Nosara is located in the beautiful province of Guanacaste in the Nicoya Peninsula of Costa Rica. Nicoya is considered one of the Blue Zones areas where cultures have evolved to prolong the longevity of human life.
A water source enriched with calcium and magnesium, diets composed of naturally harvested foods, and a strong sense of community are a few of the secrets residents of Nicoya follow to live a pure, happy and long life.
Nosara is known as one of the most sophisticated beach towns in Costa Rica, this small but special town has a lot to offer.

I lead a week long Ayurvedic Yoga experience, incorporating daily morning asana and meditation, evening restorative practices and personal consultations.
The practices are designed to lead you through layers of therapeutic release. It is an experience that will also teach you techniques of Ayurveda, the balancing of nature, into your own life for self-care through daily routine (dinacharya), food, herbs and bodywork cleansing treatments. Yoga is an Ayurvedic discipline and when it is experienced as part of a greater practice under the guidance of a teacher in a beautiful safe and peaceful environment where all our needs are supported, it is a truly transformational experience.
Morning practice will consist of asana, pranayama and meditation. Each class will explore a specific focus of awareness and skills to access aspects of ourselves that have little chance to surface in our regular routines and distracted lives. We will move and play with shifting perceptions of ourselves and our potential. The days are structured so there is plenty of time to enjoy the variety of activities or simply retreat to the pool, beach or beautiful living spaces. The spa offers massage services including Ayurvedic treatments that can be booked in addition to our offerings. Evening practice will consist of a combination of stretching, restorative and guided relaxation.
