Retreat: Costa Rica
WE ARE SOLD OUT FOR 2023!
Join us for a yoga retreat in Costa Rica on February 26th – March 5th, 2023. We will gather in a lush resort called SoulShine on Playa Avellanas. With two yoga classes in the covered Shala by the pool every day – the morning class will be a little more vigorous and a salute to the Costa Rican sun, the evening practice will be slow and languid to prepare us for sleep.
Our mornings will be spent gathered together exploring and teaching each other. Your afternoons will be yours to go to the beach, relax by the pool or enjoy local excursions. Our experienced cook will ensure that you get a nourishing, plant-focused breakfast. For lunch we will enjoy the resort’s Zagat-rated restaurant. For dinner, we will enjoy Niki’s recipes of delicious, local, and organic cuisine. Our many years of experience running retreats in Costa Rica will ensure that your experience is smooth and relaxing. We can’t wait to host you!
Option to complete a 25 hour Pranayama and Philosophy training in the mornings after breakfast.Â
