Tabacon Grand Spa Thermal Resort is offering its first yoga retreat, led by spiritual yoga instructor, MeShall of Mystical Sojourn Retreats, who balances a career as an environmental specialist with teaching yoga and wellness consulting for the Ritz-Carlton.

MeShall’s signature Mystical Sojourn Retreats at Tabacon’s magical, mineral-rich thermal springs setting. Scheduled October 19 thru 23, the Mystical Sojourn Yoga Retreat pairs Tabacon’s rainforest setting at the base of the Arenal Volcano with a spirituality-based wellness program.

Highlights of the five-day program include Temazcal rituals with Tonatiuh, the Grand Spa’s Shaman (Tabacon’s trio of traditional Mexican sweat lodges are the only ones in the world embedded in the empowering energy of an active volcano); guided meditation and meditative walks with MeShall and exploration of the volcanic springs; immersive instruction in Angel Yoga and The Five Tibetan Rites including yoga and meditation; therapeutic outdoor and introspective indoor activities; all meals, accommodations, special farewell dinner, unlimited use of the hot springs.

A certified Hatha yoga instructor and former environmental consultant, MeShall is best known for her unique style of Angel Yoga, which connects participants with the unseen presence of angels through guided visualization. Another MeShall signature, The Five Tibetan Rites, introduces powerful breathing techniques paired with continuous flowing movement similar to Vinyasa yoga, speeding the spinning of the chakras and stimulating the endocrine system.

One of Costa Rica’s premier spa resorts, Tabacon Grand Spa Thermal Resort is located at the foot of the Arenal Volcano in La Fortuna de San Carlos. Among the resort’s features is a three-unit Temazcal, the only one in Central and Latin America.
