Costa Rica Retreat – A Mindful Vacation
Pura Vida Friends!
Join us October 7 – 12th for an all-inclusive retreat experience at the Goddess Garden Eco – Resort on the beautiful Caribbean coast of Costa Rica!
From taking time to relax on the beach, decompressing during Classical Hatha Yoga sessions or embarking on an excursion to the Cahuita National Park, this journey will be full of joy and harmony.
The purpose of this retreat is to revive, relax and revitalize. To bring yourself to a state where you experience life more intensely, not just on the surface. The ancient Yogic practices will bring balance, physical strength and flexibility into your system. Each day of the retreat we will be focused on practices which allow you to cleanse and balance the five elements which constitute the human body. We will also offer afternoon activities for the group to bond, explore and experience the beauty of Cahuita.
All levels of yogis are welcome. We will lead practices in a way that meets each practitioner at their own level of comfort. Whether you are brand new to yoga, or an experienced practitioner, you will find both the opportunity to safely challenge yourself and to deeply relax and rejuvenate.
