WHAT THE WEEK FEELS LIKEMornings open with yoga at Casa De Alces surrounded by jungle and the sounds of howler monkeys.Dr. Katie D'Amato will lead each practice with the precision of a physical therapist and the intuition of a yoga teacher. Her yoga classes will be fluid, slow, anatomy alignment based and intentional for all levels of yoga.&nbsp;Three mornings, we will head to the beach after yoga for surf lessons for all levels and desired challenge levels or open surf time. Playa Guiones is a gentle and consistent beach break, no experience needed.Middays are yours. Walk to town along the jungle path, hang out by the pool with a good book. Find a local soda (Costa Rican fare) and order a casado.On Tuesday, the open air market in downtown Guiones brings farmers selling papaya, squash, mango, and more, grown from volcanic soil.Every evening, Nosara does something quietly powerful: the community walks to the beach and watches the sunset.Evenings end with meals from your private cook and good people around the table. Other nights you can venture out into North Guiones for all types of cuisine and choose your level of nightlife... local boutiques line the streets. Or choose to chill at the casa and cook your own dinner and relax, perhaps a restorative yoga session.One afternoon, we will venture onto a sunset caravan offering prime opportunities to spot dolphins, sea turtles, and jumping rays. You can spend the afternoon swimming of snorkeling in a secluded cove before unwinding on deck with tropical drinks and fresh appetizers.
