Join us for our 2026 Costa Rica retreat! 

Time Away That Changes Everything

A Yoga Nidra Retreat in the Costa Rican Jungle with Shanna Hughes and John Vosler


April 21-26th, 2026

Imiloa Institue, Costa Rica

Come Home to the Truth of You


 

There is a rhythm beneath the surface of life. 
A quiet knowing that says: You are already whole.

This isn’t a retreat to escape your lifeit’s a return to the stillness beneath it. A sacred space to release what’s not yours, to soften, rewire, and remember.

Join us for six unforgettable days at the Imiloa Institute, where jungle canopy meets open sky, and every moment invites you back to presence.

Through the ancient wisdom of the five elements— Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether— you’ll move through a cycle of grounding, flow, transformation, spaciousness, and stillness.

Guided by the deep rest of Yoga Nidra, immersed in nature, movement, and conscious breath, you’ll clear old patterns, reconnect with your essence, and awaken to what has always been here: the unshakable presence of Being.

This is not a retreat to become someone else. It’s a homecoming. To your breath, your body, your Self.

“I have been a student of Shanna’s for almost 10 years now. She is one of the loveliest women and best yoga instructors you will have the good fortune to know. Since she is a yoga therapist she cannot only lead you through a series of vinyasas, but can tailor-make them for you according to your needs. My flexibility and strength at age 59 are a direct result of her classes. If I take time off for any reason, I can immediately notice a difference in my body in a negative way. There are not enough words that can impart how wonderful she is and how enjoyable and beneficial her classes are.”
