The Experience

strength&yoga

movement is empowering and a tool to connect with the self and community. At least twice a day, we’ll turn off our brains, challenge ourselves, and just “be” through movement

Adventure

as adults, FUN experiences tend to fall to the wayside. We’re going to reconnect with the spirit of play and joy through mentally and/or physically challenges (like surfing!) offered throughout the unique CR landscape. Try something new!

Relaxation&Community

whether you’re there to spend your days relaxing by the pool or to go waterfall hiking (or BOTH!), there will be time for it all. We’ll have group dinners, a group catamaran experience, and a few more surprises!

Optional Excursions*

Surfing (great place for beginners!) and paddle boarding
Waterfall Hike
Animal Sanctuary
Exploring local towns
Tubing
And more to come! Final excursions to be given with the itinerary

*Additional Charge Unless Otherwise Noted

FAQ

What will each day look like? Will we have free time?

Each day will start with a movement and/or yoga class (often both!). That will be followed by a breakfast prepared by the chef. You will have the rest of the morning and part of the afternoon to spend as you wish. There will be excursion options each day as well as the opportunity to explore the beach and town around our home away from home. We will reconvene for an afternoon movement session and dinner.

You will receive an itinerary upon registration.

I have food restrictions or preferences. Can they be accommodated?

Yes, we have a private chef so we can individualize the menu to all needs! When you place your deposit, you will be sent a questionnaire. Please note your food preferences there and they will be accommodated.

FAQ

Are all meals included?

Daily breakfast and all dinners at the house are included. Restaurant meals and lunches are not included. There will be snacks and coffee available throughout the day in the kitchen. You are welcome to prepare your own food in the house kitchen. There are also restaurants a short walk (along the shore) away.

What if I don’t want to wake up for a morning workout? What if I want to do something else in the afternoon instead?

It’s your vacation- pick and choose what feels good for you! Everything is optional.

I’ve never done yoga/strength training before. Can I still attend?

Of course! That’s what we love to see. Let’s all move out of comfort zones and try something new in a supportive and small group environment. Maddie and Zahra will also be available for one on one questions as desired. Just make a note on the intake form that you’re interested!

FAQ

I want to share a bed with someone- do we both have to pay the room rate?

No! If you have a someone you’d like to share a bed with, you will pay the room rate and the rate for the additional person to attend the retreat.

If you would like to share a room with someone in a double or triple room, please state your roommate preference in the intake sheet.

If you are a group of 4 or more and would like to share a room, reach out for special group pricing!
