Costa Rica – The Art & Practice of the Yoga of Gratitude
November 18 – December 2, 2015
a Yoga, Art & Surfing Vacation (ON CLOUD NINE!) with Erika Faith Calig & family, PLUS Special Guests!
Beautiful ocean views, jungle living and rest await you at our favorite oasis! We’ll experience daily yoga, beach time, restfulness and rejuvenation ~ a magical feeling away from the craziness of civilization. Iguanas, coatis, howler monkeys and colorful birds are a common sight. Sunrises and sunsets from our private villa are beyond stunning. A short walk away is Playa Pelada: a quiet, beautiful beach with tidepools and serene views of the sunset. Just a few miles south: Playa Guionnes, a lively beach for shell shopping, horseback riding, sand play, long walks and (for the surfers, boogie boarders and body surfing fans) the most consistent well-formed waves in Costa Rica. Also nearby: zip lining adventures, quad rentals (miles of dirt roads to explore), kayaking & SUP (Stand Up Paddling) on the river plus plenty of local artistic flavor. Every year we have also been lucky enough to enjoy the sea turtles, either hatching or watching the mamas laying their eggs at Playa Ostinal. There are always opportunities to experience miracles on our retreat! Our site and schedule is full of WOW!
