Balance Between Power & Peace:
In a world that constantly asks you to do more, be more, and push harder – this retreat invites you to do the opposite.
To slow down. To listen inward. To build strength without tension.
You’ll explore the harmony between effort and ease, movement and stillness, discipline and softness – leaving not only physically stronger, but mentally clearer and emotionally lighter.
What Your Days Will Feel Like:
Imagine waking up to the sound of nature, sunlight filtering through tropical palms…
Your day begins with energizing Pilates or yoga flows, designed to awaken your body and build deep, sustainable strength.
Afternoons are yours to rest, explore, journal, connect, or simply exist – without pressure, without noise.
As the sun sets, we gather again for slow, grounding practices, breathwork, or mindful movement to bring you back into stillness.
Every element of the day is intentionally curated to help you reset your nervous system, not overwhelm it.

Meet Your Instructors…
Laura Nicole & Manuela Suarez
Laura and Manuela first met during their 200-hour yoga teacher training at the Anamaya Resort in Costa Rica. Sharing a room, they quickly formed a close friendship that has continued to grow ever since. What brought them together was a shared passion for movement, wellness, and mindful living… something they now feel deeply called to share with others.
Hosting their own retreat at this very sanctuary is a dream come true. With Still & Strong, they invite guests into a transformative experience that blends yoga, Pilates, and intentional movement to cultivate strength, balance, and inner clarity.
Laura’s journey began through dance and travel. As a former ballet dancer, she later discovered Pilates during injury rehabilitation and was immediately drawn to its gentle yet powerful impact. With over 500 hours of yoga training and certification in Balanced Body 
Mat Pilates, she approaches movement as a pathway to both physical alignment and a calm, grounded perspective on life.
Manuela’s love for movement started in childhood through gymnastics, eventually leading her to yoga – where she found not only a passion, but her purpose. With certifications in Vinyasa Yoga, Movement Principles, Mat Pilates, and Applied Functional Science through the Gray Institute, she brings a thoughtful, holistic approach shaped by years of teaching, practice, and meaningful personal growth.
Together, Laura and Manuela create a space where guests can reconnect with themselves, build strength from within, and experience movement as a source of inspiration and transformation.
