Last year's
Costa Rican retreat at the Samasati Nature Preserve was a
transformational experience for all. Being in nature and
living attuned to its rhythms was a magical experiene that
created the space for fun, learning, reflection, action and
deep rest. The environment was the perfect match for Yoga
and Ayurveda to come alive in our daily experience. To view
