I would LOVE to have you join me in one of my favorite places in the world - Playa Hermosa Costa Rica! I have been leading retreats to this area of Costa Rica since 2014, and it is truly the best. It is literally my favorite place in the world. Our villa is right on the beach, and you hear the waves all the time. It is pure heaven as your body syncs back up with nature. We basically live outside - we yoga outside, we eat outside, we hang out in the multiple lounge areas… all outside! The rooms are simple and sweet, with a private bathroom for each room, and A/C. We spend time just looking at the ocean, walking the beach, reconnecting with nature and ourselves. AND! There are amazing and beautiful birds, including my fave the Macaw Parrot!

Playa Hermosa is a sleepy little beach town about 10 minutes driving from the larger beach town of Jaco, on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. Our private villa is located mere steps from the ocean sand. Fall asleep to the soothing sound of waves, wake up and salute the sun with yoga! Eat a delish breakfast from our private chef - my partner Ragen! If you know Ragen, you know the man can cook - and is cautious with all food sensitivities.

After breakfast, lounge at the pool, read a book, go for a beach stroll, hang out at one of the cute little smoothie/beach bars within walking distance, head into Jaco for some shopping, schedule a surfing lesson, zip line or other excursion - the afternoons are yours to do what you wish!

We will gather back for dinner and an evening yoga, most likely restorative, slow flow/wind down, a deep stretch class, or some meditation. Because we will have such an intimate group, I will be able to tailor the classes to the wants/needs of everyone :)

Sample Schedule:

Friday Feb 14

Arrive to SJO Airport. Everyone will be staying at the same hotel by the airport (included in your retreat price) the night of Feb 14 so that the whole group can arrive, settle in, get a good night’s sleep, and be ready to depart the next morning for the beach!

Saturday Feb 15

Take the private group shuttle to our Villa by the Sea, arriving with the whole day ahead of you to settle in, explore, and relax with the sound of the waves. Lunch will be provided this day, and we will have our opening yoga class after sunset at 6pm, with dinner shortly after. There is also a fun surf competition on Saturdays that you can see from our villa!

Sunday Feb 16 >>> Wednesday Feb 19

Everyday pretty much starts with fruit + coffee (or tea!), yoga class, breakfast and then whatever the day’s activities will be. These might include: surfing (it is SO FUN, and our instructors are amazing), a horseback riding tour through the jungle to a natural mud bath, a trip into the local beach town of Jaco for some souvenir shopping, a trip to the Rainmaker Forest, which is a beautiful hike with waterfalls, swimming pools, and hanging bridges, an ocean-side massage, Ziplining through the canopy, White Water Rafting on the rio, or just relaxing on the beach. There is also a really awesome Cacao Ceremony experience from my teachers Lisa and Flori. Sunset every night (because I love it so much), followed by meditation/yoga, and then a delish dinner by our private chef Ragen.

Feb 20 - Depart Villa for SJO airport
