Jungle in. Stress out.

This is your Costa Rican exhale.

We’re heading to Costa Rica, deep into the jungle of the Osa Peninsula. There we’ll share a week of movement, sunshine, and seriously good vibes. We’ve got a private beachfront resort tucked between the jungle and the sea, with a pool, hammocks, and all the space you need to recharge.

Each day kicks off with sunrise workouts and ends with slow, grounding bedtime yin. In between, we’ll mix it up with beach games, poolside Pilates, and an epic surf session at Pan Dulce—one of the most beautiful all-level surf spots in the country. There’s also time to explore, connect, and just be. Think jungle hikes, group card games, great coffee, and better company.

All your meals are covered—fresh, local, and cooked right there on-site. You’ll get a $50 spa credit to treat yourself, a SALTY gift bag, and access to classes led by two incredible guest coaches from Synergy Physiotherapy and Pilates in Halifax. They’re both movement pros with serious credentials (Cirque du Soleil, the Olympics… no big deal) and they’re joining us to help you move better, feel stronger, and get more in tune with your body.

It’s the kind of week that gives you exactly what you need—whether that’s sweat, stillness, laughter, or just some time away from the noise.

day one

  • Touch down in paradise, shake the travel off with sand between your toes, and kick things off with a sunset welcome party that sets the tone for the week ahead.

day Two

  • Today’s about finding your edge—surf, SoulWork, and all the SALTY moments in between. We move, we try some new things, we rest.

day three

  • We rise with the sun, flow through morning yoga, and sweat it out on the beach. Prep for your first surf day with a ‘Surfs Up’ Pilates class, and wind things down under the stars.

day four

  • Bootcamp on the beach, waves on repeat, and a jungle party that goes off. Big energy. Big fun.

day five

  • It’s all about chill and strength today, gentle movement, pool pilates, maybe even a nap to the sounds of birds and monkeys.

Group of people walking in a single file along a narrow dirt trail through lush green vegetation with palm trees, sunlight streaming from the left.

day six

  • A jungle hike, a sweat, and a whole lot of sunshine. Light up the core and see a sloth in the same day? Sounds good.

day seven

  • Last full day and it’s packed: movement, surf, golden hour pics, and one last dance under the stars at our favourite local bar - great music. Guaranteed.

Group of people standing in a line on the beach, holding onto each other's shoulders or waists, smiling and having fun, with trees and the sea in the background.

day eight

costa rica SALTY METER

A green 3D radar chart displaying five personality traits: Culture, Rest, Sweat Level, Adventure, Party, and Group Size, with varying scores.

Group Size – How many people you’ll be sharing the experience with (1 = 6 guests, 10 = 60+) | Party – The level of nightlife, dancing, and evening energy. | Culture – How immersed you’ll be in local traditions, food, and community. | Rest – The amount of downtime, relaxation, and quiet moments built in. | Sweat Level – How intense and frequent the workouts will be. | Adventure – The dose of excursions, exploration, and off-the-beaten-path moments.

The SALTY Meter is our vibe compass—a quick snapshot of what to expect on each retreat. It captures the energy and experience of the trip based on group size, accommodation style, local culture, and the blend of movement, adventure, and downtime we’ve got planned.
