“Incredible experience at Lauren's Costa Rica Wellness Retreat 2023, truly transformational. Fabulous fitness classes, group activities, welcoming atmosphere and positive vibe.

“I attended a yoga retreat at Blue Osa retreat . The facility was magical, food wholesome and utterly delicious. Lauren had a wide variety of classes daily and enough free time to relax and enjoy this special property. Right from the moment we booked our trip the communication was smooth and organized. A lot of the guests had been to other retreats of Lauren’s and keep returning. I can see why and I would not hesitate to do another. Great job 👍”
— Dorothy
“Lauren’s retreats are an amazing way to reset physically and mentally. I was reminded how much my body loves movement and being fueled by healthy food. This was my second time on one of her retreats and I was once again blown away by the experience. The classes were top notch; the meals were so delicious and accommodating to dietary restrictions; and the people there were so interesting and unique. Lauren makes everyone feel like family from the moment they walk through the door. I can’t recommend her services enough!”
