Pilates & Gyrokinesis Retreat

with Rosie Hagerman

For six days on Costa Rica's wild southern coast, you get to set the rest of your life down at the door. No commute, no inbox, no decisions beyond which waterfall to walk to. Just your body, remembering what it feels like to be fully at ease, and a small circle of people choosing the same thing.

Saturday, March 6 – Friday, March 12, 2027

Reset your nervous system and improve your core strength and fluidity of movement with a daily practice of:

Morning
30 min optional Meditation
75 min Pilates Mat Class

Afternoon
75 min Gyrokinesis Class

Two practices, one arc. Mornings build strength and connection through Pilates. Afternoons open you up through the fluid, spiraling movement of Gyrokinesis. Around the sessions, the day is yours: a hammock, a book, a swim, a nap with the sound of the rainforest.

Uvita is a small, quiet coastal town on Costa Rica’s Southern Pacific coast in the Puntarenas Province. Synergy Retreat Center is surrounded by rainforest, close to the ocean, right next to the river and a 10 minute walk to waterfalls or to town. The symphony of the tropical birds and monkeys is like no other.

Fresh Local Cuisine

Good movement deserves good fuel, and here the food more than keeps up.

Three gourmet meals a day arrive protein, fruit, and vegetable forward, built to nourish a body that is moving, resting, and repairing. Costa Rican chef Laura Infante cooks with what the coast and the season offer: ripe tropical fruit, bright vegetables, clean proteins, flavor that tastes like the place you are standing in. Meals are shared at a common table, so the food becomes part of the retreat too.

Adventure

When you are not on the mat, Costa Rica is waiting.

Synergy sits in the rainforest above Uvita, a ten-minute walk from waterfalls and from town, and a short hop from the Pacific Ocean. Marino Ballena National Park is right next door. Walk the beaches, follow the river, stand under a waterfall. Or relax at the retreat center in the saltwater pool and cold-plunge.

Want more? Add-on surfing and kayaking excursions are yours for the taking. Whatever pace you choose, you will have real time to explore, rest, and let the place work for you.

Movement

Pilates and Gyrokinesis are two unique movement systems that complement one another.

After a morning meditation to center ourselves and to connect with breath, we will work on strengthening our core muscles with a flow of Pilates mat exercises. In the afternoon Gyrokinesis class, we will bring that strength into more dynamic movement on the mat and chair. Gyrokinesis moves the spine in spirals, waves, and circles, all synchronized to the breath. This system tonifies the nervous system as well as increasing joint mobility. It offers a freedom of movement unlike any other system.
