About the Retreat
Surf Sweat Flow is the jungle-meets-ocean reset we run every January. The Osa Peninsula is where SALTY slows down a notch — still active, still sweaty, but with more rest baked in and more mornings that start with yoga next to the water.
Blue Osa is our home for the week: a private beachfront retreat on the peninsula's edge, open-air yoga deck, chef's kitchen, a pool and hammocks built for actually doing nothing between sessions. Howler monkeys wake you up. Scarlet macaws fly overhead. The jungle is loud, and then the ocean is louder.
The programming is the balance. Erin, Nate, Jalisa, and Martha from Synergy Physio run dynamic yoga, Pilates-on-the-deck, strength and mobility workshops, and a pro surf lesson at Pan Dulce. The Synergy team brings Cirque du Soleil and Olympic-level credentials — workshops you can't really get anywhere else.
Afternoons run on jungle time. Matapalo Waterfall hike. Pool. Hammock. A $50 spa credit to use however you want. Dinners are all chef-prepared, dietary needs handled, and slow enough that nobody leaves the table early.
25–30 guests, the most balanced retreat in the lineup. If you want to start the year with a real reset — not the kind you post about, the kind that changes your shoulders — this one's built for you.

Soul Work & Jungle Juice
Morning Crew and Power to start hot. Release and Relax workshop with the Synergy team mid-morning — the kind that puts you back together. Afternoon is Soul Work: yoga meets Pilates meets dance floor, the session that sneaks up on you. Dinner, then the Jungle Party back at ours: casual games, jungle juice, no one checking the time.
