Let me guide you back into Heart Centered Living 

Om Shanti , I'm Jowana

Founder of The Yoga Sanctuary • Retreat Leader • Yogic Living Guide • Reiki Practitioner • Sacred Space Keeper

Welcome. I’m so glad you found your way here.

I created The Yoga Sanctuary in Costa Rica as a living prayer — a space to remember, reconnect, and return to the heart. Everything I share comes from my own journey of choosing to live life more slowly, more intentionally, and more rooted in love.

After becoming a mother at 19, I moved to Costa Rica to step out of survival mode and into something more soulful. I didn’t have a map — just a deep knowing that there was more to life. Over the years, I’ve built my dream life from the inside out, and now I guide others who are ready to do the same.

My practice blends yogic philosophy, nature-based healing, energy work, and devotion. I hold a 200-hour yoga certification from Zen Hot Yoga in Virginia, and a 300-hour advanced training from Peru. I’m also a certified Reiki practitioner, Thai massage instructor, and a woman who’s been lovingly walking with the plants — learning their ways, their wisdom, and their medicine through observing and quiet listening.

Whether I’m leading a retreat, preparing cacao, teaching yogic lifestyle, or simply walking the land here, my prayer is the same: that you feel safe enough to soften… and empowered enough to rise.

If you're longing to live from your heart, create rhythm in your life, and remember who you really are — I’m here to walk with you.

My yoga classes don’t just take place on the mat. They are rooted in the belief that yoga is a way of living, a way of seeing, and a way of being with ourselves.

Together, we go beyond the poses and gently explore what your life is asking of you. We take time to notice the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, find where breath is missing, and open space for healing and realignment , both physically and energetically.

Each session is a space for truth, for stillness, and for remembering. Whether we are moving through asana, sitting in silence, or simply inquiring into the heart, this is yoga as life practice.
