Aging with Grace – Luna Lodge, Osa Peninsula

Aging with Grace is a six-night yoga retreat at Luna Lodge on the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica, led by Lana and Lara. It is made for anyone who wants a week to slow down and come back to themselves, with daily yoga, ceremony and time in nature, and no rushing or pressure. The lodge sits in the heart of what the organizers call the most biodiverse rainforest on Earth.

What to Expect

The week is built around gentle, unhurried practice. Each day includes yoga in several forms: Face yoga, Tai Chi, Yoga Nidra and a practice called Luna Awakening. The emphasis is on breathing, restoring and carrying home a sense of grace that lasts beyond the retreat.

Ceremony and nature fill the rest of the week. There is a cacao ceremony with sound healing, a guided tour of Corcovado National Park and an Avatar Waterfall experience.

Luna Lodge retreats generally follow a daily rhythm that balances activity with rest, learning with reflection, and community with solitude. A typical day at the lodge begins with silent sitting meditation at 6:00 AM and sunrise yoga at 7:00 AM, followed by breakfast at 8:30. A wellness workshop at 10:00 leads to lunch at 12:30 and a guided nature experience at 2:00 PM. Spa and rest time begins at 4:00 PM, and evening practice, either restorative yoga or meditation, starts at 6:00 PM. This is the lodge's general daily flow, so the specific schedule for this week may vary with the teachers' plans.

The Setting

Luna Lodge is an eco-lodge in the rainforest of the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica. Guests stay in private eco-bungalows with daily housekeeping, surrounded by forest. Meals are organic and locally sourced, three a day, with fresh coffee and tea, and the kitchen caters to dietary needs on request.
