Deep Dive into the True Essence of Self

A Yoga Nidra Retreat with Shanna Hughes and John Hughes


April 21-26th, 2026

Come Home to the Truth of You


Join intuitive healer and somatic therapist Shanna Hughes and renowned meditation teacher and spiritual guide John Vosler for a deeply nourishing 5-day retreat, Deep Dive into the True Essence of Self, held April 21–26, 2026, at the private, world-renowned Imiloa Institute in Costa Rica.

Set in the heart of the jungle with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, this immersive retreat is an invitation to pause, exhale, and come home to yourself. Through guided meditation, somatic practices, healing dialogue, and soulful connection, you'll gently shed what no longer serves you and reconnect with the truth of who you are beneath the noise of daily life.

Whether you're navigating transition, seeking clarity, or simply longing to feel more grounded and alive, this retreat offers the space, support, and sacred beauty to meet yourself with compassion and presence.

“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.”
