Regulate: A Somatic Experiencing Retreat – Colynn Cespedes

You’ve been holding it together for so long. The exhaustion in your body isn’t weakness.

It’s a message you haven’t had space to hear.

Regulate is a body-based retreat rooted in somatic experiencing, nervous system science, and yoga as a real-life practice.

Not a bootcamp. Not a detox. A gentle, trauma-informed space where slowness is medicine and your body’s signals are finally worth listening to.

You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of your own nervous system, practical tools for regulation in real life, and a body that remembers what safety feels like.

No prior experience required. Just a willingness to come home to yourself.

“Anamaya is an amazing retreat center up on a mountain overlooking the ocean. The Anamaya experience has it all ~ breathtaking views, outstanding staff, delicious food, and beautiful well planned accommodations. It is the perfect place to practice yoga, take part in excursions or simply relax. Everything is incredibly clean. Every single staff member was exceptional. The body work offered is incredible, and definitely world class. I will return!”

Optional Workshops:

This retreat includes four immersive workshops designed to take the somatic work deeper. Each builds on the last, moving from awareness to release, to resilience, to integration. They are optional, but many guests describe them as the heart of the week.

Relating: Building Relationship with Self, Body, and Nervous System

Before we can regulate, we have to relate. This opening workshop explores how the stories we carry live in the body as physical sensation and emotion. You’ll develop the language of interoception, learning to notice what is happening before trying to change it. A powerful foundation for everything that follows. This Workshop is 90 minutes. Price is $40.

Releasing: Moving Emotion Through the Body

This experiential workshop is a dynamic somatic meditation, adapted through a trauma-informed, choice-based lens. Using movement, breath, sound, and stillness, we create space for the safe discharge of stored stress and emotional energy. This isn’t about forcing catharsis. It’s about learning to trust your body’s capacity to complete what was once interrupted. This Workshop is 90 minutes. Price is $40.

Regulation: Boundaries, Capacity, and Emotional Intelligence

Awareness without application only takes us so far. In this coaching-focused workshop, we bring somatic concepts into everyday life, exploring boundaries not as walls or rules, but as nervous system skills. You’ll learn to recognise your body’s signals of yes, no, and enough, and begin building a more regulated relationship with your energy and time. This Workshop is 90 minutes. Price is $40.

Reverence: Integration, Ceremony, and Celebration

We close with a cacao ceremony and integration space, a time to honour the work you’ve done, the body that carried you here, and the community you’ve built. This final workshop is less about learning and more about landing. Softening, opening, and marking the journey with presence, pleasure, and connection. This Workshop is 2 hours. Price is $50.

PACKAGE PRICE: For all 4 workshops is $150.

Colynn Cespedes

Yoga Teacher | Life & Business Coach | Healer

Colynn Cespedes’ journey from Western medicine to holistic healing is one of resilience, transformation, and deep devotion. Beginning in healthcare in 2000, she worked her way from Home Support Worker to Emergency Room Nurse before pursuing medical school—believing it was her true calling. But alongside her studies, yoga pulled her in a different direction. The contrast was undeniable. Eventually, she made the courageous choice to leave medicine behind and dedicate herself fully to yoga, coaching, and energy work.

With thousands of hours of training and over a hundred Yoga Teacher Trainings led, Colynn integrates her deep clinical knowledge with ancient yogic wisdom. Her teaching blends anatomy, energy work, and past life regressions with humor, real-life wisdom, and spiritual depth. She believes yoga is a sacred roadmap—postures reconnect us with the body, breath bridges the mind and soul, and slowing down isn’t just something we do—it’s a way of being.

At Anamaya, Colynn’s dynamic morning classes awaken the body and mind, while candlelit Yin and Restorative practices in the evening offer deep release. More than just movement, her classes and workshops guide students to shift their perspective, disentangle from life’s dramas, and embrace true presence.

Now living a nomadic life, with Costa Rica as her home base, Colynn finds joy in the ocean, jungle, and the people she meets. Whether through yoga, coaching, or healing work, her mission is to help others reconnect—with themselves, their bodies, and the infinite possibilities life has to offer.

“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
