About Playa Avellana
Playa Avellanas is one of Costa Rica's secret gems (shhh!), where the stunning coastline meets the relaxed, authentic Pura Vida vibe. Playa Avellanas is a serene escape, located in the Guanacaste province known for its perfect weather, crystal-clear waters, and rich biodiversity. With white sand, inviting turquoise waves, and a welcoming atmosphere, it's a paradise for surfers of all levels and beach lovers alike. It's no surprise that Avellanas is a cherished spot for both locals and travelers. Here, you’ll find the perfect setting to rejuvenate your soul, invigorate your body, and soothe your mind.
Yoga, Breathwork, and Meditation
For the Move Your Soul retreat, there is no experience necessary and all levels of practice are welcome.
During the retreat, we’ll dive into the transformative practices of Hatha and Vinyasa yoga. Hatha, with its slower pace and longer, steady holds, is designed to still the mind and rejuvenate the body. In contrast, Vinyasa brings a dynamic energy, inviting you into a flow that seamlessly connects breath with movement—much like the rhythmic ebb and flow of the ocean tides. Each session will conclude with a guided meditation, offering a deep sense of relaxation for your mind, body, and soul. I can’t wait to share this journey of yoga with you!
The breathwork that we will be practicing is from the Pause method. Breathwork is an intentional practice with incredible benefits such as relieving stress, increasing your energy, resetting your nervous system, releasing blockages by moving stagnant energy, increased mind/body connection, and so much more! Each breathwork session will be tailored to the energy & needs of the group, being safely guided through a transformative journey that will surely leave an impression in your life. Let's breathe together!

A few of the standout meals feature a farm-to-table dinner at La Senda prepared by the Cala Luna, Le Cordon Bleu trained chef using vegetables, fruits & herbs from the on-site La Senda farm. Authentic Italian cuisine from Il Rustico with pastas made in-house and vegetables from their private garden. As well as a local Tico gastro experience with flavors from Nicoya’s Blue Zone region at Lola's. These experiences are just a taste of the delicious meals that will nourish your body for the duration of the retreat. The food is so good, it will be one of the highlights of your time at the Move Your Soul retreat!
Meet Kirstyn
Hi! I'm Kirstyn and I'm soul excited you have interest in joining the Move Your Soul retreat! My mission in life is to feel good and help others do the same. I am a lifelong mover, beginning dance of all kinds at the age of three. For 16 years, I danced many forms of dance such as ballet, pointe, lyrical, tap, jazz, and baton, just to name a few! Since 2010, I began pole dancing which has allowed me to teach, compete, and perform all around the world. In 2019, I received my 200-RYT in Hatha and Vinyasa yoga from Oceanic Yoga in Goa, India. After practicing breathwork for several years, in 2023 I enrolled in the Pause Breathwork facilitator program and graduated in November 2023. I am also the founder of Move Your Wellness, a vision centered around movement of the body, breath, and mind. I currently reside in Costa Rica where I teach yoga and breathwork.
