Well, here it is almost New Year’s and Nosara is heating up. Yoga retreats at Costa Rica Yoga Spa are in full swing and thriving yoga adventures are happening. Last night, after a wonderful vegetarian meal with new arrivals to Costa Rica Yoga Spa from afar we had the experience of a lifetime at La Luna Restaraunt with an amazing show of a D.J./ sita player that took the party by storm.

In 20 years, I haven’t seen such talent at the playa. This duo from Argentina and Costa Rica who had another DJ on break was purely magical. 150 people were spellbound by the Jimi Hendrix of sitar backed by electical beats illuminating off the starry night sky. Our guests were amazed and inspired by what Nosara had to offer.

The Blue Spirit and Nosara Yoga crews were out in full force making this the pinnacle equation of unity of the yogic vibe for the Nosara yogi community. A big thanks to Gonca and Gunther for having these musician here in such a special place as it was the classiest showcase yet at La Luna. Costa Rica Yoga Spa has endorsed this band to play here at a later date for our own Yoga retreat mountain reunion party and it will be great to reinvent this magic. All of our guests were taken back and were instantly brought into the realty of Nosara magic.

Thanks again to La Luna for your support and inviting the Costa Rica yoga spa to another stellar event that will be remembered by all. Nothing short of our highest expectations!

Ecotourism is a natural in Costa Rica considering the country covers a mere .03 percent of the planet’s surface and the country is blessed with 6% of all life forms on earth, which translates to an amazing 30,000 species of plants and animals.  Last year alone, there were 37 new bird species discovered!!!!

Travelers from around the world have discovered the incredible biodiversity that Costa Rica has to offer. The locals, affectionately called “Tico’s” realize the importance of preserving their natural surroundings which has been a major factor in tourism.  A quarter of Costa Rica’s entire area is protected in National Parks, wildlife refuges, and reserves – no other nation in the world has ever actively protected this percentage of land per capita.

The geographic diversity of Costa Rica runs from beautiful, pristine beaches to active volcanic areas, with lush rainforests, cloud forests, white-water rivers – all with an abundance of diverse wildlife.  Travelers wanting to explore this diversion may glimpse iguanas lounging in trees or riverbanks, monkeys in the trees and birdwatching just doesn’t get much better.

Not only does Costa Rica have an  abundance of wildlife and stunning scenery but it also is graced with an almost idyllic climate, with temperatures ranging from 70 to 90 degrees Faherenheit.  Costa Rica has rainy and dry seasons, with rainy season starting in May through the beginning of November, and is referred to as our “winter” or “green” season.  This can be the best season because of the richness – the jungle becomes so lush and green – ahhhh, the smell of this lushness is so good for the senses. You can watch the plants grow after a good rain – so good for the soul to witness nature so closely and vividly as you take quiet strolls through the organic gardens or nature trails.

Costa Rica is a land of endless adventure, contact Costa Rica Yoga Spa  today to see and experience beautiful Costa Rica.

In December of 2009, I returned to Costa Rica for a well needed vacation, as I was preparing to close the yoga studio that I had owned for the past 8 years. For the duration of 2009, my heart was calling me in a new direction, one where I would be focusing my teaching energy towards training Yoga teachers and leading students on Yoga retreats, adventures and journeys into their highest potential. My mantra for 2009 became, “I am committing to teach Yoga Teacher Training and Retreats“. Although I have been teaching teachers for the past 8 years, I realized that my plate became too full with additional responsibilities and commitments, and I just wanted to simplify my work, life and intentions. I started to sound like a broken record, but stayed steadfast, not knowing how it would take shape or even where it would lead me in the new decade ahead.

On my return to Nosara, I synchronistically ran into a good friend who I had met 10 years ago, while I was in Nosara completing my advanced teacher training with Don and Amba. I saw Yesim across the restaurant, and it was as though time fast forwarded from the year 2000 to the present moment. We immediately recognized one another, and, like a best friend, whose spirit you just don’t forget, we picked up the moment from where we last left off. She invited me to visit her at the Costa Rica Yoga Spa, where she was the chef.

The next day, I made my visit to the land that I had passed many times before. I often drove past this spot and felt that there was something special beyond the Aztec wall that marked the entrance. One moment led to the next, and the next thing I knew, I was in a business meeting with Jill, planning out the next phase of my Yoga and teaching journey. Standing at the top of the land, overlooking the mangrove trees and the Pacific Ocean, I felt as though I was “home again”. I saw and felt this home in the reflection of the surroundings of nature and this new community of support that welcomed me.

I am deeply honored to be a part of this creative endeavor and spirit filled land, and am so excited to facilitate Costa Rica Yoga Spa’s inaugural Teacher Training program. Each day, I am more and more inspired to create a unique training experience, where the nature of the surroundings supports the Yoga journey. Join me on an amazing adventure ahead!
