ALL-INCLUSIVE ADVENTURE INTO THE EXOTIC RAINFOREST & TROPICAL BEACHES OF COSTA RICA
Join Anna, Jasmyn, & Tyler for a 7-day Yoga & Surf Retreat, and GET READY to have your mind completely blown.
These 7 days...
will be unlike any experience you've ever had. We have partnered with a our friend (from Seal Beach, CA) who owns the Sandpiper Hotel resort at the world class surfing destination Playa Hermosa - a volcanic black sand beach in the heart of the Costa Rica Rainforest. Together, we have organized 7 full days of yoga, surfing, and adventure activities to bring you the most exhilarating, heart pounding, mind expanding, body healing, soul nourishing experience possible.
THIS WILL BE...
An opportunity to dive deep into your yoga practice and spirituality, in a place that is simply vibrating with magic. Your eyes will see things they've never seen. You will engage with nature in a way you have only dreamed. You will partake in adventures that activate and inspire the deepest most dormant parts of your spirit. You will walk away feeling fully charged, powerful, and poised for life, with amazing new friends by your side.
Have you ever...
Wanted to ride a majestic horse into the sunset on a tropical beach? Or rally an ATV through the jungle mud? How about soar above and through the exotic rainforest on a zip line? And maybe you'd like to hold a baby sea turtle in the palm of your hand, let a monkey kick-it on your shoulder, shake hands with a sloth, or squawk at a bright Macaw. Well, we're doing all that and we think you should join us.
All you have to do is sign up, and show up.
We handle the rest. Everything is taken care of and included in the price of the booking, which we have intentionally kept VERY AFFORDABLE so that YOU can take advantage of this incredible opportunity.

About Our Spot
We stay at Sandpiper Hotel, which is located on the black sand beach of Playa Hermosa (translation: “Beautiful Beach”) in the Guanacaste Province of Costa Rica, about 1 1/2 hrs from the San Jose airport. Sandpiper is nestled on the edges of the lush jungle rainforest and tropical coast with beautiful Pacific Ocean views (water temp: 85+ degrees).
Our group has the entire property reserved for the duration of our retreat, so the resort experience, including everything from local transportation, to accommodations, food, and activities will be curated to exactly what is most beneficial to our group.
The property has everything we need to we maximize our group’s comfort while delivering an amazing and authentic immersion into Costa Rican culture. With a pool and beachside Tiki Hut for dining, cocktails, relaxing, and practicing yoga, it’s a perfect place to relax and grab some shade. The astonishing beach and warm ocean is going to pull you into the cleansing tropical atmosphere frequently.
Need a massage?
No problem. The hotel works with a local massage therapist who will bring that healing touch right to your room or while you’re relaxing under a palm tree with a Margarita.
Like Baby Turtles?
There are very special things about this place, including an onsite Turtle Rescue which allows guests to assist momma turtles as they lay eggs in the sand, as well as participating in the miracle of baby turtles hatching and ensuring they travel safely to the ocean. Of course, this depends entirely on the divine timing of Mother Nature, but Costa Rica is well-known for its abundant sea turtle population – so the probability of witnessing the variety of miraculous sea turtle events are very high.
All rooms are equipped with air conditioning, refrigerators, free Wi-Fi, flat screen TV’s, clean linens and towels. Since there are a limited number of rooms and beds onsite, our guests will room with each other to maximize attendance. Single occupancy fees are available if someone absolutely must have their own room, but we encourage our guests to either bring a friend or be open to our help in pairing attendees with gender-appropriate roommates for the best experience possible.

RECOMMENDED FLIGHTS
We are recommending the following overnight flight on November 10th, departing 11:50pm – Delta Airlines. This option is great because you can sleep on the plane and arrive early in San Jose for local transportation pickup, then enjoy the first full day with us in Costa Rica.
The best return flight on November 17th is departing at 8:30am from San Jose. Transportation will be provided to and from the airport.
DELTA AIRLINES FLIGHTS
Upon pickup from the airport, we will drive 1 1/2 hrs through the rainforest with a stop at Crocodile Bridge. Oh my! Then arrive at Sandpiper on a black sand beach with welcome drinks and snacks.
Though we expect everything to go smoothly, we understand that the current times are somewhat unpredictable. If for some reason you need to cancel your reservation, no problem!

If postponing this retreat is something we have to do, we may be able to offer a credit towards the rescheduled retreat at that time. These are very unlikely scenarios, but just in case we want you to know we got you.
