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

Hot Yoga 26 Extravaganza is open to everyone, from the beginner who has never even ever tried a Bikram Yoga class, to experienced practitioners and Bikram Yoga teachers. The series is 26 poses and two breathing exercises always done in the same sequence and timing, but every time it is different because the practitioner enters class with a different body, mindset and daily experience. The yoga series is designed to strengthen and open up the body; calm the mind and achieve a “Moving Meditation.” By practicing the same poses, iconic poses like Standing Head to Knee, Standing Bow-Pulling, Triangle, Camel and Rabbit, the practitioner becomes very adept at the 3 “B’s,” breathing, balancing and bending.

This is our home studio, YogaSol in Norwalk, Connecticut, 21st Annual Bikram Yoga/Hot Yoga 26 annual retreat. Nineteen have taken place at the Pura Vida Spa which is a very special retreat center because it has a beautiful hot yoga studio and it has a friendly tranquil and spiritual vibe. Many of our group hail from all over the United States, not only Connecticut but New York, Michigan, Florida, Minnesota and Colorado. A lot of them come back every year to celebrate the yoga, our friendships and natural exquisiteness of Costa Rica.

In addition to two Hot Yoga 26 classes a day, we do a mid-week Posture Clinic and beach trip to the Pacific Ocean at Jaco, we take hikes in the coffee plantation across the street from the Pura Vida Spa and some of us play tennis and pickleball at the local tennis club. The Wellness treatments at the Pura Vida Spa are wonderful and the solar-heated pool and hot tub are excellent ways to relax in between classes.

Rates start at $1820 USD p/p in a shared tentalow.  Other room types available.
