Details
Day 1
Arrive in Costa Rica and check into your bungalow on the beach
Dreamy beach views, invigorating yoga sessions, and exciting adventures await you in Costa Rica! Your trip starts today, and we'll head directly from the airport to the accommodation. You'll immediately be taken by the stunning coastal vistas and general atmosphere of relaxation. Take some time to check in, drop off your bags, and get settled before the first yin yoga session of the trip. Designed to target your deep muscle tissues and provide a feeling of calmness throughout the body, you'll be at peace after this session. Finally, we'll end the day with dinner at the accommodation before bed.
Day 2
Soak up the sunny, sandy vibes of Playa Carrillo on your first full day of the retreat
Rise and shine! It's a picture-perfect day in Playa Carrillo. We're going to start the day with a session of vinyasa yoga where intentional movements and mindful breaths will awaken you and your senses to the incredible landscape that surrounds you. Then, until the evening, you have nothing but free time! This is the perfect opportunity to get acquainted with your environment and your fellow travelers. You're welcome to wander along the beach or just relax at the accommodation; whatever you're feeling is good with us. Our newly-established evening routine of yin yoga and dinner will round out the day.
Day 3
Kayak and snorkel in the crystalline waters off Chora Island
After yesterday's slow-paced schedule that allowed you to get used to life here in Costa Rica, it's time to get out and adventure a bit! We'll prep in the morning with vinyasa yoga and breakfast before going on a kayaking trip to Chora Island! The island isn't too far from the shore, so we'll take our kayaks the whole way. Once there, we'll have plenty of time to bask in the sun and snorkel beneath the calm waves before we return to the accommodation for more yoga, food, and free time.
Day 4
Spend the day traveling along tropical dry forest trails on horseback
Another day, another chance for wellness and time in nature. Yoga and breakfast will once again start the day before we head out on our second adventure of the trip: a horseback riding excursion! Accompanied by an expert guide, you'll get to travel along trails in the tropical dry forest, a unique Costa Rican biome. Forming a bond with a gentle animal while feeling the pulse of nature will not only be an unforgettable experience, but it will also be an amazing supplement to the wellness work we have already begun with our daily yoga sessions. Once you return to the retreat, you'll feel more in tune with Mother Nature than ever.
Day 5
Complete your time in Costa Rica with one more free day
It's our last full day of the retreat, and we've got nothing to do aside from enjoy long, sunny hours of free time. Start and end the day with yoga sessions, and take time in between those sessions to do whatever's on your mind. Swim, walk, nap, connect, listen, and rest using the time that is remaining to you. Follow your heart and be truly present!
Day 6
Attend your final yoga session of the trip before heading home
What a time it has been here in Costa Rica! Sadly, our trip comes to a close today. We'll have one final session of vinyasa yoga in the morning before grabbing breakfast and beginning the journey back to the airport. Thanks so much for joining us here in Playa Carrillo, and we can't wait until the next adventure!
