Ayurveda: Life is the combination of body, senses, mind and reincarnation soul. Ayurveda is the most sacred science of life, beneficial to humans both in this world and the world beyond. (Charaka Samita, Suthrasthana)

Ayurveda is commonly known as the ”sister” science to Yoga that is primarily aimed at self-healing. During my upcoming retreat, we will be looking at this system. Jen, the co-founder of Nereus Retreats, trained as an Ayurvedic practitioner will guide some discussion to better understand this and to see how we can incorporate aspects in our daily lives.

Check out the details for the opportunity to take some time for yourself at this amazing place with amazing people.

I can personally say the trips to the family run cacao kitchen and Corcovado National park are amazing experiences. The perfect addition to any yoga retreat, especially one that starts 23 November 😄

A key feature of any retreat is food! Nereus takes care to provide fresh ingredients while taking into account dietary restrictions and preferences. Fresh meals made with care and joy are great nourishment. You can experience this for yourself during a yoga retreat I will be hosting there 23-30 Nov. 😄

We had a wonderful tour of Brigadoon Village today. It was part of the preparations for The Big Swim as my amazing wife will do the swimming part while I support in the kayak. It is such an amazing organization that benefits so many of our children. Take a few minutes to check their story https://brigadoonvillage.org/

I‘ve been asked “Why do a yoga retreat in Costa Rica in November?”. Well, it is the opportunity to experience a tropical jungle from a different perspective due to the time of the year. The end of November is a transition period from the rainy to the dry season, which is when we usually seek out trips to that area. Perhaps this different perspective will also bring your yoga practice view through a different lens?

Did you know that Costa Rica does not change clocks for daylight savings time? Also, due to its proximity to the equator, the Osa Península has pretty much the same daily sunrise and sunset time all year round from approximately 0515 to 1745? To experience this for yourself, join my upcoming yoga retreat from 23-30 Nov at the beautiful Nereus Retreats 😁
Keep watching for more details ☀️

Did you know Costa Rica is a producer of cacao? That cacao trees are grafted, similar to grape vines? That the cacao starts out as a white coloured seeds of a fruit? There is a fermentation process that must be completed? So many interesting facts that are available during a tour to a local, family owned, cacao producer. Similar to the journey of yoga, the journey of the cacao to a chocolate bar is a story of transformation. If the possibility of this tour and the journey of yoga interests you, keep an eye here for more details on my upcoming yoga retreat in November 😁
