Yoga for Healthy Living Retreat
Costa Rica, April 12-19, 2026
Why Join Us?
Embark on a transformative yoga experience designed to foster awareness of how yoga can promote healthy living, through a combination of community (sangha), mindfulness, breathwork (pranayama), gentle physical practices and time with and within nature.
We will discuss and experience how the effects of yoga can extend off the mat: reducing anxiety, increasing energy and empowering and enabling self-awareness and self-discovery. You will be guided to move intuitively and connect with your own unique experience on the mat, in order to embrace the power to be your own medicine man.
This retreat emphasizes Yoga-based tools that support the pillars for Healthy Living: Mindfulness/Stress Management, Flexibility/Mobility, Balance/Agility, Bone/Muscle Strength, and the Immune System, and is accessible for ANY-BODY, including those 50+ years old.
The Yoga for Healthy Living Retreat will be led by Diane Keyser and supported by Debbie Asmus, on April 12-April 19, 2026 in Playa Negra Costa Rica.

Peace Retreat is a lovely, affordable retreat venue in the jungle, about 1.5 hr from Liberia airport. With shaded hammocks to linger and journal or read; a pool to cool off, socialize or lounge; beautiful structures on 5 acres; delicious, fresh and nutritious meals prepared on-site from local ingredients - and a location that can't be beat, Peace Retreat has something for everyone! Only 20 min walk through the small village of Playa Negra brings you to a quiet beach where one can surf, swim or just relax. Spa treatments available on-site and Stand-Up Paddleboarding available nearby.
I stayed at Peace Retreat in 2024 and found a welcoming space that I just knew I had to offer to new guests. Come join me! Check out the Peace Retreat website for more photos and additional information! Note: Peace Retreat is in a remote location.
