WELCOME TO JOY OF LIFE
¡Hello, I hope you are feeling fabulous today!
My name is Marian Paniagua. I am a Yoga instructor, Reiki practitioner, ceremonialist, artisan and Moon Dancer from Costa Rica. I treasure mother nature, joy and beauty, and It is with great love and respect that I welcome you and thank you for choosing me to be your guide during the time we spend together.
When you are in Costa Rica you experience a special feeling of connection with this land and mother nature, that’s your body remembering the power and beauty you carry inside.
“AS WITHIN, SO WITHOUT”
joy is your natural state of being
When I first started practicing yoga, what kept calling me back to the mat was the bright and unmistakable feeling of authentic joy and eas after each practice. It looked like yoga was the cause of my joy but what I found as my practice gained depth is that I am joy, I am love and I am the source of all the beauty in my life. Yoga is the gentle teacher that clears the mind and expands the electromagnetic field of the heart, it’s a practice the reminds you that your mind, body, spirit and mother nature are one.
I am delighted to share this path with you too.
i am life. i am joy. i am love

Many come to Costa Rica in search of a deeper connection to this land and to experience a feeling of oneness with the earth. Many come engaged in a spiritual quest or a healing process with a deep knowing that they will find peace and rest to support their path in a graceful way. And like so many, they visit Costa Rica with the intention to bask in her beauty and pureness. Mother Nature is the most powerful medicine and the wisest teacher, it will renew you and nurture in every aspect of your life: relationships, self care, business and any in creative process.
That light and authenticity that emanates from the eyes of the locals and the honesty in their smile is part of the sacred encounter that takes place here in this land. I like to say that together with nature we are mirroring back to every visitor their primordial essence which is joy, love, abundance, beauty and peace.
It is with great honour that I get to support and hold space for people on their spiritual journey of self discovery and self adoration. With eargerness I look forward to share my knowledge and wisdom about Costa Rica and transformational practices like yoga, Reiki Therapy, mindful meditation, conscious communication, sacred fire, ceremony and my shamanic path, which gave me the tools to recognise and feel all the information and guidance that comes from the earth, the elements and life.
I am blessed to be born in Guanacaste by the ocean and to have a lifetime of roots that have grown in this region. The area where I live is known as a “Blue Zone” in the world - a place where humans experience more life and prosperity.
Whether you are walking your path alone, with friends and family or leading a retreat, I am happy to receive all that you are and guide you to the places, offerings, events and experiences that will transform you in the most profound way, ensuring your individual journey or retreat will run smoothly, experiencing all the best that this land has to offer.
The secrets of my native lands are rich and I am here to share them with you. If you are in search of an authentic Costa Rican retreat experience and the support to make your time smooth and meaningful, then I invite you to connect with me!
