Flow Shala — Costa Rica NYE Training Retreat 2026/27

This New Year's training retreat in Dominical, Costa Rica, is a seven-day immersion in Steel Mace Vinyasa, Heavy Clubs and flow-state training. It is open to every level, and no experience is required. Summer Huntington and Mark Wildman of Flow Shala lead the week at Danyasa Eco-Retreat, a short walk from the beach and surrounded by jungle.

What to Expect

Mornings begin with training on the sand. During the day, sessions move into Danyasa's bamboo jungle studio. The focus is on refining your movement through Steel Mace Vinyasa and Heavy Clubs, with the week framed around refinement, immersion and adventure.

Two days take the group off-site for a waterfall adventure. New Year's Eve is celebrated together with the whole group, whom the organizers call warriors-in-training.

About the Teachers

Summer Huntington and Mark Wildman teach together under the Flow Shala name. They lead all training on this retreat.

The Setting

Danyasa Eco Retreat & Boutique Hotel sits on the main street of Playa Dominical in Puntarenas, on Costa Rica's Pacific side. The grounds combine beach access with jungle, and the bamboo studio is where much of the daytime training happens. Three organic, farm-to-table meals are served each day.

Before You Go

The retreat is all-inclusive. The price covers:

- six nights of lodging
- three organic meals daily
- purified water and coffee
- airport transfers on the first and last day
- training staffs
- all in-event transportation

If you already own a steel mace and clubs, bring them. Beginners and experienced practitioners train side by side, so you do not need prior experience with either tool.
