Costa Rica Yoga and Wellness Retreat
Blue Spirit in Nosara Costa Rica

April 14 - 21

A Message from Julia

We're going back! I can honestly say that I have not been more relaxed all year than I was at Blue Spirit Retreat Center this past April, 2011. It is GORGEOUS there, and it was such a trip to remember that we are returning. This coming year, Natalie Ullmann is joining Gina Middleton and myself as teachers. Yay! We promise you a rejuvenating and fun yoga, fitness and wellness retreat that will have a profound affect on your subtle, physical and spiritual body. The studio where we conduct classes is simply beautiful. The whole place is! Not to mention the land itself. Costa Rica is famously beautiful. Make the commitment to yourself to take some time for YOU next Spring. It will be an experience you will not forget. Blue Spirit is a magnificent location and once again we have put together a program of optional classes and individual and group activities for the perfect relaxing and transformative get-away. Plus, you will deepen your yoga practice regardless of your level. Oh, and then there's always the fact that you'll be in paradise!

See our Blue Spirit rates page for more information on the variety of accommodations.

A review from 2011.

"Blue Spirit was one of the best experiences of my life. The actual facility was breathtaking, the yoga and food were incredible. (It was hard to eat veggies and seafood when I got home...spoiled in Nosara). This is a not to be missed vacation. Dawn T."
