Hi there ❤️
I'm honored to share more about this Costa Rica Yoga + Surf Retreat with you.
For me, Costa Rica is one of those magical gem places you visit, and part of the sweetness of that place stays with you forever. The kindness, purity, and vitality of the people and the land resonated deeply with me when I visited in my early 20s. The prana (life force energy) is so rich here. The mountains and cliffs meeting the ocean, the pristine jungle and the commitment to preserving the land, and the feeling of safety and ease to explore a place that still feels untouched and beautifully rugged. Over the last couple years I've been feeling called to return here and reconnect to this space while sharing in the immense beauty of a yoga retreat at Blue Osa, a beautiful, luxury eco-resort.
A quick note about yoga retreats! In case you haven't been on one with me, or on one before. I have lead about 15 retreats over the past 6 years, and every single time I arrive I am thank myself over and over again for carving out time and space for what really feels like a sacred ritual of taking a week each year to dedicate to daily practice, rest, room for spontaneous adventure, deeply nourishing food, movement, and of course community of like-minded practitioners seeking to elevate ourselves not only to reconnect to the joy, bliss and freedom that is available to us in each moment, but also because we understand that filling our own cups back up allows us to be of great service to our family, friends and the world.
The foundations of my retreats are:
Theme of this retreat: While all retreats reveal their magic in the moment, my intention or theme for this retreat is around centering in ourselves and all that is possible now. Over the last couple years, our sense of what's possible has shifted, likely a few times. This trip is a really special opportunity to reawaken and reimagine all that is possible for us, starting with our health and being in an environment that nourishes the heart, mind, body and spirit.
As a dedicated student of yoga for over a decade, I truly believe that nourishing ourselves nourishes all life. Investing time and energy back into ourselves is essential to remember we are not only here to be of service, but to know ourselves as divine and worthy of receiving as well. We will use the yogic philosophy of the 8 limbs of yoga as a foundational teaching of this retreat, and explore how we can use the limbs to experience the joy of the inner most self, and express that in our being. We will also have a couple afternoon workshops on invoking possibility, learning energy tools and yoga philosophy that support clear and intuitive visioning. This material is deep and rich and I reserve for retreats when we have time and space to dive in.
Yoga Practice: The morning yoga practice will be a steady, vinyasa practice with a focus on connecting or reconnecting to a strong, steady foundation. All-levels or practitioners are welcome, and I will offer in every practice options for rest and modifications as well as to amplify and advance your practice. I recommend using the retreat as inspiration to practice yoga at least twice a week leading up to this time!
Come join us! This retreat is a time for you to slow your roll.. to live in the present, be wonderfully pampered with delicious meals, transformative yoga, immersed in nature and open to all that possible for your life! Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
With love, Julie + Kirin
Sumptuously nestled amongst the trees and wildlife of Blue Osa, prepare for an authentic Costa Rican experience.
With two full-size beds, this room features a large bathroom and memorable views of the surrounding jungle.
Just a stone’s throw away from the chlorine-free lap pool, a short walk to the unspoiled beach and within meters of the dining room, yoga and spa facilities, this room offers an experience unlike any other in Costa Rica.
Be sure to choose Blue Osa and you’ll find balance and composure in this authentic jungle cabina.
*Note on Room: You can book this room with a friend, or I can pair you with someone of the same gender. I have hosted about 15 retreats, and on every retreat about half of the group shares a room with someone they've never met. 100% of the time it works out beautifully. If for any reason it doesn't work for you when you arrive or at any point during the retreat, there is always another solution.
*Note on booking: the deposit for your room is non-refundable. Final payment is due 1 month before trip begins, and the trip is non-refundable from there. I run small, high-impact retreats and simply need to ensure I am supported to make what I do possible. Travel insurance is available to you if that's helpful. Thank you for understanding and for your support in making these dream moments come to life and for the gift of allowing me to serve and support you in thriving.
