Riding the Waves
Yoga & Surf Retreat
Santa Teresa, Costa Rica
Saturday, June 26 - July 3rd, 2010
Join BINDU YOGA STUDIO & Angel Lucia as we journey together into the BLISS WAVE!
"Enjoy waves of movement arising from your body and within nature as the very essence
of the universe ~ then with peace of mind, become one with this divinity." ~ Vijnana Bhairava Tantra
Relax and take a deep breath in as you fall into a sweet surrender while surrounded by sun, sea,
sand, surf, exotic birds, howler monkeys, and the most amazing sunsets.
Join us for a week of healthy living in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica! The natural beauty of Costa Rica inspires peace
and a fresh perspective in a fast-paced world. Clean mountain and forest air, sharing the surroundings with plenty of wildlife
and a gentle pace all come together here to offer the opportunity to really experience your yoga practice and true nature.
You know that feeling you have after a yoga class, where your mind clutter has been temporarily cleared? Multiply that tenfold
and you will get a taste of what we intend to offer you. This retreat is an amazing opportunity to explore two traditions
that compliment and enhance one another. Daily yoga classes focus on balance and strength while counterbalancing key areas
and cultivating the mindfulness & embodiment needed to successfully and safely negotiate a wave. Yoga and surf share a
deep respect for Mother Nature and together offer the confidence and grace to fluidly ride life’s big waves. Daily classes
will be a combination of active Prana Vinyasa Flows in the morning and Restorative/Yin classes in the evenings.
Our amazing private beachfront home for the week comes with 2 full-time maids who make your beds, change your linen
and towels, and turn down your beds at night lighting candles and decorating with flowers. There are 3 caretakers living
on the land who sweep the path to the beach and around the pool every day and make sure you have fresh coconut water to drink.
They also look after the 7 horses, saddling them should you wish to ride on the beach at sunset ($20 an hour), an unforgettable
experience. Situated on about 6 acres of land. It is the largest beach house in Mal Pais County, measuring approx. 6,000 sq.ft
whilst still maintaining an intimate coziness. You will have everything you need and wish for, the ultimate luxurious experience
in "barefoot elegance".
This is truly a vacation with yoga included.
While yoga is a personal practice that draws us inward to explore our inner self, the world in all of its richness can be
the perfect teacher for a deeper understanding of ourselves. Hiking through the rainforests will ground us in the abundance
of life that is within us and all around us. Practicing near the ocean’s tides will remind us of the ebbs and flows
that we must ride out in life. Viewing trees that have graced this earth for thousands of years will inspire sturdiness in
our own limbs. Enjoying the greatness that this world has to offer will bring us space to let go, and welcome in new experiences
to our lives.
