Yoga & Fitness RetreatEnjoy the sun, sand, fitness, and fun on this 6-day wellness-minded getaway! We'll work out our bodies and minds while focusing on specific intentions we set on day one. Throughout the week we will check in on those intentions in yoga, workouts, meditations, and exciting activities like zip lining and surfing. Join Coaches Beth and Sallie and a group of like-minded travelers for the right balance of fitness, adventure and relaxation!
Fitness: Each day of the retreat will combine total-body workouts and yoga classes led by our two instructors, Beth Roberts and Sallie Schullinger-Krause. Typically our morning workout will be more intensive (interval training, cardio, power yoga) and our afternoon session will be lower impact (stretching, core, restorative flows). The daily classes are meant to challenge and motivate you, while being accessible to all fitness levels and utilizing the natural environment as the gym! Adventure: In addition to our daily workouts and yoga classes, we'll enjoy a variety of exciting activities! We'll have an all-levels surf lesson and an afternoon/sunset catamaran sailing cruise where we have the choice of relaxing on board with open bar or snorkeling in the ocean and watching for whales and dolphins. Prefer to stay back? No problem - all activities are optional! Relaxation: In between activities and workouts will be plenty of free time to relax, reflect, or sign up for additional activities, massages or excursions. Our resort is right on the beach and has beautiful pools so free time is yours to cherish! And when you walk out of the hotel you're in the middle of a small town with lots of shops and restaurants to explore. |

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!

Testimonials
"This retreat was very well organized from shuttles, tours, workouts, and meals. The morning workouts were a great way to start my day with a variety of different exercises that were both challenging and fun. The breakfasts at the resort were delicious with a fabulous view. All of our tour excursions were well organized and unique with a workout at a local gym, a hike along the mountainside with ocean views, and a fun trip to a local beach with lots of activities. It was nice to have some things planned but also to have our own down time. Coach Beth is a great instructor and everyone can workout at their own comfort level. She mixes it up so that you get a full body workout and then a nice relaxing restorative stretch. It is also great to meet new people from all over the country that share the love of travel and working out. I would say this retreat is a great mix of health, fitness, sun and fun!" - Christine T.
"I’ve attended 2 of Beth’s (Killington Boot Camp) / Ketanga Fitness’ international retreats and both were great all around! Barbados was the last one I attended. The schedule was flexible for each individual to participate or not with the daily workouts! The workouts are in the morning and late afternoon so adding in some touristy activities or just pool/beach time is easy! Beth works with the natural structures of each destination and brings her own tools as well, making it super fun while getting a workout in daily! Loved it!! Will def attend another!" - Sarah Z.
"I have had the pleasure of attending three retreats with Ketanga Fitness. Every retreat has planned meals and activities as well as free time to relax and explore on your own. The retreats I attended were with trainer Beth Roberts of Killington Boot Camp. Beth has a great way of designing workouts so that all muscles are targeted, even the muscles you have never felt before after any other workout. She is great at giving several variations for different exercises so that you can perform the exercise, no matter what your fitness level. Beth has a passion for fitness and a healthy lifestyle. It shows in her workouts and the effort and care that she puts into everything she does. I have been to Tulum, Barbados and Cape Cod and have plans for Costa Rica (with my daughter) and Mallorca, Spain in the next 8 months which will make it 5 retreats in 2 years. I highly recommend the retreats offered by Ketanga Fitness and Beth Roberts. I truly look forward to the next retreat as soon as I return from the last retreat." - Debra S.
