“Anamaya is the best and most beautiful place to rejuvenate! I had the most amazing week. I cannot recommend Anamaya enough. I went as a solo traveler and had the best time. The food was incredible. I was blown away by how delicious, fresh, healthy and clean it all was. The whole week was a great balance of group activities plus time for solo adventures. This trip was the perfect was to disconnect, relax and rejuvenate.” – Eden

The Awaken & Reset Retreat

Recharge . Restore . Renew

Join us in Costa Rica for the Awaken & Reset Retreat — a transformational journey designed entirely around YOU.

If you’ve been giving endlessly and craving space to simply be, this is your invitation to slow down, tune in, and replenish your energy. This retreat is intentionally flexible so you can create the experience that feels most aligned — whether that means full days of rest, adventure, connection, or all of the above.

You’ll have the option to join daily yoga led by Karen, including grounding morning flows and calming evening sessions, along with unique workshops like gratitude ceremonies, ecstatic dance, and cacao rituals. But nothing is required. You choose what supports you most each day.

Whether you’re new to yoga or deepening your practice… craving stillness or seeking new inspiration… this retreat meets you exactly where you are — and helps you leave feeling like the most vibrant version of yourself.

Here’s a look at the optional workshops Karen will be offering:

Gratitude Ceremony

We often breeze through life without a second thought or a thank you. The small things in life are the big things in life so let’s get together and be grateful. When we are grateful, what we have is enough. Being thankful increases the serotonin and mental strength. Grateful People have an advantage at overcoming trauma and enhanced resilience helping them to bounce back from stressful situations. We come together to amplify this energy and connect to one another and open our hearts. We will burn sage and palo santo to clear the energy and create a safe container. Each will receive a candle, incense bundle and gratitude rock.
This workshop is 1 hour and the price is $45 (or $120 for all three workshops).

Letting Go Fire Ritual

Release what no longer serves you. What is holding you back and weighing you down? Are you over giving or is someone, or something, taking more energy than you give? Are you drained or tired and no longer want to be placed second in your life? Create space for what is waiting and wanting to come into your life, like new people, places, and things that are more aligned with your highest version of yourself. This sacred fire ritual of burning away what no longer serves so that you may rise from the ashes like a Phoenix.
This workshop is 1 hour and the price is $45 (or $120 for all three workshops).

Ecstatic Dance & Cacao Ceremony

Cacao ceremony, ecstatic dance & live Music. Ceremonial grade cacao from the women of the neobi tribe in Costa Rica. This sacred drink is called the medicine of the gods due to its happy and joy feeling and heart opening sensation. We will pray and send thanks for this beautiful medicine and invite dance. We will be converging with the powerful energies of the moon, beginning with a Cacao Ceremony where we will partake in drinking raw chocolate elixirs to support the opening of our hearts. Karen will then share a meditation and hold space to help set our intentions. We will then share a multi-dimensional Sound Journey with live music and move to an ecstatic dance to explore expression of the body and clear the mind. We will end in a deep savasana of rest to feel the effects of this beautiful experience.
This workshop is 2 hours and the price is $60 (or $120 for all three workshops).

Meet Karen – A Global Yogi with Heart-Centered Wisdom

Karen’s journey with yoga began in her early years, practicing Satyananda yoga in Australia. Over the years, her passion for yoga has taken her across the globe, teaching and practicing in the Sacred Valley of Peru, Canada, California, Australia, and Costa Rica, where she now calls home. With more than 1,000 hours of training, Karen brings a wealth of knowledge to her classes, offering a variety of styles including Vinyasa Flow, Hatha, and Yin.

Her deep connection to the yogic path and surf life reflects her dedication to living with balance, presence, and joy. Karen teaches full-time at studios, ashrams, retreat centers, and yoga teacher trainings, continuously evolving through self-study and immersion with fellow teachers, spiritual leaders, and communities around the world. Inspired by the sacred teachings of Peru and the devotional spirit of Bhakti yoga, Karen infuses every class with soulful intention and playfulness.

Karen’s love for Yin yoga, sparked by her studies with Bernie Clark and Kali Durga, has become a cornerstone of her teaching. She is passionate about helping others experience the transformative benefits of Yin and guiding students to integrate these principles into their daily lives.

What sets Karen apart as a teacher is her belief that yoga is more than just movement – it’s an honor, a privilege, and a profound act of service. She teaches not from superiority, but from lived experience – having walked through challenges, risen from the ashes, and emerged stronger with each transformation. Her teachings reflect her personal evolution, allowing her to meet students with authenticity, depth, and compassion.

For Karen, every class is sacred – a place to honor the divine within each student and to offer an invitation to reconnect with their universal truth and beauty. Teaching yoga is her worship, and holding space for transformation is her deepest joy. Karen feels blessed to bring this spirit of awareness, love, and gratitude to her students at Anamaya Yoga Resort.

“This has been the most incredible week. Karen is a goddess. The staff are just the most kind, wonderful, gentle people. I am beyond grateful for all the gifts of this retreat” – Kathryn
