" The Costa Rica retreat was an absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. The location was amazing, the food was delicious and nurturing, and the yoga was beautiful and expansive. Kate is a wonderful person, an intuitive and thoughtful teacher, and a pleasure to travel with. I loved everything about the trip, including the people I shared each experience with. "
"My husband and I had an amazing time at the Peace Retreat in Costa Rica! We did yoga in the morning and in the evening and had lots of down time during the day to relax by the pool, read in a hammock, or walk to the beach. The food was so delicious and nutritious - we even bought their cookbook! My favorite part was waking up to the howler monkeys in the trees with their babies on their backs. It was an unforgettable experience with beautiful connections and we owe it all to Kate at Rooted!"
"Let me start by saying, Our yogini Kate 😊 was nothing short of amazing, I really appreciate her putting this all together. My experience at Peace Retreat was just magical. In just a few days, I found myself feeling more centered, grounded, and alive than ever before. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or a curious novice, I wholeheartedly recommend embarking on this transformative journey of self-discovery. Trust me, your soul will thank you. Each meal was a masterpiece, to the eyes and stomach, ingredients all sourced locally I’m assuming lol . I found myself surrounded by like-minded souls on a shared journey of self-exploration. Through group discussions, I forged a few bonds with fellow retreaters, discovering the beauty of vulnerability and the power of human connection. This was definitely a 10 out of 10. A MUST TRY"
Yoga. YOG. To yolk. To unite. To be ONE. That’s what the Rooted Family became during our time in Costa. The time spent at The Peace Retreat filled, healed, rejuvenated my soul. It gave me my life back. It healed my practice. It fueled by mind. The breathtaking environment, heart filling locals, exotic animals welcomed me into complete bliss for a week. To keep it simple, it is one of the best things you could treat yourself to if you’re looking to find some sort of purpose again. Whether it be deepening your spiritual/meditative practice, or strengthening your physical asana. You will find your peace. Be prepared to leave a piece of your heart at The Peace Retreat. I thank Kate and Rooted Yoga for sharing this opportunity with me and allowing me to embrace new and deeper levels of my practice. Nos vemos en Abríl Rooted familia. PURA VIDA 💚
I went on the 2024 retreat to Costa Rica with Kate at Peace Retreat Center and all I can say is WOW. This felt like a once in a lifetime experience! There were moments of great inner reflection, physical challenge, relaxation and of course yoga!!! Each class was unique and more than you just an hour of practice. I had plenty of time to enjoy the area, go on excursions, to find solitude and peace or to connect with the community of friends. It was well organized and Kate was super informative before and during the trip so I was never left feeling unprepared or anxious. If you want to be one with nature and dive deeply into yourself and your yoga practice, I would highly recommend this experience!
