You will fly in on Sunday, March 12th, fly out Sunday, March 19th.  Once you arrive at San Jose Airport/Juan Santa Maria (SJO), you will be shuttled over to Studio Hotel Boutique which is in Santa Ana, not too far from the airport.  When you fly back on Friday the 19th, I will arrange your pick up to take you back to the airport.  Transportation to/from hotel costs are included.  Hotel, lodge and transportation in the country is included in cost.  All meals at most places are included.  2 incredible adventures:  a guided tour of the Cloudbridge Primary Forest Reserve and an adventurous trek to the Nauyaca Waterfalls are included.  

Yoga
Yoga will be led by Sarah, who has organized eco yoga retreats and adventures in both the US and Costa Rica for 10 years.  Yoga will be mixed level and adaptive to each student's level, allowing for personal expansion.  There will be morning meditation experiences that will touch your heart and connect you to your own nature.  When we come to know our own nature, we can better connect to the nature around us without feeling separation.  
Once you register, I'll send insights, and inspirational guidance which will be life-enhancing and prepare you for our journey together.  
Not into yoga?  That's ok!  Your non-yogi partner or friend that wants to come will definitely not be bored, as there are so many activities available.  There is a lot of freedom for you to choose how much you would like to participate in activities.
