Winter Escape Yoga RetreatEnjoy a well-deserved break from the winter blues on the second annual Winter Escape Yoga Retreat in Costa Rica! Led by YoYoga's founder, Rebecca Weible, who has a fun, motivating approach to yoga, this retreat will challenge and excite you! From local excursions to bonfires, fresh meals to new friends, this retreat is about more than just the practice; it's about the whole experience.
The fitness: Rebecca’s yoga teaching style focuses heavily on alignment and even breathing without losing the element of fun and humor. She wants students to feel comfortable and at ease during their practice while still challenging them to take their practice further each class. The retreat: We will be staying at the Encantada Ocean Cottages, in Esterillos Este, Costa Rica. This private boutique retreat center provides healthy and fresh meals inspired by local flavors, beautiful grounds for our yoga practice, and beach and pool access to refresh and unwind. Included in the package are two activities / excursions to see more of Costa Rica and its beautiful natural wonders! One day will be reserved for a zip lining and one for a monkey mangrove tour! Plus, during your free time, you are welcome to sign up for additional activities like a horseback riding, a surf lesson, massages, and more. |

Meet Coach Rebecca Weible of YoYoga!As there was little opportunity to practice yoga while growing up in Myrtle Beach, SC, Rebecca's mom bought her a book about yoga to fuel her interest. When she taught herself crow pose from the book she was hooked.
Her regular practice began in a Jivamukti studio in Charleston, SC during college. After a few years of practicing yoga in NYC, Rebecca began her teacher training with YogaWorks. While working in advertising, she taught yoga on the side. She decided to leave the corporate job environment and pursue her dream of opening a yoga studio and teaching full time. She is now the founder and director of YoYoga! in New York City. She did both her 200 Hour and 300 Hour trainings at YogaWorks. Rebecca has studied Restorative Yoga with Jillian Pransky and Anatomy through Jill Miller’s Yoga Tune Up Anatomy Module. Rebecca and Yo Yoga! have been written up in the New York Times, Time Out New York, and AM New York and have been featured on MTV and France One Television. |

The Accommodations
The Encantada Ocean Cottages is a boutique, family-owned retreat center in Esterillos Este, Costa Rica (less than two hours from San Jose International airport). The individual spacious cottages sleep 2-4 people, and are just steps from the pristine beach, relaxing swimming pool, and peaceful yoga patio. Also on the property are beach volleyball, boogie boarding, and massage services (extra cost). Each day, three healthy meals are made fresh from local ingredients, and vegan meals are available with advanced notice. And at just 20 minutes from the town of Jaco, Encantada is private, peaceful, and in an underdeveloped area, yet close to restaurants, shops, and nightlife for those who feel like checking it out.

Testimonials about Rebecca & YoYoga!
"I have been studying yoga with Rebecca for close to 5 years now. With her deep knowledge, her ability to break down and encourage new poses, and make classes fun by infusing her wonderful relatable humor, she motivated not only my dedication to my practice but for me to take it further and complete my own teacher training. I am grateful to have such a supportive and inspiring teacher." - Gina D.
"I've been practicing with Rebecca for five years now, since she opened her studio, and I have watched not just my practice expand and grow, but my community grow as well. YoYoga is like a sanctuary in a frenetic city. Rebecca has worked to make this environment welcoming and open, spiritual and fun. There is no room for judgment, only laughter, growth and movement; she truly lets you experience the studio and build your practice in a way that works for you. Rebecca is the perfect balance of fun, while still getting the job done, with amazing music mixes as well as a wide variety of poses that she modifies for each individual. I also attended Rebecca's first yoga getaway which was as playful as it was tough, pushing myself to the limit, but also getting the opportunity to try new inversions and tons of partner yoga. There is literally no other yoga studio or teacher I'd rather practice with." - Deanna F.
