About

Playa Avellanas

Only 90 minutes from the Liberia international airport (LIR), Playa Avellanas is one of Costa Rica’s most treasured beaches. Located in the Province of Guanacaste, known for its incredible weather, perfect waves and immense diversity of plants and animals. The white sand, turquoise water and friendly waves create the perfect combination for surfers of all levels as well as beach goers that enjoy swimming in her warm waters. It’s no wonder Avellanas is a favorite amongst locals and travelers. This is the ideal location to retreat to move your soul, body and mind.

About SoulShine

SoulShine is not a place, it’s a state of mind.

SoulShine has been delivering good vibes to Playa Avellanas since 2020; a beautiful piece of heaven where everything is made with love. Enjoy our refreshing, crystal clear pool, lush tropical gardens, and take a short walk to the pristine beach, with waves all year round and memorable sunsets.

​Yoga, Breathwork

& Meditation

During the Move Your Soul retreat, we will be practicing a style of yoga I have coined called "Yoga for Water(wo)man". It is an all-level practice joining movement with breath to support you in and out of the water, as well as in everyday life. The main yoga styles used in Yoga for Water(wo)man are Hatha and Vinyasa. Hatha is a slower paced practice with longer, static holds in each asana, helping to still our minds and aid in restoring our bodies. Vinyasa is a more invigorating practice, inviting in a flow state that connects the movement with the breath - just like the tides of the ocean! Following each class is a guided meditation that will help relax your mind, body, and soul. Looking forward to yog with you!

The breathwork that we will be practicing is from the Pause method. Breathwork is an intentional practice with incredible benefits such as relieving stress, increasing your energy, resetting your nervous system, releasing blockages by moving stagnant energy, increased mind/body connection, and so much more! Each breathwork session will be tailored to the energy & needs of the group, being safely guided through a transformative journey that will surely leave an impression in your life. Let's breathe together!

Surfing

Avellanas has some of the best quality surf anywhere in the country; moreover, it may be one of the most versatile waves because of its perfect shape, sand bottom and multiple surf breaks. These surf breaks truly accommodate all levels of surfers from the first timer to the highly advanced individuals. All equipment will be provided for the surf sessions unless you want to bring your own board. We have a great team of instructors and we also document each session in 4k video, providing you with great feedback to improve your surfing and high quality media for your memories.

Food

The all-inclusive retreat features the best food Playa Avellanas has to offer. The mouthwatering, daily breakfast at SoulShine is quite literally the best brunch you will ever have. All dishes are prepared from scratch & with love, using fresh ingredients following authentic Middle Eastern recipes. Lunches and dinners are equally as mouthwatering from restaurants that use fresh, locally sourced ingredients. A few of the standout meals feature a farm-to-table dinner at La Senda prepared by the Cala Luna, Le Cordon Bleu trained chef using vegetables, fruits & herbs from the on-site La Senda farm. Authentic Italian cuisine from Il Rustico with pastas made in-house and vegetables from their private garden. As well as a local Tico gastro experience with flavors from Nicoya’s Blue Zone region. These experiences are just a taste of the delicious meals that will nourish your body for the duration of the retreat. The food is so good, it will be one of the highlights of your time at the Move Your Soul retreat!

Hi! I'm Kirstyn and I'm soul excited you have interest in joining the Move Your Soul retreat! My mission in life is to feel good and help others do the same. I am a lifelong mover, beginning dance of all kinds at the age of three. For 16 years, I danced many forms of dance such as ballet, pointe, lyrical, tap, jazz, and baton, just to name a few! Since 2010, I began pole dancing which has allowed me to teach, compete, and perform all around the world. In 2019, I received my 200-RYT in Hatha and Vinyasa yoga from Oceanic Yoga in Goa, India. After practicing breathwork for several years, in 2023 I enrolled in the Pause Breathwork facilitator program with graduation in November 2023. I am also the founder of Move Your Wellness, a vision centered around movement of the body, breath, and mind. I currently reside in Costa Rica where I teach yoga and breathwork.

Clay

Hola! I’m Clay McCutcheon, the surf director and coordinator for this amazing retreat and I’ve been traveling and surfing in Costa Rica since 2003. I’ve been living full-time in the Playa Avellanas area for almost a decade and during that time I’ve worked as a professional surf guide, videographer and created Walk On Water Adventures & Media.

I have been a Robert August team rider for 20 years and competed as a professional long boarder since that time. I have a deep understanding of surf equipment as well as the art of surfing, which are both important for a surfers progression.

My goals are simple, sharing my local knowledge and curating unforgettable experiences in and out of the water for my guests.
