- Welcome to Costa Rica! Make your way to the hotel to check in (starting at 3PM) and get settled. (We can help coordinate a 2.5 hour shuttle from the Liberia (LIR) airport or you can opt for a short domestic flight from the San Jose (SJO) airport). We'll meet for sunset introductions and a yoga flow and then continue getting to know one another at a light dinner provided by our private chef.
January 26:
- Good morning from beautiful Nosara! The group will come together for an invigorating workout and brunch, and then we'll enjoy some time to relax at the pool or stroll to the beach. We'll regroup for lunch at the hotel and then again in the late afternoon for a yoga class with sound bowls. Free night for dinner.
January 27:
- This morning, we'll wake up with a yoga class and brunch, and then we'll depart for a horseback riding excursion where we'll get to know these majestic creatures as we ride along the beach! We'll return to the hotel for a chef-prepared lunch and free afternoon. In the evening, enjoy the ultimate wellness session combining a low-key flow and meditation / collective reiki followed by journaling. Night out for dinner on your own.
