Manasa Yoga by Kasia

Mindfulness Retreat in Costa Rica

CASA FIREFLY
26th November -2nd of December 2025

We have a super exciting, new exotic destination for our Manasa Yoga by Kasia Retreat at the end of 2025.

We will be heading to a beautiful Caribbean coast in Costa Rica, rich with culture, tropical plants and amazing fauna. The Boutique hotel Casa Firefly that we will be staying at is located 5 min away from a beautiful beach and is surrounded by an amazing costa rican jungle where you can meet sloths and monkeys.

Our daily practices will be taking place in a beautiful yoga shala surrounded by lush greenery.

The first session of the day will start as soon as you wake up and will consist of an opening awareness practice (breathing and other meditative practices, mindful movement), followed by a yogic philosophy lecture and an energising mat practices.

From around noon, till early evening you will have free time to just chill in the hammock and contemplate the teachings, go for a swim in the pool, enjoy the beach or visit nearby town to get to know the local culture.

The second block will start before dinner with a restorative practice, followed by a closing meditation practice.

The retreat is suitable for all levels students, so whether you are a regular Manasa Yoga student or you are new to this particular tradition, you will have a great opportunity to experience its transformative power firsthand under the guidance of Kasia Gendis, a Senior Manasa Yoga Teacher.

The retreat also includes 2 trips:

*A 2 hour tour to Cahuita National Park. We will take this trip on one of the mornings. The shuttle bus will drive us to the Park, where a guide will take us around. After we will have free time in the park on the beach, from where we will take a 30 min walk back to our resort. Our morning practices will be moved to the evening block that will be extended by an hour on that day.

*A whole day trip to Bribri Indigenous Village, with a chocolate tour, to meet the locals and to see how the chocolate is made (no morning classes on that day, only an evening session). The trip also includes a visit to a nearby waterfall.

With almost 25 years of dedicated practice and teaching, as well as a consistent ongoing learning under her guru Manoj Kaimal, Kasia will be your guide to a deeper understanding of yourself and your practice.

All the practices will be aligned with the main focus of Manasa Yoga that will help you cultivate a calm, focused and inspired mind in a healthy, strong and supple body.

Kasia Gendis, with her compassionate teaching style, creates a nurturing, accepting and loving environment for personal growth and self-discovery that will empower you to tap into your true potential and surprise even yourself.

Kasia is also a Mindfulness and Stress Resilience Coach specialising in peri-menopausal and menopausal women helping them reduce stress and minimise unwanted symptoms that often occur at this time of women’s life. A lot of practices introduced at the retreat will also be very helpful in those areas, if incorporated into daily routine.
