January 12-18 2025 | Nosara, Costa Rica // SOLD OUT
(contact Meg if you would like to get on the waitlist for 2026!)
Join Meg for a small and intimate retreat in the foothills of Nosara, Costa Rica. Located just a short walk through the jungle to the beautiful world-class surfing beaches of Guiones, our villa is nestled in the Nicoya Blue Zone, which makes it the ideal spot for some quality R&R. We will be staying together in one big villa with sweeping beach views (sunsets!), private pools, lots of space to hang out and relax, and just a short walk to Nalu studio, the beach, and town shops and restaurants. Daily brunch and three group dinners will be prepared on-site for us by the exquisite long-time Costa Rica resident and chef, Dilara Ozkardesler. Our days begin with daily meditation and yoga on the deck of our villa, and we will have three additional afternoon practices down in the Nalu Studio. A group surf lesson one morning with the amazing women at Mindful Waves is also included, and I am happy to help you set up more lessons as well as a board rental for the week if you like. The surfing is so incredibly fun and accessible and this is the perfect place to give it a go! This is going to be such an incredible week of connection and practice and play and relaxation. All you have to do is register and book a flight!

What folks are saying about study and retreat with Meg:
“Meg is sincere, honest and transparent. She has the ability to connect with individuals on many levels and not afraid to have real conversations. So lovely to be in her company.”
“It was fun seeing folks new to Meg engage with her style, since I've been practicing with her in various forms (public classes, group practices, in-person, zoom-y) for so long. I particularly appreciate the balance of casual and formal, in the sense that Meg holds a space, cultivates a container, but isn't super precious with it. There was patience, guidance, honesty, and openness/trust for each of us to take care of ourselves within the spaces.”
“Fucking incredible. Serious, safe, stern, soft. Like a well-seasoned tour guide, Meg knows what to say at which stop, knows how long to stay when & where, and can tell when the group is ready to move on or hungry for more. Meg is probably the most real person I have ever met. She is zealous in intention, purpose, and effort.”
“Meg is such a high-level teacher with an incredible amount of training and understanding of the asana practice. Her cueing and instruction are intelligent and well-articulated. Her ability to help others experience their bodies in new and challenging ways inspires and elicits growth in her students. She is steady and earnest and is a teacher you want to build a relationship with. Meg is also insightful, kind, and will inevitably make you laugh!”
