Dive into 2020 with a feeling of clarity and purpose. Move your body and breath with us in paradise, traverse the corners of your mind and explore the depths of your soul.

On this spiritual retreat, we will be combining traditional yoga asana and meditation methods with deep shamanic rituals, plant medicine and ceremony to tune into our true authentic self and highest potential.

"The AYC Costa Rica Retreat was a wonderful experience! The venue, 2 beautifully appointed homes with pools, 2 minutes along the palm and banana tree lined path to the beach. Perfect balance of excursions, yoga and relaxation. Food- local, fresh and deliciously prepared in-house. We ranged in age from 20's to 60's, yoga experience from beginner up--Danielle, Katie, Liz and Chris were gracious hosts, seeing to our needs with love, laughter and enthusiasm! Can't wait for the next retreat! Highly recommend!"

INSPIRE YOUR PRACTICE in COSTA RICA

Imagine being serenaded in your daily practice by the natural soundtrack of the ocean waves. Imagine mimicking your “Bird of Paradise” with the real deal flower growing in-front of the same name! On retreat in Costa Rica we rise for morning practice and close our evenings with sunset practice on a private oceanfront yoga shala where the only ones witnessing our flow are the tropical birds, howler monkeys and iguanas co-inhabiting the property!

BEACH IT in COSTA RICA

February in the Northeast is tough! The beauty of the season’s first snows change to a frigid nuisance and after months of being in our winter bunkers, the thought of soaking in the sun is only a daydream of past memories. On retreat in Costa Rica, we turn this dream into reality with air and water temps at a delicious 83 degrees with SUNNY skies on the daily. Perfect weather to work on your winter tan and let all your worries dissolve right into the sand.

ADVENTURE in COSTA RICA

You’re in the JUNGLE baby! Only a few steps from the beach we’ll find ourselves in a lush jungle alongside white faced monkeys, iguanas, green parrots and kinkajous! We’ll tour both the jungle and countryside via ATV and land in the famous Montezuma! This hip town is known for street vendors with cool handmade art and jewelry and world class Ceviche straight off the boat! Yummmmm!

LEAP INTO THE WATERFALLS in COSTA RICA

After a delicious meal in Montezuma, we’ll take a canopy hike through the jungle (Keep a look out! We’ve seen families of Capuchin Monkeys here before!) to leap into the waters of “Cascada de Montezuma”. Take an exhilarating plunge into the crystal clear waters and perhaps even swim up and under the waterfall for the type of back massage only nature can provide!

WITNESS SEA LIFE in COSTA RICA

On retreat, we’ll take a full day excursion via boat to the renowned Tortuga Island! The boat ride alone is incredible with varied coastlines, waterfalls and dolphins leaping alongside of us!! Next up, a pause at two incredible snorkel locations where we will witness the color and vibrancy of tropical sea life such as puffers, angelfish, parrot fish and even sea turtles! Finally, a delicious beach BBQ with fresh meats, seafood and veggies with coconut water right from the fruit!

LIVE IN LUXURY in COSTA RICA

What is it like live in luxury on retreat? It means options for artfully designed and air conditioned private rooms and baths. It means hammocks and outdoor daybeds under the stars. It means stone floored pools to immerse your body and wash away your cares. It means private and catered living quarters and grounds just steps from the beach and world class culinary cuisine at your fingertips. Almost all of your meals are included ( with the exception of 1 lunch and 1 dinner). Luxury means beachfront massage with the areas best therapists. It means a bustling town with global culture and an eclectic mix of local galleries and shops to peruse. It means memories that will last a lifetime.

We are staying at the magnificent Las Casona & Palm Grove Villas. These two neighboring beachfront Villas are on the same property and feature 2 pools and a private beachfront yoga deck.
