Yoga Nidra Deep Dive: Yoga & Yoga Nidra Retreat, Dominicalito, Costa Rica

Yoga Nidra Deep Dive is a seven-day yoga and Yoga Nidra retreat in Dominicalito, Puntarenas, Costa Rica, designed for people who already practice Yoga Nidra and want to go further into it. It is led by Ally Boothroyd, Kristyn Rose and Emma Treharne, and sits within a small series of rest-based retreats shaped for women in transition.

The retreat takes place where the jungle meets the Pacific. Daily yoga and Yoga Nidra are paired with time in the surrounding rainforest, in a setting chosen for its quiet.

What to Expect

Over seven days, the days are built around yoga and Yoga Nidra, with nature as a third teacher. The approach behind these retreats draws on nervous system awareness, gentle movement, reflection and time outdoors. The aim is to slow the pace enough that you can hear yourself again, and to bring that steadiness home with you afterward.

Meals are wholesome local cuisine. The atmosphere is intended to be restful and attentive rather than demanding, with room to explore your connection to the natural environment around you.

About Emma Treharne

Emma Treharne is a yoga, Yoga Nidra and mindfulness educator and a trauma-informed holistic wellness coach. She works with women through menopause and other significant life changes, helping them live with more ease, safety and self-trust. She describes her work as living where science meets soul, rooted in nervous system awareness, embodied practice and rest-based approaches.

Emma brings more than 30 years of experience in therapy, education and women's health. Her own experience of burnout and nervous system dysregulation led her to create supportive spaces for women to heal and thrive. In her view, change happens when the body feels safe enough to soften, so her role is to create the conditions where listening becomes possible. She is the author of Reclaim Yourself: A Nurturing Guide to Menopause & Beyond, Book One in the Embodied Woman Series.

The Setting

Dominicalito is on the Pacific coast of Puntarenas province in Costa Rica. The retreat is held in the lush rainforest close to the ocean, a combination of jungle greenery and coastal air that suits a week of rest and attentive practice.
