Retreat Highlights

  • Embracing her 50's has propelled Nadyne into a lifestyle of change. Nadyne's background included a successful 30-year career as a makeup artist in Hollywood.
  • Transitioned from the busy-ness of her career into yoga teacher trainings, guiding yoga and breath sessions, hip hop classes, rollerskating lessons, navigating a divorce, volunteering at an organic farm, driving across country and now leading women through the process of listening to themselves while running retreats in Costa Rica.
  • Nadyne loves making connections, bonding with people from her heart, teaching breath techniques and helping people relieve stress so that they feel seen, safe and heard.
  • So, inhale deeply and exhale slowly as you leap into your freedom.
  • Enjoy optional events scheduled each day, from yoga to bonfires to kayaking. The event fee covers included daily activities and entertainment, in a boutique beachfront hotel room (each unit is 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom with full kitchen). Solo travelers and couples are welcome.

Schedule

Saturday

Arrive in Liberia Airport. You can rent a car at the airport (everyone speaks English) or you can coordinate a shuttle through us.

If you come in a shuttle, our favorite driver Alex will give you a mini tour of Costa Rica sights. You might see monkeys, stop at a local fruit stand, and can stop to get lunch. The drive is about an hour and 45 minutes through well-paved green mountain roads.

You will probably arrive in the late afternoon/early evening, just in time to join us on the beach for a fish grill. Change into your beach attire, take off your shoes, and join us in the yoga shala for dinner and meet and greet.

Go to sleep with the sounds of the waves in your apartment on the beach.


Sunday

Wake up to fresh coffee overlooking the beach. Maybe take a walk down the beach and start exploring Samara Bay.

Your first workshop starts around 9-10am lead by the amazing Poly coach Karen. You will learn communication skills, practice radical honesty, and create agreements with your partner/s. You will also get to know the rest of the group in a deep and fun way. There will be laughter and maybe tears.

Lunchtime: we will take everyone into town (or you can walk 15 minutes) and show you the best restaurants in town.

Evening: Join us for a huge bonfire activity on the beach, where we will lead you through an exercise in letting go and embracing a new start. (Or just have some beers and dance around the fire. :)


Monday

Our very gentle and kind yoga instructor Ashley will lead you through a meditation, followed by a gentle morning yoga routine overlooking the ocean waves.

After morning circle, join us in kayaking to an uninhabited island. This is a relaxing, unstrenous paddle with our group to a close by island. You might see turtles, pelicans, sting rays and definitely crabs.

For dinner, we will walk to one of the cutest ocean front restaurants you have ever seen to enjoy dinner and drinks while we watch the sun go down.


Tuesday

Wake up this morning to partner yoga--a very connecting and sometimes hilarious feat as we use each other for balance. People who have never done yoga before often LOVE partner yoga!

After morning circle, get a boogie board lesson and grab a board to play in the waves. We are in a bay, so the waves are gentle and good for beginners.

In the evening, we have an optional Dolphin and Whale watching tour scheduled. Chase the whales and the sunset in this boat tour with drinks included.


Wednesday

This morning's activity is all about taking care of our natural resources, when we walk the beach and do a beach trash pickup.

You can book an optional massage on the beach today, and listen to the waves and feel the ocean breeze while you get a massage.

It's grill night with the whole group tonight as we all make and bring a dish to our communal dinner in the yoga shala.



Thursday

You will learn how to build and decorate a giant sand castle on the beach, and enjoy the entire community joining in to add shells and decorations as they walk by.

After dinner we will celebrate our entire week together with a private Margarita party and live music provided by the lovely Zoe. After the entertainment, we move the party to the pool.


Friday

The event officially ends Friday morning as you head back to the airport. However, many of our guests elect to stay longer, and tour Costa Rica together, or just stay a few more days relaxing in the hammocks. You can expect that you will make travel friends for life.
