The Blue Zone
Nosara is part of one of the world’s rare Blue Zones—places where people live longer, healthier, and more joyful lives. Here, longevity isn’t about hustle or perfection; it’s woven into daily rhythms of movement, community, time in nature, and deep rest. You’ll feel it in the slower pace, the barefoot mornings, the fresh food, and the way life gently invites you to exhale.
The Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort
Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort is a serene sanctuary tucked into the lush jungle of Nosara, designed to help your nervous system exhale the moment you arrive. Thoughtfully blending modern comfort with deep respect for nature, the resort offers open-air yoga shalas, tranquil pools, nourishing farm-to-table cuisine, luxurious spa treatments and beautifully appointed rooms that feel both elevated and grounding. Every detail—from the soft jungle sounds to the intentional spaces for movement, rest, and connection—invites you to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and fully receive the experience of this retreat.

Your Retreat Hosts
Ashleigh Frankel
Ashleigh is devoted to the inner work of living and leading without leaving ourselves behind.
For over a decade, she has been building communities and holding brave spaces where women can pause, breathe, and return to their wisdom centres. Her work is rooted in mindfulness, meditation, breathwork, yoga nidra, and restorative practice - grounded in both lived experience and leadership insight.
Earlier in her career as a lawyer and mother of three, she learned firsthand that success without steadiness isn't sustainable. What followed was not reinvention, but a deeper commitment to practices that cultivate aliveness — connection, rest, movement, joy.
A wanderer and adventurer at heart, Ashleigh has long been drawn to travel for the same reasons she loves retreat
- both disrupt the familiar, loosen old patterns, and reveal who we are beneath them.
Thoughtful by nature and a gentle rebel at heart, she has been expanding her capacity — not only for depth, but for delight. She believes joy is a discipline worth practicing. And sometimes, the wisest response is to just dance.
Amy Johnston
Amy Johnston is a mom, a 40-something, a social worker, and a survivor of burnout. She lives in Chicago with her husband and their two kids. She believes that travel can cure almost anything.
Over the past 20 years she has traveled extensively, but the trips she’s taken with the women in her life have been by far the most nourishing and the most transformative. Parenting, caregiving, building a career and sustaining a marriage is gorgeous, messy, sometimes exhausting work. Amy has found travel with brilliant, funny, wholehearted women to be the secret to resetting and reclaiming herself.
Amy is delighted to share her love of (organized) adventure with women who are ready to step out of the “busy” and allow space for connection, gratitude and joy. Let’s go.
