I am very excited to be taking a yoga group to beautiful Costa Rica, a place I've always wanted to explore. Nereus Retreat Center looks incredibly beautiful and is wildlife-filled, situated in the jungle but also near the beach. The rooms are spacious with great beds, screens in the windows, and air conditioning. The bugs shouldn't be too bad that time of year, it’s the dry season. Expect to see humpback whales, dolphins, sea turtles, monkeys, red Macaw parrots, and many more beautiful plants and animals where we are staying. The Osa Peninsula is home to more than 50% of Costa Rica's plant and animal species. The food will be a highlight of the trip—everything they make is already gluten and soy-free and very healthy/local. Yum! They even have a bar on site for specialty cocktails, wine, and gluten free beer. That is a separate cost (cash pay or have a card on file with them). There is a separate, fully stocked yoga shala so you won’t need to bring any props except a tennis ball. On the days we don’t have an excursion, I’ll teach 2 hours in the morning and 1 hour in the afternoon with my usual blend of active and restorative yoga, pilates, myofascial release, and somatics. Included in the fee is a tour to the Corcovado National Park (a boat ride, then a hike on flat-ish ground with good trails) where we will track tapirs, sloths and toucans. It’s one of the most biodiverse national parks on the planet. It’s a 5 am to 3 pm excursion, and I’ll teach a one hour somatics class when we return in the afternoon. One morning will be free so you can do something special: a kayak tour through the mangroves, a snorkel trip, a massage with a talented massage therapist, or just stay on site and luxuriate. We’ll have a 1.5 hour practice that afternoon. You can get massages on the other days as well, during our breaks. You’ll need to bring cash (US dollars) for any of those services/excursions.
