Yoga & Adventure Retreat
Costa Rica truly showcases nature's majesty. From the lush green jungle, to the unspoiled sandy beaches, to the epic sunsets, it's a slice of paradise where fun and adventure awaits! Join Yogi Britney Byfield for six days of strength-building and restorative yoga sessions, exciting excursions, oceanfront cocktails, and locally-grown fresh cuisine. This retreat is judgement-free and friendly to all-levels. No previous yoga experience is required to attend!
Yoga: Britney's approach to yoga is a power / vinyasa flow that incorporates elements from her dance and gymnastics background to keep things fresh and exciting each day. In her class, you can expect a fun, dynamic flow using muscles you didn't know existed. Plus, Britney will be leading a special handstand / inversion workshop one day to help you take your personal practice to the next level. Adventure: Each day of the retreat will present an opportunity for adventure ranging from the option to try a new food to going on an excursion with the group. Two activities that are part of the experience (but totally optional) are surfing through the ocean waves with a beginners lesson and exploring the Rincon de la Vieja volcano on an adventure tour complete with horseback riding, zip lining, mud bath, and more! Relaxation: Each day will balance activities with free time to relax, reflect, or go explore on your own or with others. Our resort is right on the beach and also has a couple of pools (with a swim-up bar!) so free time is yours to cherish! Other ideas are to get a massage, sign up for an extra excursion like surfing or horseback riding, or visit the town for some shopping. |

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!

Itinerary
Day 1:
Welcome to Costa Rica! Guests will arrive at the Liberia, Costa Rica (LIR) airport and take a provided shuttle to our resort, the Tamarindo Diria.

Day 2:
This morning we will kick off our morning yoga routine with a vinyasa flow followed by a nourishing breakfast overlooking the ocean waves. The day is free for you to soak up the sun, explore the town or go for a swim! In the mid afternoon we'll meet for our surf lesson just a short walk from the hotel. Our surf instructors will lead a lesson on the beach and then take us into the water to put it into action! In the late afternoon, we'll meet for a second - more restorative - practice and then enjoy a free night. Suggestion: Visit the Thursday night market for food, entertainment and fun!
Day 3:
We'll have an optional early morning flow and breakfast and then depart for our day trip to Rincon de la Vieja! We'll journey to the volcano for a day of adventure including horseback riding, zip lining, a volcanic mud bath, and a giant waterslide! Lunch is included. Upon our return, we'll have a free night to relax, grab dinner and go salsa dancing (optional, of course).
Day 4:
Morning flow + breakfast. Today is completely free for you to relax and enjoy your vacation! You can visit the Saturday Farmer's Market in town for locally-made gifts and snacks, sign up for an extra excursion or massage or simply hang out by the pool.

Day 5:
Morning flow + breakfast. Today is another free day with the option to relax, do your own thing or sign up for a catamaran excursion! For those joining the catamaran, we'll have a few hours to relax and then we'll head out for an afternoon sail! We'll ride out into the ocean, hopefully catching a glimpse of some whales or dolphins, and then we'll have time to jump in the water for snorkeling and swimming - and maybe an impromptu flow on the deck of the boat! We'll have lunch provided on the excursion + open bar, and we will come back as the sun sets for a perfect view of the magic! For anyone interested in watching the Super Bowl, we'll have a reservation at a fun, casual beach bar.

"So I was hesitant at first on going on the fitness retreat because I wasn’t sure what it would be like, and I am beyond happy I decided to go. This was by far one of my most favorite/memorable trips I’ve been on to this day. The best part was not having to worry about where to eat, or what fun activities I should do because the best of the best was already planned out for me. All I needed to do was show up. The workouts are not mandatory, but was honestly one of my favorite parts because it gets you up and moving, ready to start your day!
Stacy (Ketanga's founder) is extremely organized and knows exactly what she is doing to make your trip more than perfect. She knows every spot to go to to site see, to get some good food and just to have a great experience overall! Britney was our yoga instructor on the trip. I’ve known Britney for a few years now, and she is one of the best fitness instructors I know in New York. She did such a great job helping Stacy lead the trip! So Stacy sure knows how to pick them:) I just can not wait for the net retreat!" - Nicole R. |
