About this trip

 

Come experience PURA VIDA first hand while resetting, rejuvenating and recharging your heart, mind and body. There will be plenty of yoga, fitness, delicious food, rest and relaxation as well as playful adventures to be had in this beautiful and peaceful country. 


Celebrate yourself and join me on this amazing adventure as I return for the sixth time  to Encantada Ocean Cottages. This boutique resort is on the magnificent beaches of Esterillos Este. You will have the opportunity to participate daily in a mind/body yoga practice which will be held in an open air yoga rancho.  There will also be opportunities for beach front workouts as well as guided meditations. How much or how little you do, is totally up to YOU! 


The staff at Encantada will prepare delicious meals in an open fire wood oven. There will be plenty of choices for adventures such as a monkey mangrove tour, horseback riding, waterfall hikes, the avatar experience, zip lining, beach front massages and great surf lessons.

This was an amazing trip. Greatly needed in my busy stressful life. All the women were amazing, funny, and powerful. So happy I was apart of such an experience. Mandy did such an incredible job organizing Root to Rise. We needed for absolutely nothing. We were feed emotionally, spiritually and physically-exercise and yoga, along with the best foods to eat for our bodies. Lastly, the resort is just breath taking, and the staff are kind and warm. I'm excited for next year.

Having never been on a yoga retreat before, I had no idea what to expect. With that being said, I was hoping this trip would be a good blend of relaxation, adventure, great company, and amazing food - it turned out to be this and so much more! Mandy was an incredible retreat leader! She was so helpful along the way and made going into this trip effortless. Mandy created such a welcoming and fun environment ensuring all had the best time. I will certainly be attending her 2021 yoga retreat wherever that takes us!
