Nicaragua Women's Retreat

This women-only retreat to Nicaragua is led by the knowledgeable and personable Coach Tara LaFerrara! Her vibe and coaching style is all about bringing movement, mindfulness, and a sense of adventure to your daily lives. Join Tara and a group of like-minded women in beautiful Nicaragua where we can find inner peace, beauty, and love of movement through a community of empowerment!

Full of interesting history, thriving culture and beautiful natural wonders, Nicaragua is a truly unique country, and a destination we are thrilled to visit!

Fitness:
With Tara’s extensive movement background, she’ll be able to get you from a Sun A to a plyo squat jump. She will make sure that all levels feel comfortable in their space with yoga, meditation, and mindful bodyweight movements. On one day, we will be visiting a local gym where Tara will lead a special all-levels workshop on weightlifting.

Adventure:
There are so many wonderful and exciting things to do on this retreat, and we have planned a balance of activities and free time for you. Together, we'll experience a surf lesson for all levels, adventure through the kitchen in a special local cooking class and hop on a private catamaran for an afternoon of sailing and swimming.

Testimonials

"This was one for the books! I loved every minute and looked forward to every day since arriving at the hotel. The hotel and location was gorgeous and fully Instagram worthy! Love visiting the various towns peppered in with cultural experiences. Tara was inspiring and knowledgeable when it came to the fitness aspects. I love that we were active every day but also had time to relax." - Julie

"The retreat was amazing in every way. I am so grateful I decided to meet up with 10 strangers in Guatemala. Each and every woman who attended (including Tara) was very unique and I learned something new from each person. Although we were all different ages, body sizes, fitness abilities, and at different points in our lives, we all showed up genuine and were able to connect on a deep level early on in the trip. The workouts were carefully curated/led by Tara and allowed us to have the perfect mix of stretching, strength, meditating, and conditioning. The adventures/experiences allowed us to submerge ourselves in the local culture and learn more about how they live. 10/10 recommend going on a retreat with Tara!" - Sara

"This was such an amazing experience. The workouts, excursions, and cultural experiences all contributed to a near-perfect experience that will be hard to beat." - Cheryl
