired, challenged in all the right ways and excited by the new skills I learned. What they offer is truly a unique experience to both build community, grow deeper in your own embodiment, and gain tools for creating a healthy, fun and fulfilling lifestyle. They also do a great job of weaving in beginners and more advanced students alike, giving something for everyone. I highly recommend this experience to everyone!”
