Why the Osa Peninsula?
The Osa Peninsula is one of the most beautiful, wild, bio-diverse places on the planet. Yes, it is literally at the end of the road, off the pavement, off the grid, and about an hour’s car ride away from the nearest town…which means you step directly into Nature at her finest…without the swarm of crowds, lines of people, or fences to keep you separate from your own intimate experience with Nature. Here you will find secret waterfalls cascading out of rocks into refreshing, naturally formed swimming pools. You can hike through the jungle out to the exposed, south facing coast and soak in ancient tide pool bathtubs filled with warm salt water, right at the ocean’s edge. You can sway in a hammock, sipping fresh “pipa” (young coconut water) and watch all four species of Central American monkeys play in the trees, spy countless species of exotic birds, observe crazy amounts of colorful insects and majestic reptiles, and if you are lucky….perhaps spot a jungle cat (although we usually don’t see these elusive beauties).
You will feel a significant difference in your energy being this close to nature. We naturally rise with the sun, and the unbelievable calls of the howler monkeys, learn and play throughout the day ~ feeding your mind, body, and spirit with immersion of vinyasa yoga, fresh and purely delicious foods, pure tropical air, divine rests, and sleep deeply in the evening under a sky full of stars. Receive a whole new outlook and rhythm of life, a deeper understanding and real-time experience of living yoga. General yoga flow includes 2 daily practice classes, one active practice in morning and one restorative practice in early evening (unless we have a full day outing, we will have one longer practice) Class includes movement practice especially designed to meet you at YOUR level, meditation, breath work, and integration. Mid-morning to afternoons reserved for excursion or free time, evenings culminate in laughter and storytelling around the fire with drinks and music. Enjoy connection with nature and communal living in the jungle next to the sea. Plenty of opportunities for reflective writing, medicine walk explorations, adventure, and hammock time.
