Join our beloved Layna Dakin, in Costa Rica for an unforgettable retreat designed to help you step away from routine and into something bigger—adventure, connection, deep rest, and the kind of reset you didn’t know you needed.
At Danyasa Eco-Retreat Center in Dominical—where the jungle meets the sea—we’re bringing the Sweat Yoga experience beyond the studio into a private sanctuary built for movement, restoration, and meaningful connection.
Whether your adventure looks like waterfall hikes, trying something new, moving your body in a new way, saying yes to rest, or simply slowing down—you’ll be supported every step of the way.
Your edge may look different than someone else’s. That’s the beauty of a retreat. You don’t need to be ready. You just need to be willing.
Pura Vida isn’t just a phrase—it’s a way of life. In Costa Rica, life slows down just enough for you to actually feel it. The ocean, the jungle, the sunshine, the movement, the stillness—it all invites you back to yourself.
Dominical is a small beach town where the mountains meet the sea, surrounded by lush jungle, waterfalls, wildlife, and endless opportunities for both adventure and rest.
This is the kind of place that helps you breathe deeper. The kind of place that reminds you how it feels to be fully present.

ACCOMODATIONS
We chose Danyasa Eco-Retreat Center as our home for the week—a bamboo sanctuary where the jungle meets the sea.
Rooms are built from up-cycled shipping containers, thoughtfully designed and set in harmony with the surrounding greenery of Costa Rica.
Each space is simple and created with intention—featuring air conditioning, Wi-Fi, hot water, a private deck, and quality bedding to support your stay.
Surrounded by lush jungle and just minutes from the beach, the setting is what makes this place truly special.
The entire retreat center is exclusively reserved for the Sweat Yoga community.
Room sharing is encouraged and a great way to connect, build community, and create friendships that last beyond the retreat.
Much of your time will be spent enjoying the open-air spaces, the studio, the pool, and everything Costa Rica has to offer.
