FitnessEach morning kicks off with an energizing workout designed to leave you feeling strong, accomplished, and ready to take on the day. Classes will include UrbanPop and/or BarreFusion, two fun, music-driven styles that blend strength, cardio, and mobility.
Every class is welcoming to all levels, with options offered so you can challenge yourself or move at your own pace—no pressure, just good energy and a great sweat. In the afternoons, we’ll shift gears with a refreshing water aerobics class in the pool. It’s low-impact, feel-good movement that helps you stay active while cooling off, laughing with the group, and soaking up that vacation mindset. |

AdventureCosta Rica is known for its incredible natural beauty and sense of adventure, and this retreat gives you the chance to experience it firsthand. During our included adventure day, you’ll choose between two unforgettable options: ATV riding through lush landscapes or a zip-lining canopy tour soaring above the jungle. Both experiences are designed to be exciting, safe, and accessible—whether you’re craving an adrenaline rush or just want to try something new in a stunning setting.
And of course, everything is totally optional. You’re free to join in, cheer from the sidelines, or spend the day relaxing—this retreat is all about doing what feels best for you. |
RelaxationRelaxation is just as important as movement, and this retreat is intentionally designed with plenty of space to unwind. One of our highlights is a group sailing experience on a catamaran, complete with snorkeling, an open bar, ocean views, and that unmistakable Costa Rica breeze. It’s the perfect blend of connection, fun, and laid-back luxury.
Plus, each day strikes a thoughtful balance between planned activities and free time to relax, reflect, or explore at your own pace. Our beachfront resort offers direct beach access and multiple pools—including swim-up bars—making it easy to fully embrace vacation mode. Use your downtime to book a massage, add on experiences like surfing or horseback riding, wander into town, or simply lounge poolside with a drink in hand. However you choose to spend it, this time is yours to truly enjoy. |

What's Included

Meet Your Retreat Leader, Leslie Fhima
|
Fitness has always been a big part of my life. From opening a fitness studio to figure skating professionally to running 10 marathons, and more, I have enjoyed exploring different areas of the industry both personally and professionally.
For the past 35+years, I have taught classes and/or personal training clients almost daily. When the world changed during the Covid-19 pandemic, I launched a virtual business, Soul612, to be able to bring fitness to everyone from home. My focus is dance and barre, but my true passion is simply teaching: any age, any fitness format, any place! I can’t wait for you to join me on my annual Soul612 Costa Rica Retreat to dance, relax and soak up the sun! |

The Accommodations
Our home for the retreat is the iconic Tamarindo Diria resort, located in the heart of Tamarindo, a coastal town known for surfing, sunsets, and low-key beach vibes. The stunning property has a boutique-y vibe with lush grounds, 4-star accommodations, and a friendly, welcoming staff. There are three pools, including two with swim-up bars, a tennis court, and massage services. Plus, being right on the beach means you'll waste no time between a fresh and delicious breakfast and soaking up the morning sunshine. The best part? While the property is relaxing and peaceful, you are steps away from a safe local town with plenty of restaurants, bars, and shops to explore - the perfect vacation balance with something for everyone!
