Return to your True Nature with Jillian Pransky
With Jillian Pransky
February 27 - March 6, 2027
Step out of winter and into the warmth, beauty, and rhythm of Costa Rica’s magical ocean coast. This retreat is an invitation to release the heaviness of the colder months and reconnect with your natural state of ease, clarity, and aliveness.
Surrounded by lush jungle, expansive sky, and the healing flow of the ocean, you’ll be held in an environment that encourages you to soften, open, and simply be. Together, we’ll create space to rest deeply, move mindfully, and reconnect—not only with nature, but with yourself and a supportive, like-hearted community.
Our days unfold at an unhurried pace, with two daily yoga sessions that gently anchor the rhythm of the retreat—creating space for renewal, insight, and deep restoration. In between, you’ll have time to wander and savor: exploring jungle paths, relaxing by the infinity pool, or simply pausing to take in the beauty around you. You may find yourself watching playful monkeys move through the trees, hummingbirds hovering nearby, and other vibrant local wildlife appearing throughout the day.
Meals are a highlight—fresh, organic, and thoughtfully prepared, enjoyed slowly in good company with space for connection and ease. You might curl up in a shady, breeze-filled nook with a book, or rest in stillness, letting the natural surroundings restore you. For those who feel called, we’ll offer two optional excursions: a visit to a nearby town to explore a local artisan farmers market, and a group outing on a catamaran to experience the coastline from the water.
And the music alone could be worth the trip. Thoughtfully curated soundtracks accompany each practice, creating a deeply immersive experience, and there’s always space to let loose—moving, dancing, and connecting in ways that feel joyful, freeing, and surprisingly healing.
In this retreat, Jillian Pransky artfully weaves together mindfulness and somatics with slow-flow vinyasa, restorative yoga, meditation, and deep relaxation. With an emphasis on rhythmic breathing, internal awareness, and fully supported rest, each practice invites a true unwinding—helping you melt tension, restore balance, and create space for greater presence and lightness.
You’ll return home feeling lighter, more present, and deeply renewed—reconnected to yourself, to others, and to the natural rhythm of life, carrying the warmth and clarity of this experience into your everyday world.
