Lana, Owner of Luna Lodge
“I have been doing yoga for over 34 years and teaching for over 24 years. Yoga has truly saved my life, physically, mentally and spiritually. I could never have built my Lodge if I had not had yoga in my life.

WELLNESS VACATION AT LUNA LODGE
DAILY YOGA
Yoga, derived from the Sanskrit word “union,” serves as a powerful catalyst for aligning the body, mind, and soul. It encompasses both a scientific approach and an art form, offering a transformative journey of self-discovery.
MORE ON DAILY YOGA
At Luna Lodge, we perceive yoga as an active intelligence that awakens the entirety of your being, bringing you into the present moment—the most profound place to exist. The practice of yoga encourages a harmonious relationship between the mind, breath, and body. By cultivating awareness and control over the breath, you gain the ability to regulate and influence the state of your mind and body, and vice versa.
REIKI
The term “Reiki” derives from the combination of two Japanese words: Rei, signifying a supernatural force or spiritual intelligence, and Ki (qi), denoting “life energy.” Translated as “universal life force energy,” Reiki is a gentle yet potent form of energy work that harnesses spiritually guided life force energy and universal light. Unlike an intellectual pursuit, Reiki emanates from the heart.
MORE ON LUNA REIKI
Within Luna Lodge’s Wellness Center, Reiki stands as one of the most effective means of holistic self-care. This spiritual Japanese healing practice, whether applied through hands-on or distant sessions, facilitates not only physical relaxation but also mental, emotional, and spiritual repose. With a single session, your energetic system commences the process of restoring balance, leading you towards a profound sense of inner peace. Reiki aids in alleviating pain, tension, and stress, creating an overall sense of well-being.
SHAMANIC REIKI
At the Wellness Center, Shamanism and Reiki work together very well because they are both spiritual modalities. They complement each other because they both balance and harmonize the subtle body. Reiki is working through the heart.
MORE ON SHAMANIC REIKI
Shamanism is founded on the view that all life, not just human life, has consciousness.
The intelligence that infuses life empowers the shaman to transmute disease and harmonize imbalance. The truths of both Shamanism and Reiki are discovered through direct personal relationships. As a Healer one can intuitively understand that the Spirit world interfaces with ours and everything within it can be communicated and interacted with.
FOREST BATHING (SHINRIN-YOKU)
At the Osa Wellness Center, we believe that nature serves as the ultimate healer, and the state of your mind profoundly influences your overall well-being. Immersing yourself in nature allows you to forge a deep connection with yourself and others, as it reflects the essence of who you are.
MORE ON FOREST BATHING
Nature holds the key to unlocking your true health and happiness, as it rekindles a sense of peace within you and awakens your senses.
When you embrace the beauty of nature, it subtly restores a sense of tranquility to your life, often without you even realizing it. The healing power of nature has a remarkable way of bringing calmness and balance to your being. It acts as a soothing balm that can effortlessly guide you back to the present moment, which is the very essence of true existence.
In the present moment, you discover a profound sense of presence and clarity. Nature serves as a catalyst, gently reminding you to be fully present and engaged in the here and now. By immersing yourself in the natural world, you tap into its inherent wisdom and the profound peace it offers.
“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better”.
Albert Einstein
SOUND THERAPY
At the Osa Wellness Center, sound holds a pivotal role in our offerings, for it is a powerful form of energy work that allows us to connect with the vibrational essence of the body. Sound Healing represents a return to ancient cultural practices that harness the potency of chants, singing bowls, and various instruments to restore health and alleviate discomfort.
MORE ON SOUND THERAPY
At the Osa Wellness Center, we invite you to embrace the transformative potential of Sound Healing. Allow the power of sound to resonate within you, guiding you towards healing, restoration, and a deeper connection with the universal energy that permeates all of existence. Experience the miracles that unfold when we tap into this profound energy and witness the transformative impact it can have on our lives.
“A person does not hear sound only through the ears; they hear sound through every pore of the body. It permeates the entire being, and according to its particular influence, either slows or quickens the rhythm of the blood circulation; it either awakens or soothes the nervous system.”
Hazrat Inayat Khan
TAROT READING WITH LANA
We are thrilled to introduce a captivating addition to the Osa Wellness Center: Tarot. The Tarot serves as a profound symbolic map of consciousness, encompassing the intricate tapestry of our spiritual and practical journey through life.
MORE ON TAROT READING

Join us every morning after yoga for a cup of cacao out in front of the main restaurant overlooking the Osa rainforest.
CACAO CEREMONY
The wisdom of ancient civilizations, such as the Aztecs and Mayans, recognized the power of Cacao ceremonies, a tradition that modern science now validates.
MORE ON OUR CACAO CEREMONY
Cacao, the sacred seed that forms the foundation of chocolate, holds a myriad of health benefits. Beyond its medicinal properties, Cacao was traditionally consumed for spiritual awakening and creative inspiration. Recent scientific studies highlight the remarkable health advantages derived from a cup of pure cacao. Within its beans lie a wealth of vitamins, minerals, and potent antioxidants. Indulging in cacao triggers the release of endorphins, promoting a sense of well-being, while also enhancing blood circulation. Thus, during ceremonial gatherings, it facilitates a natural euphoric state, elevating the experience.
Join us in embracing the timeless tradition of Cacao ceremonies, where ancient wisdom intertwines with modern understanding. Experience the profound effects of pure cacao as it nourishes your body, uplifts your spirit, and encourages a deeper connection to yourself and the world around you.
The Osa Wellness Center
Introducing the new Lunar Effects Experience. Join us on the full moon at Luna Lodge, Osa Peninsula.
THE FULL MOON EXPERIENCE
THE LUNAR CALENDAR
The early Native Americans had a unique way of tracking time, distinct from the Julian or Gregorian calendar. Instead, many tribes relied on observing the natural rhythms of the seasons and lunar months.
BLUE MOON, BLACK MOON & SUPER MOON
Within the lunar calendar, there are fascinating phenomena that capture our imagination:
Blue Moon – Occasionally, two full moons occur within the same calendar month. The first full moon retains its traditional name associated with that month, while the second full moon is known as a Blue Moon. Blue Moons grace the sky approximately every 2½ years, adding a touch of celestial magic to our nights.
Black Moon – In contrast to the Blue Moon, the term Black Moon refers to a month that lacks a full moon altogether. This phenomenon can only transpire in February, as the lunar month, lasting about 29.5 days, exceeds the number of days in the calendar month (28 or 29 days). The absence of a full moon in February evokes a sense of mystery and invites us to embrace the hidden depths of darkness.
SuperMoon – A SuperMoon occurs when the moon reaches its closest point to Earth in its orbit. While astronomers typically use the terms “perigee syzygy” or “perigee full moon,” the popular term SuperMoon captures the awe-inspiring proximity and magnificence of the moon as it looms large in the night sky. It is a time when the moon’s radiance captivates our hearts and encourages us to gaze upon the wonders of the universe.
Within the lunar calendar, these celestial occurrences add a touch of enchantment, connecting us to the cycles of nature and the vast cosmic dance above. Embrace the wonders of the Blue Moon, marvel at the intrigue of the Black Moon, and bask in the luminous presence of the SuperMoon. Let the celestial rhythms guide you as you explore the mysteries and beauty of the natural world.
