Healthy Living Retreat in Costa Rica
NOURISH YOUR MIND, BODY AND SOUL in beautiful nosara, costa rica
DATES: TBD
Join us for a blissful week in Costa Rica with guest instructor, Felicia Tomasko.
This seven-day retreat will take place at the Blue Spirit resort in Costa Rica, one of the nicest yoga and meditation retreat centers in the world. It is located in the “blue zone” of Costa Rica where many centenarians live. Blue Zones are regions of the world where people live much longer than average. This resort is on a hilltop overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and walking distance to a three-mile white sand beach that is protected as a turtle refuge. This beautiful resort provides the perfect environment in which to nourish your mind, body, and soul. Something magical happens when a group of people leave their everyday lives, travel to a serene location, and connect through yoga. The following short video clip will give you a better sense of the nurturing setting at the Blue Spirit resort: Blue Spirit Video
