Day 1
Welcome to Costa Rica! Arrive at the Liberia, Costa Rica airport (code LIR) and take the provided shuttle to our resort to check in and get settled. We will meet in the late afternoon for introductions and to go over the program, and we will enjoy a welcome toast while watching the sunset over the ocean. As a group, we'll visit a local restaurant for a delicious dinner and to get to know one another. Day 2 On our first full day, we'll wake up to welcoming sunshine and take a walk along the beach and enjoy a guided stretch to wake our bodies from the travel day yesterday. We'll have fresh breakfast at the resort and then free time to relax on the beach. In the afternoon, we'll come together for a wellness workshop about Creating (and sticking to) Healthier Habits and a light workout following that theme from a fitness perspective where we'll learn a simple workout that you can do anywhere! Free night. Day 3 Wake to an optional early morning beach walk and a bodyweight strength fitness class followed by breakfast (though you can always grab a bite before we meet as well). During today's free time, you may choose to visit Las Catalinas, a nearby beach and community, for stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking or hiking, or just to sit back and relax at our hotel. In the afternoon we'll have a Balance Workshop and learn how to develop stability and control. We'll have a special group dinner at one of the most picturesque (and delicious) restaurants in town. Day 4 This morning, we'll kick things off with a water workout in the adult pool. Then you'll have a free day (great time to redeem your complimentary massage!) and your scheduled one-on-one coaching session with Sarah to talk through individual health and wellness goals and a personalized plan for working towards those goals back home. We'll meet again in the afternoon for a Grab & Go Healthy Snacks nutrition workshop, and then we'll put this into action with a very special local fruit tasting. Free night. Day 5 Early morning beach walk (optional) and fitness class. Then we'll have breakfast and a free morning / early afternoon (plus any final one-on-ones). Enjoy this time to relax, explore the town or learn to surf! In the mid-afternoon, we'll walk down the beach to board a catamaran for an afternoon and sunset sail! There will be opportunities to snorkel, watch for whales and dolphins or just sit back and relax. There is an open bar and a full lunch, too! In the evening, we'll have our final group dinner at a nice restaurant next door. Day 6 On our final morning, we'll stroll on the beach and enjoy a guided stretch. Then we'll have breakfast together and share some closing remarks before departing for the airport. |
