Accommodations

You will stay at a sustainable, rainforest eco-lodge hotel providing comfortable accommodations amidst acres of lush gardens, hiking trails, and a secluded jungle. The atmosphere at the retreat center is simple, healthy, and relaxed. Rooms are single, double, or triple occupancy with fans and hot water. Each room at this center is unique and the size of the rooms vary. The eco-lodge has a beautiful chlorine-free swimming pool and jacuzzi. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are prepared daily and will be plant-based. The food is organic and local when available, prepared with nourishing ingredients and lots of love. We do our best to honor your registration type. If enrollment pairings are such that we cannot honor the occupancy type you have selected, we will contact you 90 days prior to your trip. Feel free to contact us in the meantime if you have concerns.

Farah Nazarali

Farah is a devoted yoga student who has been teaching for over 20 years. She is deeply committed to yoga, healing, and being of service. She regularly leads transformational retreats that help participants to expand their heart’s capacity, restore, rest and rejuvenate, and live a life rooted in purpose. 

She is a pioneer in integrating yogic practices and Buddhist teachings with non-violent communication and conflict resolution and is known and loved for skills in mediating conflict and facilitating dialogue that deepens understanding, connection, and intimacy.

She has a deep love for all things yoga and is profoundly inspired by the sacred texts of yoga, the teachings of Buddhism, and wisdom traditions that lead us to love, truth, wonder and awe.

She loves forest-gazing and ocean-bathing and takes pleasure in the simple joys of life- cooking, gardening, and being in the company of loved ones.

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.
