The Costa Rica Retreat is just around the corner (April 24 – May 1)! I’m excited about going to the happiest country in the world for some high caliber R & R.
My co-facilitator, Tracy Carruth, and I envision a retreat experience filled with lots of time for chilling out, engaging your creative spirit, honoring the wisdom of your body, pampering yourself with divine spa treatments and healthy cuisine, and going on adventurous eco excursions.
I’m happy to announce that 22 CEUs are available for Yoga teachers through Yoga Alliance! What a fun way to earn those CEUs, not to mention a possible tax write off for the trip.
If you haven’t visited the site for Pura Vida Spa and Resort, I highly recommend taking a peek. The beautiful grounds are quite alluring. Be sure to check out the spa treatments and eco tours. Pure Beauty!
One of the gifts of going on a retreat, especially to a foreign country, is to get out of your habitual routine and to truly let yourself rejuvenate on all levels of your being. Pure Renewal!
Tracy and I have put together a daily schedule. Our intention is to provide flexible options for yoga and expressive arts classes as well as to take full advantage of the eco excursions and spa treatments. Pure Bliss!
No previous experience in yoga or the expressive arts is necessary, just bring your desire to play!
