The founder of Sona Shala and a somatic-based therapist, yoga teacher, and sound practitioner specializing in nervous system regulation and integrative healing. She holds space through a blend of clinical insight, earth-centered ritual, and trauma-informed presence.

Her work invites participants to move slowly, listen inwardly, and reconnect with the parts of themselves that have long been asking to be heard.
Details of this retreat
5 Days / 5 Nights — A Dance with Duality: Yoga, Somatic Practices, Sound Healing, Elemental Rituals & Blue Zone Cuisine
You are invited to experience the essence of duality for six days and five nights at Salvatierra Beachfront Hotel, located in one of the world’s most beautiful Blue Zones — Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula. Nestled between jungle and sea with spectacular ocean-view cabinas, this retreat invites you to step away from the noise of everyday life and soften into the rhythm of opposites: fire and water, movement and stillness, expansion and release.
Guided by Sonali Krish, LPC-A of Sona Shala, this immersive experience blends yoga, somatic practices, sound healing, and elemental ritual with the wisdom of the nervous system and the natural world.
We are joined by two guest practitioners: Dr. James Jacques, D.C., offering alignment adjustments and embodied anatomy education, and Favi Parilla, offering Reiki, tarot, and spiritual reflection.
Each day invites you deeper into the dance between activation and rest, strength and surrender, the sun’s warmth and the moon’s cool glow.
In this space between, balance begins. Together, we’ll remember what it feels like to belong — to our bodies, to the earth, and to each other.
