COSTA RICA YOGA RETREAT
You're invited to a special women's yoga retreat in February 2025! Costa Rica holds a place in my heart. I first visited in 2017 for a yoga retreat and immediately felt the magic. I went back in 2022 for 3 months, and that is where my life remarkably changed. While there, I did yoga, enjoyed sunrises and sunsets, immersed myself in each moment, and ate delicious mangos, avocados, and papayas. I also decided to create my own business - In The Flow. I felt aligned, connected, and whole - both with myself and the beautiful nature surrounding me. I was in my own flow. To return to Costa Rica and invite 14 amazing women for a week retreat, is a gift. We will stay Nosara where I spent two months in 2022. The rhythm of Nosara is based on the surf, the tides, the sun, and the moon. The place has a heartbeat that invites you to be in touch with your true essence. The word that always comes to mind for me when I think of Nosara is HARMONY - harmony within ourselves and the world around us. I hope you can join me for this magical retreat in one of my favorite places in the world. Coming together for daily yoga, meditation, group activities, sunsets at the beach, and nourishing meals. Filling the body and soul with wellness, connection, adventure, restoration, and most importantly - harmony.
TYPICAL DAY ON RETREAT
This retreat is designed to give you both structure and time to relax. A typical day begins around 7:30 with a light breakfast of Costa Rican coffee and fresh fruit. We will practice yoga, meditation, and journaling - integrating the body, mind, and breath. After, you will have downtime to jump in the pool or read a book in the shade, followed by lunch together. The afternoon is yours to enjoy all Nosara has to offer! We are an easy 5-minute walk to the beach and right in the town of Nosara with boutiques, juice bars, surf lessons, and more. Or maybe a massage or nap is what you need? All can be arranged. We will have another workshop or gentle yoga class together around sunset (sometimes on the beach for sunset!), followed by a delicious dinner prepared by our private chef. A restful night's sleep awaits at our own resort and the promise of another beautiful day tomorrow.
ABOUT JADE NOSARA
We will be the only group at Jade, an intimate boutique hotel in the heart of Nosara, Costa Rica. Jade consists of 7 bungalows surrounding a pool, yoga shala, and common area. While there, we will enjoy a private chef for our meals onsite, daily housekeeping, a concierge to help with booking additional excursions and services, purified water, a yoga shala with props, and onsite caretakers and security. The property is a 5-minute walk to the beach and centrally located to all Nosara has to offer, while still feeling secluded and peaceful.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I am coming alone, is that okay?
Yes, of course! Retreat is a great way to meet new, like-minded women. If you are coming alone and choose a double occupancy room, you will receive a survey for best fit roommate (i.e. likes white noise at night, enjoys cooler temps, wants a quiet room, etc). If you are coming with a friend and want to room together, that works too! Please indicate your friend's name on the checkout page.
What do I need to bring?
A month prior, you will receive an email with more details around the agenda and recommended packing. The weather will be warm and dry. Packing clothes for yoga, walking around, going to the beach, and enjoying dinners is a great place to start. Most of the day will be outside. Yoga mats and blocks are provided - one less thing to pack!
Where should I fly into?
I recommend Liberia airport (LIR), about 2 hours from Nosara. You can also fly directly to Nosara (NOB). That will require booking with multiple airlines as Nosara is serviced only by small Costa Rican airlines. The third option is San Jose (SJO), about 5 hours from Nosara.
How will I get from the airport to Jade Nosara?
If you are flying in on February 2 and flying out on February 8, the cost of transport from Liberia or Nosara airport is included in your retreat fee. A shuttle with other retreat attendees arriving around the same time as you will drive you directly to Jade. If you choose to fly in another day or to San Jose airport, you will be responsible for the cost; however, myself and Jade are happy to assist you in making the reservations.
Is it okay if I’m new to yoga?
Of course! Modifications will be offered to accommodate all levels of yoga practitioners. Also, while we will do daily yoga on the retreat, there are lots of other activities to also enjoy.
What if I need to cancel?
A $500 deposit is required to hold your place in the retreat. The remainder of your fee is due on November 30, 2024. The deposit and retreat fee are both non-refundable - so travel insurance is recommended. If you are able to find a replacement for your spot, the retreat is transferable to another woman, minus a $150 processing fee which you as the canceling party will be responsible for.
What is check-in and check-out time?
Check-in time is 3 pm on Sunday, February 2, and check-out time is 10 am on Saturday, February 8. Please plan to arrive at Jade in Nosara between 3-5 pm on Sunday, February 2, for the retreat. Our first activity will be around 5:30 or when the majority of the attendees arrive.
I have food allergies, is that okay?
No problem! We have a private chef focused on providing healthy and delicious meals. A month prior, you will receive an email with questions regarding specifics such as dietary preferences and any allergies you may have.
How many women will be attending?
The retreat is limited to14 individuals who identify as women and are over the age of 18.
Should I buy travel insurance?
Travel insurance is recommended in case something happens or you are unable to attend. World Nomads is well-recommended travel insurance company. Keep in mind, the retreat is non-refundable.
Do I need a passport and visa?
A passport is required and needs to be valid for 6 months after your arrival dates. At this time, US citizens do not need a visa or any other requirements to enter the country. If anything changes, you will be notified prior to departure. A return ticket is required and Costa Rican immigration will ask for that information when entering the country.
