Here is a sneak peek at what you can look forward to at Pura Vida Spa!

See what other attendees thought about Pura Vida:

A Revolutionary Approach: Our Body-Based Breathwork is a gentle, heart-opening, self-healing process that utilizes the power of a circular connected breathing to awaken your being. By consciously activating the breath, you’ll connect with the deep intelligence of the body, mind, and heart. This practice softens tensions held from physical, emotional, and mental traumas, which may have caused contraction and protective ways of coping. Breathing freely empowers us to embrace full presence, connect deeply with our bodies, and dissolve tensions, moving towards a conscious, happy, and fulfilling life. The benefits of breathwork can include:

• Reduced anxiety and depression and enhances mood
• Increased stress-resilience and regulation of the nervous system
• Feelings of more ease and flow in life
• Decreased physical pain and increased freedom of movement
• Heightened intuitive insight and self-awareness
• Awakened presence and feeling uplifted
• Expanded sense of connection with others

Power of Sound Healing: In Breath, Body & Sound we couple breath with the transformative power of sound healing. Sound healing operates on the principle that everything in the universe vibrates, including every bone, tissue, organ, and cell in our bodies. Optimal “sound” health is achieved when these vibrations harmonize at their resonant frequencies. When our vibration is out of sync, we may feel out of sorts, depleted and imbalanced. Profound effects happen when we couple breath with sound, enhancing our body’s resonance and promoting a healthy vibration. It is in this state that we deepen relaxation, reduce anxiety and tension, heighten awareness and get a boost to the immune system.

All-inclusive package:
• 7 day / 6 night all-inclusive retreat begins at $1699 per person with reduced non-attendee companion pricing available
• Delicious health-minded meals all made with fresh, seasonal ingredients with vegetarian, chicken and fish options.
• Onsite Wellness Centre with Aquatic bodywork, Asian bodywork, Ayurvedic treatments, Therapeutic bodywork, facial skin care, body scrubs and sound healing
• Outdoor swimming pool and hot tub
• Round-trip airport shuttle transfer is included to Pura Vida Spa from SJO International airport
• Availability of experienced retreat facilitators with global travel experience
• Massage therapists receive 21 NCBTMB continuing education hours
• Open to all interested in breathwork and meditation
