Living Well:
A Nosara Yoga Retreat

4-11 April 2026

About 
The Well

Untitled (1000 × 1000 px).png

The Well is a safe space for you to get to know yourself better and have full permission to be yourself. Whether you are coming for yoga, meditation, a workshop or treatment, you can always find a sense of wellness at the Well.

​​

Founded by two women passionate about community and movement, the Well was created to unify those passions under one roof and give it a home to grow.

​​

Why ‘The Well’? Well, we see it as a space where you can come to make a wish. To fill up your cup. To “re-source” yourself and get grounded. To feel a sense of wellness that leaves you wanting to come back time and time again. It’s also a place where the community meets and grows together.

The Well is a place to practice yoga, Pilates, Essentrics™, host or attend a workshop on wellness, purchase yoga props (we are an official Manduka reseller!), and gather as a community.

 

See you on your mat!

Gentle Yoga, Slow & Fire Flow 

Jaime Moar

she/her/hers

Jaime was born and raised in Knowlton where she now co-owns Marina Knowlton with her father. She began teaching yoga in 2009 after completing her first training, Yoga for the Special Child, and quickly fell in love with sharing movement with people of all ages and abilities. Since then, she has added trainings in Hatha, Prana Flow, Yin Yoga, and Yoga at the Workplace, always with a focus on accessibility and connection. 

Recently trained as a reformer Pilates teacher, Jaime brings the same curiosity and care to her Pilates classes. Whether she’s teaching yoga or Pilates, her favourite part is helping people get to know themselves better by tuning into what their bodies need in the moment. She often weaves themes like creativity, intention, and freedom into her classes to spark deeper self-awareness and joy.

Essentrics

Virginie Roy

she/her/hers

Virginie discovered the magnificent Essentrics method in 2017-2018 as a client. Being a massage therapist, good posture and solid but flexible stabilizing muscles have always been important in her eyes. Shortly after, I also wanted to teach classes so that even more people would know this training method. “Being in movement” is the key to a healthy life.

    Marie Neige Chatelain

    she/her/hers

    Marie Neige has lived many “lives” along her path. From the performing arts to language studies, from massage therapy to Ayurveda and meditation, one thread remains constant. Each career has led her to teach, and each teaching has brought her back to being a student.
