Imagine with Us for a Moment...
It's a warm and sunny day in January. You just finished up an enlivening early morning hatha yoga class and you walk out onto the balcony. You cast your gaze outward and overlook the Central Valley of Costa Rica and feel the warmth of the sun on your face.
The weather is PERFECT - not too hot - just a gentle tropical breeze on your skin. You take a deep breath and smell the aroma of tropical flowers in the air as a flock of chattery parakeets flies by overhead.
For the first time - in a long time - you have an open schedule, with a day almost entirely to yourself. After taking in the stunning view, you wander toward the dining hall and pour a fresh cup of Costa Rican coffee. You fill your plate with fresh tropical fruits, a gourmet version of "gallo pinto", and plantains and walk out to the balcony to take a seat with your new - found community of friends.
Your body and heart feel warm and alive, as you feel the purifying volcanic energy coming from the Alajuela hills. "There's something special about this place" you think to yourself, as if you are picking up on a vibrancy that is carried by the people and the land. Today, your itinerary consists of only yoga, pool time, perhaps a visit to the spa... and some much needed downtime for REST.
This is your week to immerse yourself in a sea of holistic wellness.
And your dream of a deep drink of downtime is about to come true at the Pura Vida Retreat and Spa. It may be the first time - in a LONG time - that you've given yourself a gift like this.
So imagine for a moment, hitting the 'pause' button for week all to yourself. Take yourself on a new adventure where you can finally prioritize YOUR needs - to invest in yourself and your health.
Pura Vida which translates to "pure life", is more than a saying; it’s a lifestyle. And this retreat is your gateway to embracing it.
On this 8 day, 7 night transformative journey,
you will be guided to merge with the elements, balancing the fiery energy of hatha yoga mornings with the calming waters of restorative evening workshops.
And when the spirit calls for adventure? The Costa Rican terrain awaits, from thrilling zip-lines to waterfall-hiking eco-adventure tours.
Yet, this retreat isn't just about movement;
it's also about stillness. World-class massage and healing therapists are on hand to guide you towards unlocking your deepest potentials.
And as each day unfolds, facilitated group circles will weave a tapestry of connection and sacred ritual, ensuring you depart with a heart full of memories, friendships, and an invincible sense of self.
