With Courtenay and Parisa

We’re thrilled to invite you to our 5-night yoga retreat in beautiful Guanacaste, Costa Rica, from February 10-15, 2027.

Every day will be a chance to relax, rejuvenate, and immerse yourself in the beauty of Costa Rica. We’ll begin each morning with yoga practice followed by a nourishing breakfast. Your days will be filled with free time to explore, unwind, and participate in optional group activities, and each evening will end with restorative yoga or a peaceful moment by our resort's private beach.

Full Body Yes: Shake & Yoga Retreat

Tulum, Mexico | April 7-12

Join Element Yoga founder Parisa Hervani and Shake Rising creator Sara Folsom for a deeply nourishing 6-day, 5-night retreat in the lush jungle energy of Tulum. This experience is designed to help you reconnect to your body, regulate your nervous system, and say a full-body yes to your life — through movement, ceremony, nature, and sisterhood.

Your Home Away From Home

We’ll be staying in a stunning private villa tucked into the natural beauty of Tulum — a peaceful sanctuary designed for rest, movement, and connection. Hosting up to 16 guests, the villa offers generous space to unwind, gather, and reset. Our home is in the town center of Tulum just 10 minutes from the beautiful Tulum beach.

Enjoy mornings in the yoga shala, afternoons exploring the town by foot, visiting the beach, or lounging by the rooftop pool, and evenings under the stars — whether you’re soaking in the garden’s stone bathtub or sharing quiet conversations in the outdoor spaces. This is a place to truly slow down and land.

What’s Included

  • 5 nights / 6 days in our private luxury villa
  • Daily breakfast + chef-prepared dinners, featuring nourishing meals inspired by local flavors and customizable to dietary needs
  • Daily movement + embodiment practices, including Shake Rising, yoga, cacao ceremonies, restorative practices, yoga nidra, and ritual
  • One group excursion (details to be announced — curated to reflect the magic of Tulum)
  • Daily housekeeping
  • Drinking water provided throughout the stay
  • Transportation to and from the Villa and Tulum Airport
  • Two dedicated retreat leaders serving as your personal concierges — here to ensure everything flows smoothly and to help you discover and schedule additional experiences Tulum has to offer

…and more moments of connection, rest, and expansion than we can list.

Not Included

Airfare, additional meals, optional activities (spa treatments, excursions, shopping), extra transportation, or personal expenses.

Why Tulum?
After careful consideration and in alignment with our core values of safety, nervous system regulation, and ease, we made the decision to relocate this retreat from Cartagena to Tulum.

Recent updates to U.S. travel advisories and the broader geopolitical climate led us to feel that hosting a group retreat in Colombia at this time did not fully support the sense of groundedness and safety we want for our guests. Our intention is always for this experience to feel like a full-body yes — emotionally, physically, and energetically.

Tulum offers a beautiful, accessible setting that allows us to preserve the exact spirit, programming, and depth of the retreat while ensuring our community feels fully supported and at ease.

We’re grateful for your trust and can’t wait to gather in a place that allows everyone to truly relax, open, and receive.
