GET OFF THE GRID! YOGA + SURF THE JUNGLE

LIQUID YOGA + SURF ANNUAL RETREAT TO COSTA RICA, APRIL 6-12, 2009

ORCAS DE OSA IN THE OSA PENINSULA, COSTA RICA

Yoga with Cher Meli of Liquid Yoga + Surf, Johanna Aldrich of Sonic Yoga , Tracy Mohr of Pure Yoga & Erin Dudley of Kula Yoga Project

ORCAS DE OSA is a spacious beachfront property that has been landscaped with much care to promote privacy and welcome wildlife, just steps away from Playa Sombrero as well as the mouth of Rio Sombrero. You’ll wake to sounds of monkeys and macaws, shower under jungle foliage and meander down shaded trails to incredible surf. We begin every morning with pranayama, meditation and asana. From there a breakfast feast awaits before heading off to surf, lounge in a hammock or explore the jungle trails. We meet for a yummy lunch midday and in the late afternoon on the yoga deck we’ll return for a restorative practice of chanting, meditation and yoga nidra, a ritual experience. A final dinner feast will be served as the sun goes down.
