Previous Retreat Feedback:

“I just returned from the best yoga retreat with Erica and a group of fantastic, funny, smart and genuine women. The yoga and guided mediation & journaling was meaningful because of Erica’s gifted perception and spirit. The accommodations were clean and very comfortable with lots of space for participants to have privacy, indoors and outdoors. The meals were nutritious, with options for specific dietary needs. It was more than I could have imagined. Honestly the most fulfilling and magical yoga retreat I’ve ever been on.”

“Thank you for hosting and officiating my amazing journey of enlightenment during this very challenging time in my life. You have helped me beyond my expectations. My heart is lighter, brighter, and grateful. I will hold this experience close to my heart always. Thank you for inner vision, spirit, wisdom, and enlightenment. You are doing what you were meant to do!”

“Feels good to remember my dreams again! I hope you know I would change nothing about the experience. You have a way of making people feel safe and every detail was planned to make account for our needs.”

“This retreat was just what I needed it was truly one of the best trips and best gifts to myself. The location and weather were amazing and we were taught to slow down and really appreciate what was going on around and inside of us. It was a wonderful and restorative and a great opportunity. I was very happy there and loved the camaraderie and wisdom on the women and the healthy food and yoga and meditation and reiki! Erica provided a safe space for us to fully unwind and rediscover parts of ourselves we had left behind, she also did a great schedule with a little down time, but I never felt bored not once!”

“Every basic need was met and considered. This meant I didn’t need to think about anything but my physical and emotional journey. Shuttle to location, stops for basics, great meals prepared…Next, I loved the location and the climate was beautiful. Finally, the overall safety and serenity Erica projected and maintained for participants. I wouldn’t change anything about the retreat. Everything fit comfortably and adjustments were made with ease.”

“I met wonderful people and had a soul relaxing time at Erica’s Panama Yoga Retreat. The combination of yin yoga and flow yoga was perfectly interspersed with guided meditation, Reiki, and relaxation time.”

Important Things to Know

Yoga mats and blocks are NOT provided on all retreats, but they are provided for retreats hosted in Costa Rica. You are encouraged to bring a travel yoga mat and your own blocks if you can fit them in your luggage. If not, do not worry! Bring an extra beach towel or two for yoga and we will adapt accordingly! This is meant to be a relaxing, peaceful time to recenter, connect with yourself & engage in healing & self-care practices.

Laundry is available on site. I will provide unscented laundry pods & dryer sheets. If you have special laundry needs, please bring your own detergents and/or fabric softener if you plan to use the washer & dryer.

Everything is optional! To get the most out of your retreat experience, I highly recommend participating in the planned activities, however, everything is complete optional.

The style of Vinyasa yoga I teach is slow & strong and accessible to even the newest yoga students. Yin yoga, the other style of yoga offered during the retreat is a seated, deep stretch practice. Flexibility is not necessary, nor is physical strength. Yin yoga allows for the connective tissues to get a much needed stretch and helps nurture joints. To view the type of yoga you can expect on the retreat, try my YouTube classes here.

All of our retreats are sober events. No alcohol or drugs are permitted at any time. I thank you for your understanding.

Beginners to yoga, meditation, journaling, cacao, and breathing practices are welcome and encouraged to join us. If you have any concerns, please reach out to discuss: info@souldreamsstudio.com

Food allergies, sensitivities, and preferences are not a problem! There is a space on the registration to list your specific dietary needs, if any.

A retreat is a beautiful gift to the self. Retreats help you to take some time away from the busyness of life and pause and reflect on your life, its purpose and meaning, and where you want to direct your energy moving forward.

This retreat is intended to create an energetic shift within you to bring you to a more peaceful, more aligned, and more fulfilled version of yourself. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity experience another country, meet new, like minded people and reconnect with your soul, all while enjoying unique cuisine and gorgeous views.

Pack a bag and join us!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is domestic transportation included?

Usually transport to and from the airport is included. Please check each individual retreat listing to confirm what is included.

What meals are covered?

Usually most meals are included. Please check individual retreat listing to confirm what is included.

What kind of yoga will we do?

I will teach vinyasa (slow & strong style) and yin yoga (seated, held positions that stretch connective tissues, not use muscular strength). The yoga will be varied depending on the theme but will be accessible with modifications available.

Why is this a sober event?

Alcohol and drugs do not mix well with spirituality. In order to create a safe space for all participants, this is a completely sober event. When doing yoga and other healing work, it is best for your body to be as free as possible from toxins. Lots of fresh food and plenty of other beverages, like water, juices, teas, coffee, and cacao will be provided.

What if I haven't done yoga or any of these other things before?

I love beginners! I try to make things as accessible as possible, usually by remembering how I felt when I first walked into a yoga studio and felt extremely intimidated and like I didn't belong. I give to others today what I needed back then - a welcoming attitude, encouragement, and understanding from a beginner's perspective. And, if you find I am not explaining things well enough, please just let me know!

The Yoga I teach is accessible within reason, provided you have no extremely limiting physical conditions. We can discuss if you have any injuries or sensitive areas before you commit to the retreat.

Guided meditation is simply following the sound of my voice. I will usually have you either sitting up against a chair or wall or lying down, not in the traditional sitting up seated position you might think of (and might find painful if you aren't used to it).

Guided journaling is giving you questions to specifically answer in your journal and is done in a "stream of consciousness" way. This means that you put pen to paper and write things down, no matter what comes out or how it looks or sounds. No one will read it (you might not even read it again!) so it is supposed to just be a flow to release, not be grammatically correct or even make sense!

Cacao is chocolate in its purest form. Working with cacao ceremonially is a form of plant medicine. The cacao helps to warm the heart and connect you deeper to spirit, including your own. It can also help release stored emotions, boost creativity, and encourage compassion for others and yourself. You always have the option not to drink the cacao but still join us in ceremony. You can have coffee, hot water, or tea if you prefer.

Will my phone work?

Most likely, but it depends! There is free wifi at the house, so depending on your carrier your phone may have some service on wifi. You can also call your phone company to see if you need to add onto your plan for it to work outside of the United States. You can also check if your phone plan is compatible with the service towers in the retreat country. Sometimes phones work totally find when traveling abroad; other times they only work on wifi.

What else is helpful for me to know?

Laundry is available on site

All activites are optional, but recommended to get the most out of the retreat

The retreat is limited to 8 participants total

Rooms are on a first come, first serve basis. If you really want to go, be sure to reserve your space soon!

How do I know if this retreat is right for me?

Use your intuition! If it feels right for you to join us, then do so! Often, your intuition will tell you to do something (you may have that “gut” feeling, or feel a little nudge within, or maybe synchronicities happen) but too often intuition is either ignored or overpowered by fear. So if it goes something like this: “Oh, I really want to do this!” and it is followed by something like this: “Oh, I can’t do that. It’s too far, too many days, I’m scared to leave the country, what if I don’t like the food, etc. etc. etc.”, then fear is getting in your way. Your intuition will be a gentle nudge - “Hey, this would be good for you,” and your ego or fear will give you a list of reasons why you shouldn’t do it…listen to your intuition. You will always make the right choices when you listen to your intuition. :)

How is this different from other Yoga Retreats?

A lot of yoga retreats on the market tend to offer yoga in the morning and the evening and the rest of the time is free or excursion time. This retreat is different in that while yoga is offered every morning and evening, there are also group activities, healing sessions, sharing circles, cacao ceremonies, Reiki, and guided meditation. You still have a few hours of free time each afternoon, and we will enjoy two optional excursions, but most of the day is structured (although, it is in a slow, moving with the pace of the group structure). As such, you can expect to get a lot more out of this retreat than you might from just a yoga retreat.

What if I want to come but I don’t know anyone else who is going?

The women who join in for the retreats I host tend to be kind hearted souls. On the first day we will do introductions so you can get to know everyone. I have several clients who have made lifelong friends just by going on a retreat on their own, so maybe it is your turn to experience this!

How did people feel about your previous retreats?

Here’s some feedback from participants who attended previous retreats:

“Thank you for hosting and officiating my amazing journey of enlightenment during this very challenging time in my life. You have helped me beyond my expectations.

“I met wonderful people and had a soul relaxing time at Erica’s Panama Yoga Retreat. The combination of Yin Yoga and Flow Yoga was perfectly interspersed with guided meditation, Reiki, and relaxation time. I liked the daily schedule with yoga in the morning and evening. I enjoyed the guided meditation and find this easier for me than just sitting meditation. I felt free to share or not to share. The house was phenomenal as was the food.”
