A Heart of the Village Yoga Retreat led by Bob Speck, E-RYT 500 and Jo Kirsch, E-RYT 500
It’s our fifth time returning to the Rip Jack Inn on Playa Grande!
December 3-10, 2024 – Rip Jack Inn, Playa Grande, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica
Join us for a week of yoga and adventure in beautiful Costa Rica. Return to your natural state of balance, harmony and peace, while practicing yoga in this tranquil and rejuvenating setting. We’ll stay at the Rip Jack Inn, a Boutique Hotel located just 245 feet from the beach in Playa Grande, Costa Rica. Rip Jack Inn has a beautiful Yoga Shala, a world class restaurant with some of the best food in the country, swimming pools and more. Playa Grande is a National Park that protects the Leatherback Turtle with miles of pristine beaches along the Pacific Ocean.
This is a wonderful opportunity to nurture your body, mind and soul with morning meditation, revitalizing and balancing yoga classes, delicious food, and great company. There will be plenty of free time daily to relax and play, explore the beautiful beaches and gorgeous ocean of Playa Grande. If you have a partner or a family member who would love a tropical vacation, but is not “into yoga”, that’s okay too. There is plenty to explore and lots of time to enjoy the beach and the surrounding area. Or, maybe this is the time they can get “turned on” to the practices, which will be accessible to Every Body (and always optional)!
