Yoga & Nature Immersion in Costa Rica
with Amy Spurlock + Jenna Kuiper
March 6-14, 2027
Join us for a special retreat in Chirripo, the ‘land of eternal waters. We will gather at Río Chirripó Lodge, tucked into a cloud forest valley at the base of Costa Rica’s tallest mountain, where the sounds of the Chirrupó River rise up to the yoga deck. This is your invitation to step out of routine, invigorate and refine your practice, and relax into the rhythm of nature.
Enjoy warm sunny days and cool mountain evenings surrounded by vibrant waters, where your mind can settle and your body remembers how to breathe fully again.
Explore your inner world, elevate and refine your practice with daily two-hour morning and evening yoga classes.
Midday brings opportunities to rest or explore the surrounding area through mindful excursions. We will enjoy intentional moments of increased perception in silence, immersed wholly in nature, while hiking and connecting through painting and writing.
We’ll wander the trails and waterfalls of Cloudbridge Nature Reserve, explore the extraordinary Secret Gardens, and harvest fragrant herbs from the land at Agua Santa, a local botanical apothecary where we will craft our own hydrosol / essential oil.
In addition to these activities we will enjoy a fireside talk with a local to learn about the land, history, indigenous peoples and culture.
