Seaside Self Care: A Luxury Yoga Retreat
Santa Teresa, Costa Rica Retreat with Rachel Huenink and Iryna Prakapchuk
Are you ready to dedicate some time to yourself and Relax, Recharge, and Rejuvenate? Join Rachel and Iryna in paradise for an eco-friendly yoga retreat at a boutique beach resort.
Begin your morning with guided meditation on the beach. Each day, we will also have two yoga practices that will take place in an oceanfront bungalow-style studio: slow flow in the morning and restorative yoga in the evening. Come to one, both, or neither. Attendance is optional for all the classes and meditation.
Fresh local breakfasts and dinners are included, participants are invited to explore local options for lunch.
There will be a lot of freedom in planning your day and focusing on your own self-care. Some will like to read on the beach or relax by the pool, others may like to learn surfing. And a few may become regulars at the on-site spa. Participants will be able to take part in a Karma Yoga project, helping local community members.
Come back lighthearted, sun-kissed, and ready for the holiday season!

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.
