I will meetyou where you are at and support you as youcolour the canvas of your soul.

– Emma

I’m Rhonda and I believe that life itself is alesson to encourage us to grow in love and selfawareness. I use my time on my yoga mat topractice being the best version of myself and towitness who I am in each moment. I havelearned a lot by noticing how I approach,respond, resist, and settle into my yoga practiceand believe that these same patterns show up inall aspects of our lives. Yoga has offered me thespace to figure out what is most important to meand provided me with the tools to transform theway I felt,inside and out.I provide safe and inclusive spaces for others tofind their way back to themselves and offer thetools they need to experience themselvesdifferently than they are able to elsewhere. I lovespending time with other people, encouragingthem in their own growth and sharing the toolsthat helped me find freedom and peace in myown life. I am here to support your soul increating its most fantastic design.

– Rhonda

Join us

Join us for our second gathering at Synergy Retreat Centre in Uvita, Costa Rica where the lush, mountainous rainforest meets the ocean and the sounds of nature soothe the soul. This year’s retreat presents an opportunity to delve into self-expression, foster connections, and tap into your creativity. With an array of activities and yoga classes you will experience a transformative journey towards living from your soul.

Synergy is a special place that backs onto the Uvita River and will be our own private sanctuary for the week. It is full of hidden relaxation spots, private decks, and lounging chairs. We have our own private access to the river, a swimming pool, cold plunge, and stunning accommodations with the most comfortable beds! We will have exclusive access to Synergy with a private chef and retreat guide arranging our rides and making sure we have everything we need. This place will easily become home for the week as we spend time together building a strong sense of community and friendship.

Retreats differ from a regular vacation because they offer a special opportunity to rest and receive nourishment on all levels (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual) by being connected to nature, movement, breath, and fresh, nutrient dense food. The location, the sounds of the jungle and nearby river, the gourmet meals, the theming of each practice, the soul session inquiries, and the activities we do will all be thoughtful, meaningful, and offer the chance to heal, grow, and relax all while having fun exploring how you might colour the canvas of your soul.

Synergy website can be found here: https://synergycostarica.com/ Browse the beautiful photos of the many private lounge spaces, expansive yoga deck, pool, and gardens.

If you are ready to book your retreat email Rhonda at hello@rhondaoffthemat.ca or Emma at hello@somaandsoulmovement.com and we will send you a financial waiver and make arrangements to receive your $400 usd deposit to hold your spot. We are looking forward to spending this special week with you!
