About this trip
We cordially invite you to join us for a 6-night, 7-day retreat in beautiful Nosara, Costa Rica. Known as the yoga capital of Costa Rica, Nosara is a paradise for those wanting to relax, recharge, and reconnect in this sultry seaside community. We will be staying at the beautiful, boutique Ocean Breeze hotel. The best part — we will have it all to ourselves!
There will be daily yoga/meditation available with instructors Alyssa Pflug and Jess Johnson, featuring classes in a variety of styles including Vinyasa, Yin, restorative, and meditation. In addition, we will have two yoga classes with a guest instructor to get a little taste of Nosara yoga. These classes will be designed to move and stretch your body, and connect you to self, one another, and place.
In addition, the schedule has ample time for reading, enjoying the facilities (the infinity pool, the hot tub, and the small onsite gym), exploring the beaches around Nosara and Guiones, visiting local markets, and participating in optional activities such as bodywork, SUPing in the rivers, surfing lessons, kayaking mangrove tours, Spanish lessons, dance classes, and beautiful beach walks!
We will have a private chef who creates beautiful breakfasts and dinners that are a combination of local and international cuisine, using fresh, locally-sourced food. They can accommodate vegetarian, pescatarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, and most allergies. Lunches, smoothies, juices, alcoholic beverages, other drinks, and snacks are on your own. You can choose from a number of nearby restaurants and shops.
Your retreat will be guided by Viva Adventures guide, Adrianne Chandra Huff, who has called Costa Rica home for the last 14 years. Adrianne is Wilderness First Responder certified, and there to help with any and all onsite details.
