Join Matthew Higdon, founder of the Subtle Power Yoga School, and Kasey Hall, founder of Live Ayurveda, for a week of love, work, and play at the world-renowned Blue Spirit Resort nestled in the jungle on the breathtaking coast of Nosara, Costa Rica. 

Your spirit will feel enlivened and your passion for life invigorated as we explore yoga, Ayurveda, meditation and breath work through the eyes of each of the five elements. Experience what it means to have true harmony within and with the world around you;  leave with the tools to keep this connection to Self, purpose, and community for your lifetime.  

Deep relaxation and restoration are yours for the taking. Melt into a seemingly endless, empty beachfront; home to turtles, howler monkeys, and other exotic friends. Walk through groves of mango and coconut trees, explore the lush Costa Rican jungle, surf with locals, and visit town to experience the Pura Vida way of living. 

Acroyoga jam sessions on the beach with your new friends, inversion workshops, slacklining on palm trees, latin dance lessons, and delicious, locally sourced meals will keep our downtime exciting and satiating. 

YTT training hours and CEs are available as part of this retreat.  

All sessions are optional for those looking for deeper relaxation on this beautiful reprieve.
