About this trip

Come away and experience the abundant life through therapeutic yoga practices, nourishing meals, thoughtful teachings, rich vibrant community, and plenty of time for relaxation and play! 


Join Kelly McLellan on the beautiful beaches of Costa Rica where she will guide you in daily Christ-centered yoga practices in the beach front, open air yoga shala while fresh locally sourced, meals are lovingly prepared for you by the friendly and caring staff. 


Soak up the pristine beaches, take it easy by the pool, or indulge in one of the dreamy optional activities like touring the monkey mangroves, horseback riding on the beach, hiking to waterfalls, zip lining in the jungle, taking a surf lesson or relaxing with a massage on the beach, we can help you plan your next adventure.


Together, we will take a deep dive into health, happiness, and wellbeing as we explore the intersections between holistic wellness and Christian living as we consider what it means to embody your faith as a follower of Christ.
