Whether you're up with the sun for a barefoot beach stroll or savoring slow mornings with your favorite rituals, each day is yours to shape.
Enjoy two thoughtfully themed movement sessions every day with Meg and Sasha:
Morning sessions are designed to energize, strengthen, and set the tone for your day.
Afternoon sessions focus on rebalancing, restoring, and unwinding.
Your retreat is grounded in daily movement, but the experience extends far beyond the studio. With ample time to rest, explore, and simply be, you can soak in the beauty of Costa Rica exactly as you need—whether that means grounding yourself with a jungle nature walk, diving into warm ocean waves, peacefully floating in tide pools, or unwinding with a good book by the serene Bodhi pool.
Optional experiences that you can add to your week include surf lessons, spa services from Bodhi, a sunset boat tour (imagine swimming with the Costa Rican mountains as your landscape and sailing back through sunset and dolphins), nature & wildlife outings, sunset dinner on the beach, and so much more!
Evenings offer optional local experiences—whether it’s live music, cocktails, or exploring other modalities like sound baths or yin yoga. You’re free to lean into Nosara’s vibrant rhythm or simply wind down early with a quiet evening.
Meals are served buffet-style, feel free to enjoy at your leisure:
Breakfast: 7–10AM
Lunch: 12–2:30PM
Dinner: 6–9PM

This retreat combines the best of Pilates and Essentrics® to offer a one-of-a-kind movement experience that is as inspiring as it is revitalizing. Each session is thoughtfully layered with mindfulness, breathwork, and intentional cueing to support nervous system regulation and enrich your restorative journey beyond the physical practice.
Meg and Sasha believe that the expansive, flowing quality of Essentrics® paired with the deep, stabilizing strength of Pilates are truly complementary. Having experienced firsthand how these two modalities enhance one another, they’re excited to share a comprehensive approach that feels both liberating and grounding, and one they know will support your body in powerful new ways.
Get ready to access a whole new dimension of embodied strength. With focused themes and expert guidance, each day builds on the last—offering the kind of consistency, depth, and progression that goes far beyond any home routine.

A retreat is only as powerful as the people leading it and the energy they bring together.
The collaboration between Meg & Sasha is rooted in mutual respect, creativity, and a shared love for movement—and you can feel that in every offering they create.
A Decade of Collaboration, Connection & Co-Creation
Meg and Sasha met over a decade ago while working for the Essentrics® Headquarters and became instant friends. From the start, they were each other’s go-to sounding boards—sharing feedback, refining class sequences, and showing up for one another’s sessions with genuine support. They’ve taught together at Essentrics® retreats in Jamaica, Mexico and in the US.
More recently, they created The Art of Teaching workshop—a widely acclaimed signature offering designed to inspire and empower instructors to move beyond memorization and into meaningful mastery. To date, they’ve led three successful editions.
Teaching Synergy
Their teaching styles seemlessly complement one another. Sasha brings spark, creativity, and anatomical precision, while Meg offers grounded presence, intuitive sequencing, and a focus that draws people deeper into their bodies. Together, they create a teaching synergy that feels effortless and alive.

This retreat welcomes a range of movers, but is best suited for those with some prior experience in Pilates, Essentrics®, or similar movement modalities. If you’ve been mostly sedentary for a long period of time or are currently working through significant mobility limitations, this particular retreat may not be the best fit at this time.
The classes are thoughtfully designed with layered options and progressive themes; having a foundation will help you feel confident and get the most out of the week. That said, you don’t need to be an expert! Meg and Sasha are intuitive, highly experienced teachers who offer real-time guidance, individual motivations, and hands-on support. Whether you’re returning to your practice, looking to deepen it, or exploring new ways of moving, you’ll feel encouraged to meet yourself exactly where you are.
If you're unsure whether this retreat is the right fit for you, don't hesitate to reach out. Meg and Sasha would be happy to help you make the choice that is best for you!

Ground transportation: Choose a private shuttle or group shuttle for a scenic drive of approximately 2.5-3 hours.

Travel days—especially to and from Costa Rica—can be full! That’s why the first and last days of the retreat are intentionally light, flexible, and designed to support your arrival and departure with ease.
Arrival Day (Saturday, March 21): Check-in at Bodhi Tree begins at 2pm. Since everyone will be arriving at different times throughout the day, you’ll have space to settle in at your own pace—whether that means cooling off in the pool, taking a nap in the AC, or sneaking in your first sunset stroll. No formal movement sessions are scheduled; this day is all about landing smoothly and getting comfortable. Meg and Sasha will be there to greet you, and you’ll be able to enjoy your first group dinner!
Departure Day (Saturday, March 28): The final morning is intentionally open and self-guided—a perfect moment for one last swim or to savor the peace and beauty of this special place. Enjoy a relaxed breakfast before check-out at 11am. Many guests may begin their journey home with early airport shuttles, so no classes are scheduled to ensure a calm and unhurried departure.

We completely understand how important it is to feel safe, supported, and well cared for—especially when traveling. We're committed to creating an inclusive and trusted retreat environment where everyone’s needs are taken seriously.

That said, please keep in mind that Nosara is a small town in Costa Rica. While there are a number of local, trusted medical clinics available, access to specialized healthcare, prescriptions, or certain dietary ingredients may be limited. In the case of any issues, we’ll be here to support you—but we encourage you to plan accordingly and travel prepared.

We also encourage you to reach out to us before booking so we can talk through whether the retreat is the right fit and how to best support you.

Not at all. Many participants attend solo, and this retreat — along with the location — is an ideal setting for it. The Embodied Reset is intentionally designed to be welcoming, inclusive, and supportive, whether arriving with a friend or completely on your own. Nosara offers a beautiful balance of solitude and connection — from quiet jungle walks to breathtaking beach sunsets, it’s a powerful place to reconnect with yourself. The thoughtfully paced schedule allows for both meaningful group experiences and ample time to rest and reflect. Throughout the week, Meg and Sasha offer warm, attentive support — from helping guests settle in to making sure everyone feels at ease during meals and moments in between. If there’s a call to come solo, trust it. It often leads to the most rewarding kind of reset.
-
Bodhi Tree Resort is just a 10-minute walk to Playa Guiones, making it easy to slip away for a swim, surf session, or sunset stroll whenever the mood strikes. Enjoy a complimentary golf cart service or bicycle rental at Bodhi Tree for easy trips to the beach when you don’t feel like walking.
There are easy, accessible walking paths to get you into the heart of Nosara, where you can enjoy its cafés, shops, and laidback vibe.
-
Not at all! This retreat is yours to experience in the way that feels best for you. While a rich schedule of classes and offerings is available, every session is optional. Whether it means skipping a class to rest, explore, or enjoy quiet time by the beach, each participant is encouraged to listen to their body, follow their energy, and make the experience uniquely their own.
Bringing a spouse or travel companion who isn’t interested in joining the retreat classes? That’s absolutely welcome! Meg and Sasha are happy to accommodate non-participating guests. While you’re in class, your guest can enjoy everything Nosara and Bodhi Tree have to offer. It’s the perfect opportunity to share a beautiful week together, each in your own way.
