One Self (One Love) Retreat

Move. Rest. Liiife.

Early-bird pricing ends [DATE]. Prices go up $[AMOUNT] after that.

*Limited spots available: 18 maximum

THE INVITATION

Move like you mean it. Reset like you deserve it.

Every morning starts with movement that builds real strength. Every evening slows you all the way down with yoga, breath and stillness. In between, the only thing on your list is to enjoy where you are.

For a full week, someone else handles the meals, the rides and the plans. You show up, move your body, eat well, sleep hard and spend time with people who want the same things you do. You'll leave with more energy than you arrived with, and habits you can actually keep once you're home.

Your Instructor

Meet Alex

Alex founded Word Life Athletics in 2017 with a simple idea: training should make your whole life stronger, not just your workouts. Since then, Alex has taught yoga, strength and mobility classes, coached personal training clients one-on-one, and led wellness programs for companies and communities.

On retreat, expect mornings that challenge you and evenings that put you back together. Alex keeps the group small so every guest gets real attention, not just a spot in the back row.

Vista Celestial is a boutique luxury hotel tucked into the rainforest hills above Uvita, on Costa Rica's southern Pacific coast. You'll wake up to jungle and ocean views, with pools, gardens and waterfall trails right on the property, and the beach a short ride down the mountain.

We'll practice on open-air yoga decks overlooking the jungle and the ocean. Meals are served in the open-air restaurant.
