Malaika and Dave - We are teaming up! - Costa Rica Trip/Retreat! - December 26, 2017 - January 4th, 2017. A few year’s ago, we started talking about putting together a different kind of Yoga retreat. Combining yoga and hiking, yoga and community service, and even yoga and sustainability education. We came up with something that combines all of these ideas:). Right now we are putting out the feelers, to see if folks if folks are interested? If it you are, just send one of us a note in the next few weeks:).
Our home based for this trip will be Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula. The trip will start at a locally owned and operated boutique hotel/ eco-lodge. We will spend time exploring the Golfo Dulce (one of only five tropical Fjords in the world), visit a chocolate/permaculture farm, meet with community members, conservation organizations and development organizations. We will then spend 2 days/1 night exploring Corcovado National Park, one of the most biologically intense places on the planet. And wrap up the trip with an 11 mile hike out of the park, two nights at a boutique hotel/eco-lodge and a trip back to San Jose. - Great Food - Yoga 2-3 times a day- Beaches, Rainforest, and the opportunity to get to know the people and land of the Osa Peninsula.
If enough folks are interested by mid-July we will run the program in late December/early January. We estimate costs (before airfare) to be ~$1,850 per person.
If you are interested, please be in touch.
