Vision. Power. Presence.
Join Laura Waite and Kelly Jones for a deeply nourishing 7-day retreat in Costa Rica, designed to bring you home to your truest self.
We will gather as a circle of women to reconnect with the body, awaken inner vision, reclaim our power, and root ourselves in presence.
Through a blend of daily yoga, guided self-inquiry, breathwork, nature immersion, sound, movement, and ceremony, you’ll be held in a sacred space of transformation, sisterhood, and soul-level awakening.
“Laura is one of the most incredible yoga instructors I’ve ever practiced with. Her classes are a perfect blend of challenge, relaxation, and mindfulness, all delivered at a beautifully balanced pace. She has an innate ability to make every participant feel welcome, supported, and completely in tune with their body.”
– Rebecca
TUNE INTO YOUR VISION
Each morning begins on the mat with breath, movement, and stillness to awaken your awareness and connect to your inner world. Through yoga, meditation, journaling, and guided self-inquiry, you’ll create space to hear your own truth again. This is your time to clarify what matters and see your life with renewed perspective.
TAP INTO YOUR POWER
Through embodied practices like dynamic yoga, mantra, breathwork, and emotional release, we remember that true power isn’t about control, it’s about connection. You’ll explore your voice, your strength, your fire. As we move, sing, and feel fully, you’ll reclaim the parts of yourself that have been waiting to rise.
RETURN TO PRESENCE
Afternoon practices slow things down: restorative yoga, nature-based rituals, forest walks, and breathwork bring you back to your center. Here, in stillness and simplicity, you reconnect with your senses and your spirit. This is where deep integration happens. Where you get to feel fully alive, and at home in your body.
ALL INCLUSIVE
From the moment you arrive at the retreat, everything is taken care of. Nourishing meals, beautiful accommodations at Ater Tumti, all practices and experiences, every detail is thoughtfully curated so you can fully exhale and focus on yourself. No decisions, no logistics, no stress. Just space to soften, receive, and be deeply held.
NOURISHMENT FROM THE INSIDE OUT
Each day, you’ll be nourished with vibrant, locally sourced meals prepared with love and intention. The team at Ater Tumti will serve a menu designed to support your body during this deep work, light, grounding, and incredibly satisfying.
A SACRED SANCTUARY
Nestled in the hills above Sámara, Ater Tumti is more than a retreat space. Surrounded by forest, ocean views, and the sounds of nature, this stunning eco-sanctuary offers comfort, beauty, and soul. Whether you’re resting in your room, soaking in the views, or gathered in the circle space, every corner invites you to come home to yourself.
“I don't think I would have ever developed the love for yoga I have now if it hadn't been for Kelly”
– Becka
“Laura holds space with the love of a sister and the protection of a guardian. I sit here now with an immense sense of accomplishment, gratitude, and peace—feelings that would not have been possible without the gift of safety and sisterhood she provided.”
- Bree
“Kelly is a unique and gifted teacher and yogi! She is so attuned to each student and really crafts her class to what will most benefit each participant. Made a huge difference in our trip and a great opener of the way to yoga and deeper awareness.”

MEET YOUR FACIlitators
Laura Waite
I’m a mother of two, a small business owner, and a proud resident of Costa Rica—a place I’m grateful to call home. It’s my joy and privilege to share this journey with you.
My healing path began in 2001 when I stepped into the world of yoga. Since then, I’ve been on an ever-deepening journey of personal transformation and growth. This exploration of inner truth and self-discovery inspires my mission: to guide others in reconnecting with their authentic selves, their inner wisdom, and their sovereignty.
For over 18 years, I’ve served as a facilitator of healing and transformation. I am an intuitive, a yoga teacher, a bodyworker, a Lightworker, and a Metatron Color Therapist. I see myself as a channel and guide, dedicated to helping others awaken their inner light and remember the truth of who they are.
KELLY JONES
I arrived to Costa Rica 21 years ago as a backpacker longing to see the world, take a break from the fast paced life I knew and begin a journey of self discovery. I was aware as soon as I stepped foot in Costa Rica it would be a place I forever held close to my heart. What I didn't know was the way my life would unfold over the next few years. I fell in love with more than just the country, trusted my intuition and have been blessed to live here ever since. You will find me deep in study, on my sacred mat, facilitating yoga teacher trainings & retreats, relaxing with my toes in the sand, the sun upon my face and watching my children run wild and free along the beach.
My purpose as a yoga teacher is to empower you through the practice of yoga, awareness and personal development to create positive changes that allow you to show up more effectively in all areas of your life.
