Inaugural Wellness Shala Event at Four Seasons Resort Peninsula Papagayo: A Three-Day Celebration of Mind, Body, and Soul

Four Seasons Resort Peninsula Papagayo, Costa Rica is inaugurating the new Wellness Shala with a three-day celebration of holistic well-being set against the breath-taking backdrop of Peninsula Papagayo.

“Shala is the Sanskrit name for ‘home’ and we can’t wait to welcome our community into this sacred space,” says Ian-Robert Ciappara, General Manager of the Resort. “This architectural structure is unlike anything on the Peninsula, and we are thrilled to expand our wellness offerings.”

The kick-off event will be a Drummer Circle Procession on December 21, 2023 from Playa Blana to the Wellness Shala. The rhythmic beats will resonate, drawing people together for a procession to the Wellness Shala. Guests will snake up to the Wellness Shala to arrive just before sunset, setting the stage for an evening of vibrancy and joy.

April May Gardener, an esteemed Alo Yoga Instructor, will lead two Yoga Master Classes, guiding participants through a 90-minute vinyasa flow focused on setting new intentions through the practice of yoga at the Wellness Shala and an evening class celebrating connections, on December  21 at 7:30 am and December 22 at 2:00 pm, respectively.  Additionally, Gardener will host a private event exclusively for Peninsula Papagayo members and Four Seasons Residents, offering an intimate setting for connection and growth.

The three-day celebration marks the launch of the Wellness Shala, a magical and dynamic space within Four Seasons Resort Peninsula Papagayo dedicated to nurturing the mind, body, and soul. This event is a testament to the Resort's commitment to providing guests with unique and transformative experiences that go beyond traditional luxury offerings.

"We are excited to introduce the Wellness Shala and celebrate its launch with a three-day event that brings together music, movement, and mindfulness," says Arnaud Dieutegard, Spa Director at Four Seasons Resort Peninsula Papagayo. "This event is a reflection of our dedication to offering our guests holistic experiences that enhance their overall well-being."
