THE RETREAT

 Costa Rica

A C R Y S T A L M O U N T A I N  R E T R E A T in Costa Rica

May 12-18, 2025

Experience the healing energies of a Costa Rica wellness retreat located in a rainforest and a crystal quartz mountain – a world-class, nature-inspired, holistic healing oasis that will nourish and renew your mind, body, and soul. 

The Retreat Costa Rica is the innovation of celebrity chef, best-selling author, and health and wellness life-coach, Diana Stobo. Her goal was to create a transformational wellness center that has since become a distinctively Costa Rican experience of “Heaven on Earth” - a resort and spa where our guests experience a harmony of nature, nutrition, and wellness nestled among the lush vegetation of the rainforest.  

Signature wellness programs, spiritual retreats, Ayurveda retreat, and gastronomic innovations among the soothing rhythms of nature and the stunning views of the tropical Costa Rican rainforest valley, Nicoya Peninsula, and the Pacific Ocean. Whether you’re being pampered at the Vida Mía, luxury Healing Spa, nourished by daily yoga classes, or savoring organic, garden-fresh cuisine sourced from the crystal quartz mountainside, The Retreat Costa Rica is mindfully designed to strengthen, nourish, and renew you — carrying you from wherever you are – to wherever you wish to be! 

Our retreats are heartfelt and welcoming and offer an opportunity to come home to yourself and to be vulnerable in a group of like-minded, accepting people. Participants often become friends for life and as they come back every year, we get to watch these relationships grow and blossom. No matter who you are, what “level” you are at, what is going on in your life, how much yoga you have or haven’t been doing, you are welcome on our retreats, you will be challenged, and you will be held while feeling at ease, at home, and accepted. We keep our retreats small on purpose (Max 20 people) because our ability to connect allows for deeper transformation. 

Sisters Andrea and Christina have been teaching yoga retreats together since 2010. We have a lifetime of sisterhood which enables us to seamlessly teach together, often finishing sentences and reminding each other who we truly are. Our closeness is palpable and reminds people of the closeness they feel to family and self. We realize how unique it is for two blood sisters to study, practice and teach together. We have fostered our yoga teaching partnership since our first teacher training together in 2003, but in truth we have been close our entire lives. Our partnership has been a true journey and we feel extremely grateful to be able to work together. 

For 5 days, 4 hours each day, we guide you through Pranayama, unique sequencing, postures, restorative yoga, meditation, and journaling. One sister teaches while the other sister walks around the room adjusting and answering questions. The high end COMO Resorts that we teach at think of every detail from nutritious meals, warm towels, fresh juices or teas, impeccable spa services, gorgeous facilities and rooms, exceptional service and staff so that you can truly surrender into the retreat and open up to the wisdom and learning that is available to you each year.

TESTIMONIALS

Accommodations were perfect. The natural surroundings were glorious. The food was exactly what I would want. Organic, local, and fresh each day. Each meal was made with attention and that farm-to-table, simple cooking. The yoga was not too much and not too little. There were a variety of participants with different ages and levels of experience and each of us found our way. And the mediation part brought me to myself over and over again. I am revitalized, reenergized, relaxed, and oh so comfortable in my body, mind, and spirit. I will take this with me for a long time to come. Thank you Curry Sisters and all that contributed to my glorious stay.

The thought of a yoga retreat was always a bit intimidating to me.  I got over that when I met Andrea and Christina Curry.  They have the most amazing way of creating a welcoming and mindful milieu that encourages personal development at the physical and metaphysical level.   It always amazes me that I finish the week physically stronger and mentally calmer and more balanced.  We work hard and chill.   I have been to 5 retreats and plan to go to another in 2018 (hoping I can squeeze in 2)!!  No worries about coming on your own – as well as being great yogis they are great hosts – everyone feels welcome and part of the group!

"Real Queens fix each other's crowns" is one of my recent fav quotes. These sisters empower each other and will empower you too.It was 3 years ago at the always magical Parrot Cay resort where I first met the serene Curry Sisters who melted the stress and opened my heart. Each retreat has a theme and both Andrea and Christina are true storytellers who  each share their unique journey and experiences while awakening your senses, and opening your chakras. The theme or intention of the day is a message for the class but I'm enchanted by the way that it feels like a personal message tailored just for me.  Yoga means union and whether you attend by yourself or with a friend you will quickly become part of their tribe. They are master instructors who guide and challenge you as you move through various postures(asanas), breathe, meditate and laugh. By the end of the week I find that I have strengthened both my body, mind and spirit and I simply just smile more. Maybe I've gone a bit deeper, gained confidence, or simply become more gentle. I look forward to these retreats each year. It's a gift I give myself. What I know for sure is that I will be back again next year.

You both have intuitive empathy...

I wish I could come up with some constructive criticism of your retreat, but I just can't, I felt supported appropriately every moment while there.  As you know my orientation and education is helping people with difficult emotions. I'm sure you both have experienced that personal difficulties will very often surface when folks have time for themselves and more quiet while on retreat.  It could play out in various ways that could affect the whole group. Working with emotions as they pass through the body is often not only necessary but unavoidable.  You both have intuitive empathy that I can tell serves you well when working at that deeper level.
