Costa Rica Yoga Spa Testimonials

"Just wanted to write you a quick note to thank you so much for a beautiful week. We had such a wonderful time and really enjoyed meeting you and your family. Can't thank you enough for all of your generous and warm hospitality. It truly was above and beyond.

I've arrived safely at the school. So, hopefully I'll be writing you e-mails in Spanish soon!!"

Take care,
Olivia

"You have all created a magical place there and the love that you put into it emanates from every beam and post. You were such thoughtful hosts and we felt so lucky to be there...I found the awareness and appreciation I was looking for as well as some time to write. By the end of the trip I could find beauty in every single thing, from the expanse of jungle surrounding us to the garden hose hanging by the pool. This fast-paced life makes it so difficult to notice things and I'm having a tough time "keeping up" since being home..."

Love,
Jane

"Thank you so much for the great experience I had at your house!! I really enjoyed meeting you, Ben and Darrin and felt like a part of your family. I won't forget all of those delicious meals in your company! It's hard to tell what was the most memorable, the yoga classes were exceptional, the horseback riding and swimming in the waves and the surfing were all great. Maybe the most amazing was relating to the monkeys so close up, that was so much fun!

Anyway, I definitely have to come back with my husband!"

"The week I spent at Costa Rica Yoga Spa in May 2010 was wonderful! I loved everything about my trip. The Spa is located on a hill in the rainforest near the Pacific Ocean. My room with private balcony was beautifully decorated and had a view of rainforest and ocean. The yoga teacher Monika was first-rate and tuned into my specific needs. She also gave me two incredible Thai Yoga massages. While doing yoga in the open-air yoga pavillion you overlook the beautiful scenery and ocean and listen to the howler monkeys.

My hosts were generous and accommodating. The vegetarian meals were delicious and prepared by talented cooks. I had plenty of time for other activities. I observed monkeys several times near the Spa, had a surfing lesson that was very exciting, went swimming in the waves a few times, and went horseback riding along the gorgeous beaches. I definitely want to go back there again!"

Warm Regards,

"I had such a magical time at the Costa Rica Yoga Spa!! From the sunrises and sunsets to the amazing people of Nosara. Jill and Ben were so welcoming and helpful in showing me around the beautiful town of Nosara. My 25th birthday was truly a blessing. Monica was so kind and made the yoga experience one of the best birthday presents a girl could ask for with the rising and setting sun during our beautiful yoga sessions.

The food was fresh and delicious and made me feel healthy and revived. There is so much to do in that great town of Nosara where rarely you pass anyone and they don't respond with a friendly hola!

Of course, I will be back! Nosara is simply Pura Vida. The time spent in Nosara, Costa Rica has marked a special place in my heart. Thank you Ben and Jill and your adorable dog Ruby for your kind welcome during my FIRST trip to Costa Rica. Go to the Costa Rica Yoga Spa and fall in love with all the beauty that surrounds you! Thanks again."

One Love,
Melissa

"I just returned from another great Costa Rican adventure. This time I was lucky to be invited to stay at the Costa Rica Yoga spa as a guest of my friend Ashley who was teaching a three-week yoga immersion program. I had such a great stay that it motivated me to spread the word about this awesome place...click here to read the rest of the testimonial.
