Amber Hayes, Maggie Umberger and Marie Agnew of Shift Functional Medicine invite you to join them for a week-long immersion of yoga, movement, meditation and relaxation in Nosara, Costa Rica!
Yoga practices will be led by Amber and Maggie and offered twice daily. All accommodations, yoga practices and meals will be provided during your stay at the luxury Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort.
The itinerary of each day is exactly what you make it to be - as structured and full of activities or as loose and full of flow as you'd like. More details about what each day has to offer are listed below. Come as you are, take part in whatever serves you and leave what doesn't. Our aim for you is to have the spaciousness to allow yourself to land, let your nervous system to settle, to reconnect with nature, community and with your breath. You'll go home after 7 days of tranquility feeling calm, grounded, and overflowing with sunshine.
We recommend purchasing travel insurance for any reason you may need to cancel your trip as once your space is purchased, we are not able to accommodate refunds or partial refunds.
(Alcoholic beverages will not be included)
Throughout the week, Marie will lead discussions and workshops on functional health topics based on survey responses.
Flights into and out of Costa Rica are not included. It is recommended to fly into Liberia (about 2.5 hours from Nosara)
Bodhi Tree Resort will help you organize your airport transfer and it will be charged to your room
Surf lessons can be added at additional cost upon request!
All meals at Bodhi Tree will be provided; additional meals out in town are not included
Breathe Deep. Move Freely. Nourish Fully.
From sunrise meditations to starlit dinners, each day of your retreat is designed to awaken your senses, restore your balance, and connect you deeply with nature—and yourself.
On this day, check-in isn't until 3pm but if your flight and travel plans have you arriving into Nosara earlier than that, you're welcome to leave your luggage at Bodhi Tree's front desk and relax poolside until your room is ready!
Check-in is at 3pm.
Our first evening practice and welcome circle will be before dinner at 5pm so please aim to arrange your travel to have you in by 5pm!
