Accommodations

The retreat center’s name translates as “Love from the Ancient Forest.” It is nestled in an oasis of native plants and fruit trees, nourished by a magnificent waterfall in the Sacred Valley of Peru. This lovely spot is in the Andes Mountains and is home to the twelve mountains known as Apus—“luminous beings.” Those who come to the center have the opportunity to commune directly with these mountains, as well as with the local curanderos and pacos (healers), who engage with us for ritual and Despacho ceremony.

The guests at this center enjoy delicious vegetarian and vegan meals with locally grown and lovingly prepared ingredients. Each guestroom is a reflection of the Peruvian culture of the Sacred Valley. The entire center embodies kindness, love, and wholeness that seem to permeate the magical place.

Nasreen Allen

Nasreen’s journey began with a serendipitous find: a yoga book tucked away in her grandparents’ basement. What started as childhood curiosity blossomed into a 20-year personal practice and a decade-long career as a dedicated teacher and Holistic Health Coach. With a BA in Holistic Health, Nasreen bridges the gap between ancient tradition and modern well-being.

While her roots are in the discipline of Ashtanga, Nasreen’s practice has evolved into a soulful, diverse tapestry. Whether she is leading a fluid Vinyasa, a grounding Yin session, or a supportive Prenatal class, her teaching style is defined by a signature lightheartedness. She believes that while the practice is deep, it doesn’t always have to be “serious.” Nasreen creates a welcoming space where movement is a joyful celebration, seamlessly integrating breathwork and meditation into every asana.

Beyond the physical, Nasreen is a guide for the inner landscape. She is passionate about helping others unlock their potential and manage the stressors of modern life. By incorporating specialized techniques like Tapping (EFT) and Yoga Nidra, she offers her students tools for profound emotional release and deep relaxation that last long after they leave the mat.

Off the mat, Nasreen “walks the talk” of a holistic lifestyle. You’ll find her traveling, lost in a podcast, or recharging in nature with her family. Her personal routine—a mix of yoga, gym sessions, and journaling—reflects her mission: to help you reconnect with your body and mind to cultivate a well-being that extends into every corner of your life.

Testimonials

House of RhythOM and Nasreen and My experience at this yoga retreat in Costa Rica was truly life-changing. From the moment I arrived, I felt held, supported, and deeply connected—to myself, to nature, and to the incredible community around me. The setting was breathtaking: lush jungle, calming ocean air, and a sense of peace that instantly slowed everything down.

The yoga classes were thoughtfully guided and accessible, yet deeply transformative. Each session felt intentional, balancing physical challenge with mindfulness and restoration. The instructors were knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely invested in everyone’s journey.

Beyond the yoga, the food was nourishing and delicious, the accommodations were comfortable and grounding, and the overall energy of the retreat was pure magic. I left feeling refreshed, inspired, and more aligned than I’ve felt in a long time.

I would wholeheartedly recommend this retreat to anyone seeking renewal, clarity, and a deeper connection to themselves in one of the most beautiful places on Earth.” – Michelle Rodriguez

“Nasreen is one of my favorite teachers in this world. I would gladly follow her to any retreat location! She is warm, welcoming, empowering and has clear and expert guidance when it comes to movement. She helps you find that space between effort and ease, which allows for exploration and transcendence. Costa Rica itself is a once in a lifetime type location. The beauty, the ocean, the richness of the people is all in the name! But the true blessing of such an experience is who you find; bits more of your Self. I seek more of Nasreen and her yoga gems in Peru! Regardless of the journey life has you on, this is one stop I’d be sure to make!” – Aja Lynch

“My retreat experience in Costa Rica was the very definition of “Once in a lifetime.” It was an unforgettable week with Nasreen and the rest of our group, practicing yoga with an ocean view, eating incredible food, meeting amazing people, and witnessing the natural beauty of Santa Teresa. The resort felt like a secret rainforest getaway. It was pure bliss to be just steps from the ocean at any moment;  the open air yoga studio even had a full view of the beach! Nasreen guided us through daily flows which personally helped me tap into my gratitude for the whole experience. Our group also had opportunities to share other activities such as a drum circle and cacao ceremony. I felt like every moment nourished my soul. Outside of the resort, I had the chance to explore the beach town, go birdwatching, and our group also took part in a guided hike through a nature preserve. I loved every bit of this experience, and sometimes wish I could do it all over again. It’s difficult to put the entire retreat experience into words, but it was truly an adventure that I will never forget.” – William Smith

“​​My experience at House of RhythOM’s inaugural yoga retreat in Costa Rica in 2023 was truly unforgettable. The retreat venue itself was perfection – an inspiring blend of serene yoga spaces, abundant spa and wellness offerings, breathtaking views, and easy access to beautiful beaches for relaxation and exploration. Every corner of the property felt intentionally aligned with healing and restoration.  The yoga classes were thoughtfully designed offering a harmonious mix of movement, meditation, breath awareness, and meaningful self reflection throughout the week. Each session felt intentional and grounded, creating a rhythm that supported both personal growth and collective connection.  Nasreen is an exceptional retreat leader. Her warmth, presence, and deep care for each participant shaped the experience in such a special way. She carefully balanced the needs of the group with the unique journeys of each individual, creating an environment where everyone felt seen, supported, and uplifted.

I also loved the added touches – from the enriching day trip to the magical moonlight ritual hosted with local community members. These experiences added depth and cultural connection, elevating the retreat beyond yoga and into something truly soulful.

This retreat was restorative, inspiring, and beautifully curated. I left with a full heart, a clear mind, in a deep sense of gratitude. I would join House of RhythOM again in a heartbeat.” – Rebecca Hurst

“I went on the inaugural trip to Santa Teresa in Costa Rica in 2023. It was absolutely lovely! Nasreen did a great job securing a beautiful location with private bungalows nested below the canopy of the tropical forest but also next to the beach. Every meal was delicious, clean, and healthy, and the on-site spa was wonderful. Additionally, there was a morning flow and afternoon / evening flow with other activities built in to maintain a strong community, while also providing time to ourselves to explore Santa Teresa independently if desired. Overall, the trip was a relaxing, healthy, and active retreat. I highly recommend Nasreen as she takes the utmost care to ensure every detail is covered and safety is number one.” – Alexis Mast
