FEBRUARY 20-27, 2022
Step off the beaten path and join me in Ostional, Costa Rica, a quiet beach town in the Nicoya peninsula. Here endless stretches of white sand beaches abuts lush jungle rainforest. Our retreat venue sits up atop a hill overlooking a river valley that opens up to sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and epic sunsets. Day by day we’ll peel back life’s layers with yoga, community, nature, connection, food, rest and play.
The Region
I 100% believe in the healing and restorative power of nature. I choose retreat locations that offer an immersive natural experience while still enjoying a bit of modern luxury like gourmet meals and flushing toilets ;) Located on the Nicoya peninsula, Ostional is quiet beach town that attracts surfers and adventurous travelers alike. A lush forest frames the long stretch of white sand beaches which has multiple surf breaks, as well spots for swimming, snorkeling, tide pools, SUP and more. While development has increased over the years, there are no high rise buildings, so the area maintains a pristine, natural setting with abundant wildlife. Sea turtles, manta rays, iguanas, sloths, monkeys and many types of birds can be seen at anytime! About 5 miles away is the yoga/surf mecca of Nosara. A long dusty road filled with surf shops, funky cafes and relaxed restaurants. This area is one of the world’s 5 “Blue Zones”, where locals live noticeably longer and happier lives. This laid-back vibe along with rugged jungle landscape and secluded, pristine beaches offers an ideal setting for a true retreat.
The Accommodations
Encompassing more than 50 acres, our property is a mix of wild jungle and manicured tropical gardens with magnificent views all around. Built on top of a hill, 7 Villas are situated through out the property with plenty of lounge spaces for relaxing and soaking up the pristine setting. The pool and dining area have an incredible view of the jungle and ocean beyond. Fire pit and trails through the jungle to beach and waterfalls sure to bring out the adventurer in you!
The Yoga
Yoga will take place in a gorgeous open air studio with a beautiful view of the natural surroundings. Fully stocked with mats and props. Morning practice will be slow-flow, strong and deep, intuitive and intelligent, each class building on each other with time for mediation, pranayama and posture lessons. Evening will be focused on relaxation, with more breath-work, restorative yoga, a sprinkling of deep-stretch and ending with guided deep relaxation.
