VB Method®
August 1-7, 2027
Nosara, Costa Rica
Yoga & Pilates Retreat
A week to move, restore, explore, and reconnect — with yourself, with nature, and with a community of women.
Join us in the jungle of Nosara, Costa Rica, for an intimate six-night VB Method® retreat designed to bring together so much of what we believe creates true well-being: movement, nourishment, nervous system regulation, mindfulness, play, nature, and meaningful connection.
Throughout the week, we’ll move through a dynamic blend of Pilates, yoga, strength, somatic practices, meditation, and workshops — balanced with plenty of spaciousness to rest, receive a treatment at the spa, spend time at the beach, explore Nosara, or simply slow down.
About retreat
And because we believe wellness is about more than what happens on the mat, this retreat is also about community, discovery, and enjoying your life. You’ll surf, play, share meals, spend time in nature, learn new practices, and connect with women from different places and walks of life.
Come solo or with someone you love. You don’t need to know anyone before you arrive. Our intention is to create a welcoming, inclusive space where you can arrive exactly as you are — and leave feeling stronger, restored, connected, and deeply nourished.
THE Experience
This week is intentionally designed around a balance of restoration, learning, connection, and play, with enough structure to create a meaningful experience and enough spaciousness to make it your own.
MOVE
Go beyond the physical practice with workshops and experiences designed to deepen your connection to your body and yourself.
Explore somatics and nervous system regulation, Ayurveda, meditation, mindfulness, Pilates core technique, partner yoga, and other practices you can continue using long after the retreat ends.
LEARN + CONNECT
Move your body every day through VB Method® Pilates, yoga, strength, mobility, and restorative practices.
Expect energizing morning sessions, grounding evening practices, creative movement, and classes designed to help you feel strong and energized while honoring the slower rhythm of the week.
NOURISH
Gather around the table for fresh, organic, farm-to-table meals prepared with ingredients grown on the land and sourced locally.
Food is part of the experience — an opportunity to slow down, nourish your body, and connect over meals shared together.
PLAY + EXPLORE
Wellness should leave room for fun.
Surf the warm waters of Nosara, explore the surrounding area, spend time in nature, connect with other women, and rediscover the kind of play and curiosity we often make too little room for in everyday life.
REST + RECEIVE
Not every moment needs to be scheduled.
There will be intentional open space throughout the week to rest by the pool, book a spa treatment, visit the beach, explore town, journal, spend time alone, or simply do nothing at all.
Location
Tucked into the protected jungle-covered hills above Nosara, Tierra Encantada is a private wellness sanctuary surrounded by nature, with views stretching toward the Pacific Ocean.
We chose this place intentionally, for its beauty and peaceful atmosphere, but also for the philosophy behind it. The property brings together movement, nature, nourishment, community, and restoration in a way that feels deeply aligned with the experience we want to create for this week.
The sanctuary is home to an on-site biodynamic farm, open-air movement shala, pool, gym, walking trails, gathering spaces, and Vie Harmony Wellness Sanctuary. Its private and shared accommodations are immersed in the surrounding landscape, creating a place where you can genuinely slow down and settle into a different rhythm.
Just fifteen minutes above Nosara, we’ll have the feeling of being tucked away in our own jungle oasis while still being close enough to experience the beaches, surf, and energy of one of Costa Rica’s most loved wellness destinations.
