The 2025 retreat with Hometown Sweat was amazing - even better than I had hoped. Pura Vida Retreat and Spa in Costa Rica was a wonderful location. The food was terrific and plentiful with not a single menu repeat. The staff were incredibly attentive to every detail. The facilities were beautiful. And the views…wow!
The most important part, the classes, were simply perfect. I went into the week unsure as to whether I would have the endurance to participate fully, and the structure of the itinerary allowed me to do it all! The combination of original hot yoga, vinyasa flow, and HIIT were well-scheduled to provide just the right amount of variety. Sprinkled in were yoga Nidra and a workshop for HIIT that were super helpful. Maria and Sammi led excellent classes and both made themselves available for questions and coaching, which I greatly appreciated.
All in all this was an unforgettable experience that helped me grow enormously with my practice. Thank you to amaría and Sammi for leading, and Mary for planning such a wonderful event. I’m looking forward to the next one.
I can't say enough about how amazing this experience was! Christina is a seasoned teacher with patience and compassion. Her knowledge and artful instruction helped me learn the principles of yoga teaching. I left the training fully prepared and confident to lead a class. This program was also competitively priced and held over the weekend so it was a great option for people who work during the week. I highly recommend this training for anyone interested in teaching yoga or strengthening their current practice.
