Can I come to Anamaya for this week without doing much yoga?

Yes, within limits. Anamaya says guests on most weekly retreats can skip the programming and just relax in a hammock, by the pool, or with spa services. Whether Pamela's week has any required components isn't stated, so confirm with the resort if that matters to you.

What else is available at the resort besides Pamela's sessions?

Anamaya lists healthy meals, spa and wellness services, and excursions as part of the retreat experience. There are also places to unwind, such as hammocks and the pool. Which excursions or spa treatments are included versus paid extras isn't specified, so ask when booking.

Is Freedom Embodied a good fit if I want a structured, teacher-led week?

It can be, since the retreat centers on a specific teacher and theme, and Anamaya asks you to choose your week by teacher or theme. That said, the resort's model leans flexible rather than rigid. If you want a tightly structured program, confirm Pamela's daily format with Anamaya first.

Description

Freedom Embodied is a week-long spiritual retreat at Anamaya Resort in Montezuma, on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, led by Pamela Fitzgerald. It is a yoga and somatic movement retreat for people who want more than rest: a chance to reconnect with the body's wisdom, intuition and inner joy, and to explore what a free-spirited life might look like.

Pamela describes the week as a remembrance rather than only a reset. The theme is rewilding, and the practices are built around it.

What to Expect

The week blends yoga, somatic practice and rituals of rewilding, all aimed at helping you reconnect with your body, your intuition and your joy. Within that frame, you are invited to take part in several offerings:

- A heart-opening cacao ceremony
- Expressive somatic movement
- Intentional crystal jewelry creation
- Sacred encounters with a free-living herd of horses

The retreat runs for seven days. The resort's retreat weeks are designed so that you can customize your stay, joining the classes and workshops that call to you or leaving space to rest in a hammock, by the pool, or on an excursion.

About Pamela Fitzgerald

Pamela Fitzgerald guides this retreat through movement, self-exploration and the art of living freely. Her approach combines yoga with somatic work and ritual, inviting guests to come back to what she calls their wild, wise self.

The Setting

Anamaya Resort sits in the jungle above the ocean in Montezuma, in the Puntarenas region of Costa Rica. The resort has been named one of National Geographic's World's Best Wellness Destinations for 2026, and it overlooks the Pacific in a Blue Zone. Guests at Anamaya's weekly retreats can enjoy healthy meals, spa and wellness services, an infinity pool and jungle excursions, as well as time to simply relax.

To reserve a place, you choose your week, then a room based on the size of your party or your budget, and then pay a deposit.

Before You Go

The material gives no experience requirements for this retreat, and the programs at Anamaya are built so that you can shape your own level of participation. If you are drawn to somatic yoga, ceremony and time among animals and trees, this week is made for that. Come ready to move, to feel, and to spend a week among horses, cacao and the Costa Rican jungle.

Common Questions

FAQs

Anamaya's booking process starts with choosing the retreat week from its calendar, in this case Pamela's week. Next you pick a room based on your party size or budget, then pay the deposit to secure your place. Spots on Anamaya retreats can be limited, so it's worth completing these steps early.

For most of Anamaya's weekly retreats, participation is optional. You can join the classes and workshops, or simply enjoy the meals, spa, excursions, and rest. Anamaya encourages guests to customize the week. Check with the resort whether Pamela's sessions have any set expectations, since the listing doesn't spell this out.

It's held at Anamaya Resort in Montezuma, in the Puntarenas province of Costa Rica. Anamaya describes its retreats as set in the Costa Rican jungle with ocean views. Expect a residential, stay-on-site retreat rather than a single-session event.

The organizer's page text doesn't include a program description for Pamela's week, so the specific practices, daily schedule, and workshop topics aren't confirmed here. The title suggests an embodiment-focused theme, but that is only an inference. Ask Anamaya or check the retreat's own listing for the schedule before booking.
