Thanksgiving is about gratitude and being thankful for our blessings. This year, why not spend the Thanksgiving holidays giving thanks for all that is good in life on a rejuvenating yoga retreat in Costa Rica at Playa Nicuesa Rainforest Lodge.
Imagine retreating from the busyness of everyday life to relax and restore your energy in the rainforest, with 80-degree warm gulf waters at your doorstep and monkeys, Scarlet Macaws and coatis as your neighbors.
Starting Nov. 23, 2014, the Yoga Meditation and Sound retreat with international yoga instructor Shonna Annapurna Brown and international recording artist John William Bauld, lasts five, six or seven nights. You choose how long you will stay.
The yoga retreat includes two daily yoga classes, meditation, and evening kirtan concerts with the instructors. Yoga classes will be classical hatha yoga, which improves breathing, flexibility, strength and vitality in the body while calming the mind. There also will be Mantrasana Yogawith live music, a meditative hatha yoga class set to live mantra music; and restorative yoga. Yoga classes will be held on the beautiful yoga deck on the beach (shaded) or at the tree canopy-level main lodge building.
Kirtan is soothing participatory music using ancient Sanskrit mantras that opens the heart, purifies the mind, and generates harmony and divine love, retreat information explains.
The retreat package includes accommodation at Playa Nicuesa Rainforest Lodge for five, six or seven nights, all meals, boat transfers, guided adventure activities, unlimited self-guided hikes in the preserve, use of kayaks, snorkeling and fishing equipment.
