Ashley McGee + Special Guests
Join Ashley McGee + special guests for a six night Y O G A + S U R F + A R T Retreat in lush, magical Playa Guiones, Nosara, Costa Rica. We will bask in Costa Rican Pura Vida and its abundance: swimming and surfing in the ocean, bathing in the sun and the moon, feeling the sand beneath our feet, honoring mother nature and everything she has to offer, moving our bodies, observing our breath, finding beauty, finding inspiration, finding peace. During our retreat each day, we will focus on one or more yogic philosophies that are foundational to the practice of yoga. There will undoubtedly be a palpable shift between retreat arrival and departure. This will be a group of loving, creative, adventurous, fun, warm souls that have historically built friendships coming out of this retreat. You are free to be as active and involved or as mellow and removed as you would like. We are at your service and will always do our best to make your retreat wishes come true.
