Join Nicole for an extraordinary journey in the enchanting Costa Rican Jungle.

Over our 5-night stay, immerse yourself in the breathtaking landscapes of Uvita, Costa Rica, and experience a harmonious blend of relaxation, yoga, and adventure.

Nestled near the iconic Whale's Tail, our sanctuary for the week – Flo Retreat Center – offers all the comforts and amenities for a rejuvenating stay. Enjoy the saltwater pool, a fully equipped gym, and scenic walking and hiking trails right from our doorstep.

Our thoughtfully curated itinerary includes a vibrant boat and snorkeling excursion, a tropical farmer's market day in Dominical, some thrilling zip-lining, a visit to the majestic Nauyaca Waterfalls, a soulful Cacao Ceremony, and so much more!

Throughout these adventures, we will connect as a community through daily yoga sessions, allowing us to ground ourselves in the breathtaking natural surroundings. This retreat is designed to renew your sense of adventure, discover new strengths, connect with like-minds, connect with your tribe, and return home feeling rejuvenated and inspired.

My aim is to guide you with care, provide ample space for relaxation, and foster meaningful connections among our group of travelers. Embrace this opportunity to reconnect with nature, deepen your yoga practice, nourish your spirit, and transform your well-being.

I eagerly anticipate sharing this beautiful country with you and embarking on unforgettable yoga adventures together!

After landing in SJO on 3/23/25, getting a lovely night's sleep at the hotel, and enjoying breakfast, we will embark on a day of adventure to the Flo Retreat Center in Uvita - where the real magic begins!

The drive is approximately 3 hours with several opportunities to stop along the way and get a feel for Costa Rica. 

First, we will pause at the Alligator Bridge to watch the gators swim and do some souvenir shopping. If you're feeling hungry, you can grab a snack at the shops as well.

After another hour or so of driving, we will stop for lunch and enjoy our first moments of ocean access! Picture your toes in the water and a fresh coconut in your hands; it simply doesn't get better. 

Lastly, we will continue the last hour of the trip to Flo Retreats where we will have some time to unpack and settle in before our first yoga practice that evening. 

Along with our first practice, we will enjoy a Cacao Ceremony to help us gain clarity, insight and inspiration for the trip ahead.

Dinner will be served after practice and we can start to get excited for our week of exploration together!

Our second morning, we will wake up immersed in the Costa Rican jungle. After some time to have a cup of coffee and get ready for the day, we will start the morning with a yoga practice to both ground and energize. 

After practice, we will enjoy a nourishing breakfast as a group before heading out for the Nauyaca Waterfalls. Nauyaca is a natural reserve with lots of land to explore, hike, swim, and climb.

Our time at Nauyaca will be followed by lunch back at Flo Retreat Center and then some down time to enjoy the pool, gym, or hiking trails nearby. 

After a little rest and recuperation, we will enjoy our second yoga practice of the day to wind down and stretch out sore muscles from our day of exploring.

Lastly, dinner is served and we can continue gathering as a community until bed time! Day three coming your way...

For Day 3, our morning will look very similarly to Day 2 - a nice slow start with time to wake up before a yoga practice surrounded by nature sights and sounds. 

Breakfast will be served post yoga to help us fuel up for a day of fun - imagine plates full of fresh, tropical fruits, homemade breads, savory scrambles and more!

Once we are ready to roll, we embark to a jungle canopy where we will zip line through the jungle for a bird's eye view experience of the surroundings.

If zip lining isn't your jam, there will be a walking option for this adventure day as well!

After an amazing journey of flight, we will regroup and return to the retreat center where massage therapists will have set up tables for guests who wish to add a massage to their retreat experience. 

Lunch will be served as more of a grazing opportunity as we switch out between massage appointments and another afternoon of rest and community. 

Our second yoga class will occur late afternoon in the yoga shala, helping to continue untangling sore muscles, and then dinner will be served!

We will enjoy a night under the stars listening to nature sing and chat about our next day's adventure plans.

I am so excited about Boat Day! Our fourth morning will begin a smidge earlier to make room for all the excitement ahead.

A slightly abbreviated yoga flow will be followed by a light breakfast to get us out the door and over to the Whale's Tail. From there, we depart on a three hour boat adventure with several swimming and snorkeling stops along the way. 

As we sail, there will be snacks available on the boat to keep us hydrated and fueled up for all our fun. 

Post sail, we will have some time (if we want) to hang our a bit more on the beach, swim, and possible surf (not included) some waves. 

After we've gotten enough salt and wind in our hair, we will return back to the center for more snacks, downtime, and perhaps an outfit change. 

Our evening will consist of another yoga practice where we can focus more on play and workshop some fun shapes, another beautiful dinner, and time to connect and reflect on the experience so far as a group. 

One more day of the journey ahead...

On our final day together (I can't believe how fast it's gone), we will have a slow morning with time for an elongated yoga practice, calm breakfast and plenty of time to get ready.

Once we are feeling ready to go, we will head out to the Farmer's Market at Dominical and enjoy a local shopping experience. 

The market will be a great opportunity to grab gifts and souvenirs, as well as, chat with some locals and have an immersive cultural experience. 

After we have gotten all our goodies, we will head back to the center for some time to unload, start the packing process and enjoy some lunch. 

The massage therapists will return to provide services to those who were not able to receive a massage on Day 3.

As we get closer to sunset, we will regroup and head back out to the beach where we will enjoy our last yoga practice together by the sights and sounds of the ocean. 

As the sun goes down, on the day and on our journey together, we will reset our focus and intention as we prepare to reenter our daily lives with a new perspective and rejuvenation. 

Our final dinner will take place back at the retreat center and then we will have the evening to complete our packing for the next day's departure.
