The Space
Naya Nosara, an eco-conscious hotel and retreat center, is nestled in the privacy and tranquility of the serene jungle of Playa Pelada. This unique location allows you to bask in one of the world's most beautiful natural coastlines. In the heart of Nosara, amidst the dynamic surfing and wellness community, Naya stands as a serene refuge.
Just a few minutes walk from the beach, we are in paradise at Naya. Here we can also enjoy our private infinity pool to cool off in between classes.
Costa Rica, one of the most serene places on earth, is a habit for more than 5% of the world's biodiversity. Known for its stunning beaches, lush rain forests and incredible wildlife, it is ranked as one of the most visited places in the world.

We, Diana & Martina, meet eight years ago when working at a yoga studio in Stockholm. Little did we know we would reunite this summer after both immersing ourselves into different trainings and healing modalities during the last years, and find the inspiration to create this training and retreat for you. Our background and experience is similar, yet complementary, and we couldn't be more excited to invite you to come with us on this adventure!
By co-creating this retreat, we want to offer you not only a unique experience to visit one of the most serene places in the world but also to reconnect with your own essence and heart during this uplifting and inspiring bhakti and yoga training.
MARTINA TÖRNVALL, a devoted yogini, breathworker and cacao lover, has over ten years of experience in the holistic field. Coming from a background as a corporate lawyer, she decided to make a leap of faith and embarked on an inner journey which lead her to explore different styles of yoga, tantra, breathwork, bodywork amongst other healing modalities. Her spiritual quest has also lead her to experience different indigenous traditions and healing plants.
Now, having created over 100 yoga retreats in India, France, Sweden, Costa Rica and Spain, she is passionate about sharing these techniques and tools with others which ultimately saved her life. Her purpose is to support people to wake up and regain their inner power to live a more authentic life. Known for her calm voice, nurturing presence and feminine essence, she guides you safely through every part of the experience.
A world traveler with a nomadic lifestyle, Martina spends most of her time in the Pachamama Eco Village: a retreat haven in Costa Rica, and her motherland Sweden. The last years she has also immersed herself into bhakti: sharing kirtan and cacao ceremonies all over the world.
DIANA BOLO is a singer&songwriter who sees her life mission in empowering people to sound and sing. She started writing her own music after being an opera singer for several years. The sacred music world is her favourite habitat because it has much more freedom comparing to the rigidity of academical singing. Diana shares her medicine songs in English and Kirtan style mantras in Europe and Central America.

The Training
In this training we will combine the yoga and the mantra learning. Mantras are the ancient texts written by the sages. In the Western world they are chanted as beautiful melodies. The process of chanting brings together the connection of the heart and voice and elevates the energy of the group. If you are having difficulties in your life, if there are some decisions to be made, if there is need to connect with other people and learn about their processes -group mantra chants will help you to find what you need.
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music"

Yoga & Meditation
We start our days on the yoga mat to arrive within oneself before meeting others, awakening our bodies with movement and breath.
Breath & Pranayama
Breathwork is one of the fastest growing healing modalities in the world and a powerful tool to create clarity in all aspects of your life.
Dance & Embodiment
We believe dance is medicine for the soul. In this retreat we will move not only on the yoga mat but also more freely to ecstatic music.
The Food
Nourishing, fresh, yummy, healthy, plant-based. Just a few words to describe the food you will have the pleasure to indulge in during this retreat, all prepared with local and organic vegetables and fruits.
Costa Rica is abundant in tropical fruits and organic vegetables and we will fully indulge in their goodness during the retreat.
Three meals per day are included, plus snacks in between if needed. There will always be free water and tea.
The Accomodation
At Naya we stay in shared rooms, beautifully decorated in a bohemian style with natural material responsibly sourced from the land. All rooms are stand alone units with en-suite bathrooms, private comfortably furnished verandas and air conditioning.
The furniture is handmade by Costa Rican artisans, the art comes from an amazing community of artists in San Jose, and the textiles are hand-embroidered treasures from all over Central and South America.
If you come in couple or as two friends you may of course stay together, and if you come on your own you get to share the room with a new friend.
