Restore & Explore in La Fortuna, Costa Rica

Join Ann & Dan for a week of yoga, relaxation, and adventure in one of the most beautiful and biodiverse regions of Costa Rica. Surrounded by the cloud forest, the Arenal volcano, hot springs, waterfalls, and rich wildlife. This retreat center is part of a biodynamic farm that grows a majority of the farm-to-table cuisine served at the retreat. This will be another special and unique yoga retreat that Ann and Dan lead. Yoga, hot springs, waterfalls, volcano hiking, nighttime rainforest hiking, ziplining, and kayaking will be available as well as plenty of time to relax and reflect.

Andrea Weiss

As a Nia movement practitioner, I find great joy in guiding others to experience increased physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing and fitness through Nia’s unique blend of holistic movement and music. My Nia classes are always safe spaces to explore releasing that inner critic and becoming more present to the sensations of moving the body, breath, and voice in order to unleash greater personal power, confidence, flexibility, and pleasure.

Travel Insurance

We cannot emphasize more the importance of travel insurance. As we all know, especially as travelers, “life happens.” Whether it’s family, work, mother nature, or a change of heart, it is important to be prepared in case you need to unexpectedly change your travel plans. Often for less than $150, you can purchase a travel insurance policy and be protected in the event that you need to make a change or need to be covered financially prior to or during your trip.

We have partnered with two insurance companies: Trawick International and CSA Travel Insurance (available for U.S. Residents only).

Read more about our insurance partners and their policies here. We encourage you to research the insurance company and policy that best meets your needs.
