When we talk about Soma, we mean the sensing, living body – the one that whispers long before the mind catches up.
Sensation.
Breath.
Instinct.
The truth you feel, not the one you manage.
Through yoga, somatic dance, pranayama, meditation, creative arts, connection, and real rest, the elements help you return to yourself… little by little, again and again.
This isn’t about effort. It’s about listening inward. (And yes, we’ll laugh a lot too.)
Secure Your Space now with a NON REFUNDABLE $750 Deposit.
Over five days, we explore the five elements as our teachers:
Earth steadiness and belonging
Water adaptability and ease
Fire clarity and courage
Air openness and breath
Ether spaciousness and intuition
Mornings begin soft; we’ll share yoga, meditation, or breathwork. Then breakfast.
Then somatic dance and a second yoga class shaped by the day’s element Then lunch. 🙂.
Afternoons open into choice:
Evenings are gentle:
Yoga Nidra, sound bath, fire circle, or community dance.

You’re tired of putting yourself last
Your well-being, your joy, your creativity. You’re ready to reclaim time for you.
You want to go deeper Deeper
into your body. Deeper into your intuition. Deeper into the version of yourself who’s fully alive, present, and awake.
You crave a holistic reset
Not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Plenty of yoga and meditation to bring you back to center.
You believe in the power of heart-centered connections
The kind where a conversation over dinner changes you, where a shared laugh turns into lifelong friendship, where community lifts you higher.
You’re craving a deeper connection with nature.
Imiloa’s lush jungle, sprawling grounds, and ocean views will surround you in beauty and peace.
You aren’t quite sure what you need… but you know you need something. You feel the pull to step away from the daily grind, breathe, move, and get clear.
You believe in equity and inclusion, and want to be part of a space where all are welcomed, valued, and honored.
You’re not into self-inquiry, growth, or taking time away to reconnect with yourself.
You’re closed off to new perspectives, tools, or ways of thinking.
You’re looking for a resort-style getaway with poolside cocktails and passive relaxation. This isn’t Club Med. SOMA is an immersive, soul-shifting experience—expect to move, reflect, connect, and grow. Yes, there’s free time to unwind, but this retreat is about showing up for yourself in a deep, intentional way.
We have the entire place to ourselves!
Round-trip charter flights from SJO and Quepos airports.
Complimentary tea, coffee, fruit, and snacks.
Yoga, dance, breathwork, and meditation sessions going far beyond classes at home

Posted on Casey MerwinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. SoulShine is truly a special place and I’m so grateful to have found it and to Mare & the whole SoulShine team for making it what it is. They create such an inviting atmosphere, where joy/play, mindfulness, curiosity and self-expression are encouraged.. There’s a beautiful sense of connection and community and palpable shared energy here too, that's part of the magic! The studio offers tons of great classes like yoga, dance/Nia, strength training, hula hoop dance and more, and each one carries that same uplifting energy. All of the instructors bring their own unique style/talent and often will weave in themes that stick with you beyond class. SoulShine makes it easy to integrate your own growth and healing through play and movement and being in community. I love that I can just show up to class and see what magic unfolds..and I always leave feeling lighter and so glad I came :) If you’re looking for a little more vitality and joy in your life, I encourage anyone to come check it out!Posted on Paula RhoadsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

The owner is amazing. I attended a bridal shower which was not the original location that it was supposed to take place in but everything happens for a reason. The owner was accommodating, polite, and has such a beautiful spirit. This place is a complete vibe If could give it more than five stars I would.
