Join Lumos Instructors Alyssa Martin and Taft Bunn for a seven day, seven night retreat in Dominicalito, Costa Rica. A hidden gem of Costa Rica, Dominicalito is beach town meets rainforest. Situated in the lush Costa Ballena, this southern Pacific region of Costa Rica features unspoiled beauty and natural charm - the perfect location for our next Lumos Retreat! 

Come away with us and experience the magic!

Casa Kia Ora is comprised of two properties - Sabitha and Royal Sabitha, which are connected by a foot path and just a couple minutes walk to each other. Both properties have a pool. 

• Royal Sabitha consists of four private cabinas that make up four bedrooms, and a two-story main house that has one additional bedroom, a spacious communal kitchen, living area, and washer/dryer. 
• Sabitha consists of three private cabinas that make up three bedrooms and a main house that has a lounge area, a kitchen and an extra bathroom.
• Each private cabina has a bedroom with private patio, en suite bathroom/shower, a/c, fan, and wifi. The bedroom in the main house at Royal Sabitha also has a private en suite bathroom/shower, a/c, fan, and wifi. 
• Everyone will have access to the main houses for use of the kitchen, and washer/dryer.
• Royal Sabitha has an outdoor yoga deck where we will hold morning classes. Evening yoga classes will be held nearby at The Shala - an open air, covered yoga space located on Casa Kia Ora’s property. 
• Casa Kia Ora has been fully reserved by Lumos for this retreat!

Arrival and departure: Flights to/from Costa Rica are not included in retreat pricing. Flights in/out of Philadelphia to SJO generally include a layover, and are not non-stop. There are non-stop flights to SJO from Newark International Airport, which is a drive or Amtrak train ride away from Philadelphia. We recommend booking a flight that departs early in the morning of April 8th, which would arrive around 12-2 PM in SJO, and our transportation van will have the names of retreat attendees arriving in that time frame. For those who arrive later, we can assist with transportation but it will be at the attendees cost, as we have booked a shuttle for our attendees that will depart the airport at a set time. Our transportation back to SJO on April 15th will leave in the morning, arriving at the airport by noon. 

Meals & Dietary Needs: For all dietary restrictions (gluten, vegetarian, other allergies), please note your restrictions with your signup. For chef-prepared meals, we will be able to accommodate dietary restrictions. 

Private Classes: To schedule a private session with an instructor, please email info@lumosfitness.com. Private or semi-private classes are not included in the cost of the trip, but can be arranged. 

Are all activities required?: Everything on the retreat - including classes - is completely optional. This retreat is about taking care of yourself, and doing what feels best for you. 

Room Assignments: If you purchase one of the room options for a single bed that is a shared room, please note at time of purchase if you know someone else who is doing the same that you’d like to room with. Otherwise, we will assign you a roommate!

What is included?: Accommodations, meals on three days (breakfasts, lunches and dinners), a first night welcome dinner, some groceries we’ll be stocking the main house kitchens with, one room cleaning halfway through the trip, group shuttle transport to and from SJO to Casa Kia Ora, three activities on three of the days - kayak tour, canopy tour, and waterfall tour, and daily yoga and fitness classes. Casa Kia Ora is providing yoga mats and blocks! 

Activities are subject to change due to weather and other factors out of our control - in event a change is needed, a comparable excursion/activity will be scheduled. 

What is not included?: Airfare, transport to an airport like EWR if you do not fly out of Philadelphia, any additional activities or excursions booked by the attendee and transport to those additional activities/excursions, meals on three days we do not have the chef, any private yoga/fitness classes attendees would like to take, any alcoholic beverages, gratuities, gifts/purchases. 

What about weather? Our trip is planned for early April, before rainy season arrives in Costa Rica. But sometimes Mother Nature has other plans! In the event the weather does not cooperate for our outdoor activities or fitness classes, we’ll do our best to re-arrange the activities so that we are still offering as many of our planned activities as possible, and will host classes indoors in the main houses. 

What do I need to bring?: Fitness/workout clothes, sneakers/hiking shoes, swimsuits, sunscreen, any coverings, casual attire including layers, sunscreen, bug spray, passport.
