Feel permission to do as much or as little as you like so that this is truly a time for you! All deliciously prepared meals are included in the price and there are options for shared double or triple occupancy rooms, each with a private bath.

As they say at Vida Asana, “Come get lost between the ocean and the jungle and we’ll take care of the rest!”

We are so very excited to share this experience with you!

Dates: March 16-22, 2025

Location: Vida Asana, Playa Hermosa Costa Rica

Located on the central Pacific coast of Costa Rica, in the rustic surfing village of Playa Hermosa, Vida Asana offers lovely eco-lodge accommodations and a beautiful open-air jungle shala, surrounded by mature trees, a river, and other native vegetation and wildlife. They grow many of their own fruits and vegetables, and have been hosting successful Yoga retreats for more than fifteen years.

The simple, yet functional rooms and suites feature twin or queen-sized beds, ceiling fans, private bathrooms, fridges, and AC’s. All group retreats include round-trip group airport shuttle, 3 (mostly) organic vegetarian meals per day (pescatarian available) and 24 hour access to bikes, the pool, and all amenities on site.

It’s a 5 minute drive or bike ride to Playa Hermosa, one of the most beautiful and consistent surfing beaches in the world, and only a 10 minute car ride to Jaco, for those who want to enjoy a night out or afternoon shopping.

Sophie Tashkovski is a graduate of Jamesville DeWitt High School and William Smith College. She began a dedicated yoga practice as a repose from her stressful corporate lifestyle in Boston, MA. Practicing at studios throughout Boston, Sophie was exposed to several different yoga styles and many amazing teachers.

Yoga helped Sophie get better balance in her life, and when a downsizing occurred at work, she completed her 200 hour teacher training in Boston at Charlestown Yoga. The training was a conduit for change; after 13 years in Boston, Sophie returned to Central New York in 2011 and currently owns Syracuse Yoga, teaches Yoga full time, and completed her 500 hour Advanced Yoga Training with Tiffany Cruikshank's Yoga Medicine program. She is a Yoga Medicine® Registered Therapeutic Specialist.

Sophie teaches all styles of Yoga, focusing on Anatomical Vinyasa and Yin, all while ensuring students are practicing safely and learning proper alignment. Prepare to smile while you sweat, and laugh while you balance, all while listening to an eclectic mix of music. You will leave class relaxed and renewed.
