Find Your Voice Again: A Wellness Retreat with Cristiane Machado.

 

Most of us have spent years dimming our voice. Swallowing what we really want to say. Performing instead of expressing.

 

Join us in Costa Rica for a week designed to change that. The Anatomy of Your Sacred Voice with Cristiane Machado is more than a getaway: it’s a reset for your whole nervous system.

 

Your retreat is fully customizable. Blend daily yoga, sound healing, sacred cacao ceremony, Costa Rican adventures, and Cristiane’s signature workshops to match exactly what your body and spirit need right now.

 

Come home to yourself: clear, grounded, and finally heard.

“This trip really exceeded all expectations. The place is as beautiful as the pictures would suggest! Cristiane was awesome, and provided options for all levels. Nearby activities (zipline, beach, surfing, etc.) fun and easy to get to. The food was delicious, and the kitchen asked each of us our preferences and provided accordingly. I’d love to come back and spend another week soon!” – Phil

The Power of Your Sacred Voice Workshop:  

You’ve spent years holding back what you really want to say. In meetings, in relationships, in your own head. The words are there – but something keeps them stuck.

This workshop is about getting them unstuck.

Over two sessions, you’ll learn how tension lives in your throat, why your voice shuts down under stress, and how to access a clearer, more grounded way of speaking and expressing.

You’ll leave with:

  • Practical techniques to release vocal tension when it matters most
  • A deeper connection to your throat chakra (the body’s center of communication)
  • The confidence to say what you mean – without over-explaining or shrinking

This isn’t about becoming louder. It’s about becoming clearer.

This workshop will be divided into 2 sessions that will be 2 hours each. The cost is $135.00 per person.

 

Cacao Ceremony:

When was the last time you let yourself feel without fixing, analyzing, or pushing through?

Ceremonial cacao has been used for centuries to quiet the mind and open the heart. Not in a woo-woo, abstract way – in a “finally exhale and feel what’s actually there” way.

Cristiane guides this traditional ceremony rooted in Mayan wisdom. You’ll sit in circle, sip cacao sourced from Costa Rica’s BriBri Tribe, and be led through a meditative journey designed to soften the armor you didn’t know you were wearing.

No experience needed. No expectations. Just permission to feel.

Price for the ceremony is $50

 

Z-Fit Movement Workshop

Think you’re not a dancer? Perfect. This class is for you.

Z-Fit isn’t about getting the moves right. It’s about getting out of your head and back into your body – through simple, feel-good movement set to international music.

No choreography to memorize. No one watching or judging. Just 60 minutes of shaking off the tension you’ve been carrying and remembering that joy is allowed.

You’ll leave lighter, looser, and wondering why you ever held back.

Price is $15

Cristiane Machado Headshot Anamaya

Cristiane Machado

Cristiane Machado is a Brazilian-born bodyworker, 200-hour yoga teacher, and facilitator of transformation. After moving to the U.S. in 1999 and training at the Florida School of Massage, Cristiane began a journey that deepened her connection to energy work, yoga, and meditation – practices that reignited her own path to healing. Now based in Montezuma, Costa Rica, she guides others through yoga retreats, sacred cacao circles, and her YogaLoka Project.

Cristiane’s teaching philosophy centers on Yoga as a lifelong practice, a path to self-knowledge, acceptance, and inner peace. She believes in the power of connecting breath, physical effort, and observation to achieve well-being and heal old patterns. Her inclusive teaching style blends Hatha, Yin, and laughing yoga, making the practice accessible to all. Cristiane’s greatest joy is helping her students take their yoga practice off the mat and into the world, fostering kindness and connection.

“I can’t say enough positive words to describe my stay at Anamaya. The place itself is gloriously beautiful. The staff are caring, warm, attentive and kind. The food was delicious, creative, healthy and satisfying. The spa services are remarkable. The two yoga decks are so beautiful. There are many fun day trips to choose from… it doesn’t get much better than this.” – Karen
