Yoga

Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga, Morning Practices

In our Relax, Rest and Restore Women’s Retreat we will enjoying various Vinyasa and Hatha Yoga flows for Joy, Strength and Inner confidence.

“I love syncing my breath with my body, it’s a moving meditation which helps me to focus my mind and ultimately relax” – Carla

Yin Yoga, evening classes

Yin yoga works deeply into our body with passive, longer-held poses.

It targets the deepest tissues of the body, our connective tissues – ligaments, joints, bones, the deep fascia networks of the body and the meridians. Energetically, Yin yoga improves the energy flow, enhancing the flow of chi in the organs. To be healthy, we need healthy organs as well as healthy muscles. Yin yoga also offers wonderful emotional and mental health benefits.

A Yin yoga class usually consists of a series of long-held, passive floor poses that mainly work the lower part of the body – the hips, pelvis, inner thighs, lower spine. These areas are especially rich in connective tissues. The poses are held for up to five minutes

Surfing

Come find some of the best surfing in the world! Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced surfer, you will find Costa Rica has everything you need to experience all the ocean has to offer.

The waves outside of Calamocha Luxury Lodge tend to be smaller and less extreme. This creates an ideal place for those that have never surfed, or for people looking to get more beginner experience.

Just up the road you will find Hermosa Beach and Santa Teresa where you can watch some of the best local surfers reaping the benefits of years of practice.

We will spend a portion of our time also learning about reading waves and the shoreline. This is one of my favorite aspects of surfing. I can sit on my phone and have a very good idea about what the surf is like in most areas of the world. I will teach you how to navigate swell and duration.

We will look at reef and shore breaks. Learn to read any coastline just by watching waves break. Whether or not you stay committed to surfing, this training will give you a much more dynamic understanding of the ocean and a much deeper appreciation of how a wave is formed.

Cuisine

Vegetarian meals will be prepared on site for this retreat. Calamocha Luxury Lodge has their own resident fully trained chef. All meals will be made using locally sourced produce where possible. New experiences and adventures need to be fed by delicious, wholesome and exquisite food.

We will all be going out for one night for dinner in Santa Teresa and there are local grocery shops near the venue if there is anything extra you need
