Blue Spirit Resort
Costa Rica
with Emily and Ashley
Get ready to spend a week in paradise with BYB Instructors Emily and Ashley at the world renowned Blue Spirit Resort in Costa Rica. Perched in the jungles of Costa Rica on a hilltop that overlooks the Majestic Pacific Ocean, and a three-mile long pristine white sand beach, Blue Spirit offers an extraordinarily beautiful natural setting. Blue Spirit is located in one of the world’s blue zones (where a large percentage of the population lives longer than average) which inspired the name Blue Spirit. While visiting Blue Spirit, you will feel the resonance of a vibrant, inspiring, and restorative energy, because of the rich subtropical environment. This retreat will be a deeply nurturing, profoundly healing, and an unforgettable experience.
Located in one of the world’s longevity hotspots, we chose Blue Spirit for the diversity of its landscapes- gorgeous sprawling beaches, and breathtaking tropical jungles. This location also boasts five different yoga spaces as well as an array of different accommodations. Your stay at Blue Spirit yoga and meditation retreat center includes three delicious consciously prepared gourmet meals a day.
This retreat is an all inclusive seven-night stay, including three meals a day, and twice daily yoga/barre with Emily and Ashley.

Jamie Soule- Barre and Yoga Instructor
About your Hosts
Jamie’s journey to the yoga studio started in 2007 with the classic 90 minute 26 style. She loves the moving meditation, the mental and physical challenge and how she feels after class. She’s practiced a variety of modalities; weight training, vinyasa, hatha, yin, fusion, pilates, barre & more. Eventually she worked up the courage to take barre teacher training in 2017, and started teaching regularly. Jamie has since completed two, 200 hour yoga teacher trainings in The Classic 26, and Vinyasa, and a yin yoga training. She loves the structure of the 26, the flow of vinyasa and the shaking in barre. Jamie strives to make classes that are fun, challenging, and inclusive.
Reviews from Ashley and Jamie’s Previous Retreats
Ashley Wainscott- owner/founder Agape Movement, Barre, and Yoga Instructor
Ashley fell hard for yoga back in 2014 when she took her first 90 minute Hatha class 2 weeks after having her third baby. Yoga allowed her to lean into the flexibility and balance she had growing up as a dancer. In 2017 Ashley completed her Hatha training alongside Jamie, and they've been yoga soul mates ever since. 500 hours of YTT later, Ashley now enjoys teaching classes that are creative, fun, and make everyone feel seen and more connected to themselves and each other.
Ashley and Jamie are mindful with attention to detail. These leaders know how to make you feel comfortable and to motivate you through their yoga classes. Their commitment to caring of others and the earth informs them when they are choosing a retreat location. Absolutely join one of their retreats if you are looking for a chance to find your inner self.
-Carol Spencer-Coons
Ashley and Jamie’s retreat was a life changing week in paradise. My cup feels like it will be forever overflowing. I learned how to be happier and how to make light when life gets heavy. I was surrounded by a group of genuine people, and it doesn’t get much better than that.
-Stephanie Keane
I would highly recommend any retreat led by Ashley and Jaime! I had such a fantastic experience at Playa Viva - it was so much more than I thought it would be. I left refreshed and inspired, with a whole new group of friends. -Wendy Franks
Ashley and Jamie are amazing hosts and will be sure each person is well taken care of. I would be thrilled to be able to retreat with them again! HIGHLY recommended! -Sarah Vogel
