About this trip

Get ready! TWO LITTLE BIRDS (that’s US!) is migrating to Nicaragua next May for a week of wellness, culture and adventure. Expect our OG vibes… like yoga, ceremony, creativity, education and FUN, while exploring ALL NEW, WORLD CLASS SURF & TURF! We will also have an opportunity to learn about and give back to the community in a unique and special way that keeps the good vibes flowing in all directions


*A portion of your tuition will go directly back into supporting the people and area that we are visiting. This group is intentionally kept small to maintain an intimate vibe, a lesser footprint, and a chiller experience, all around.


More details on all the awesomeness included below.

Also, check out our gorgeous new OCEAN FRONT haunt here:  MALIBU POPOYO


WHY RETREAT with US?

Surf+Soul+Español is an invitation to join a group of like-minded, and sometimes unlike-minded people, to settle into a circle of trust, curiosity and adventure. While you will be well taken care of, we might also get a little dirty, sweaty and bug bitten. We'll definitely laugh and probably cry. We will try new things and gain awareness on how our presence impacts the people and places we visit. This is also a retreat into ourselves, a chance to look within, stretch ourselves, confront fears, break wide open and explore new ways to heal. If that sounds like your jam, we are your happy place!


PLEASE NOTE:  ALL completed payments are NON-REFUNDABLE.  Your tuition requests will be billed to you in installations, outlined below. Should the trip be canceled on our end for some unforeseen reason, a combination of credit toward a future SSE retreat and cash refund will be applied. We are here for you and don't want to leave you hanging, and we really appreciate you planning responsibly by purchasing travel insurance.

TRAVEL

TRAVEL TO POPOYO

Fly into Augusto Cesar Sandino International Airport (MGA) in Managua, Nicaragua. As soon as you’re booked, forward your flight info to Nicole at powerrestoreyoga@gmail.com, along with any questions, so we can arrange airport transfers to get you to Popoyo. We’ve got you! 


Should you need to spend the night in Managua due to a late flight, there is an old-school Best Western literally across the street from the airport. Not fancy (at all), but very convenient: BEST WESTERN LAS MERCEDES AIRPORT


TRAVEL TIPS

We recommend that you begin tracking flights to Managua now on Google Flights. For the sake of flight planning, our retreat officially begins with 6pm dinner on May 3 and ends May 9 after breakfast; some retreaters might leave earlier in the morning on May 9 for flights.


SHUTTLES TO/FROM AIRPORT

We will arrange your airport transfers for you between Augusto Cesar Sandino International Airport (MGA) and Malibu Popoyo. The shuttles are their own little adventure and can be a fun time to get to know one another, volcano gaze, practice your Spanish with your driver or nap off a red-eye.


MAKE SURE YOUR PASSPORT IS UP TO DATE 

It’s best if it's got at least 6 months beyond our travel date before expiring. Plant it in a safe place, and don't forget where that special place is. You will need your passport to register for the retreat.


TRAVEL INSURANCE IS REQUIRED

Check out insuremytrip.com, select the “Cancel for Any Reason” policy to peruse your options.

Nicole Koch & Beverly Jane Peatross

Nicole and Beverly Jane’s collision course toward yoga destiny happened over an extended playdate with their then kindergarten boys. Both yoga instructors, with a penchant toward non- chalance, the two got along famously. When Nicole moved to Nosara, Costa Rica and started working at Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort, she knew a retreat was in order. And Beverly Jane proved to be the perfect partner. While quite different from the outside, Beverly Jane and Nicole both share the same attitude toward life, love and yoga. They have been told (more than once) that their yin/yang combo, individual teaching styles and unique passion for how and what they teach create a beautiful and cohesive blend. This happy confluence of talent and energy already has and will continue to result in a beautiful, lively, introspective and yes, potentially life altering retreat experience. For more info, enjoy pursuing their individual bios and websites on our main trip page.

Nicole and Beverly Jane are an amazing duo to get the most out of your retreat with them. I always leave their retreats with a great reset. I was nourished with good food, my spirit was nourished with dropping in and tapping in and my energy pathways were opened up with chi gong, wild river cold plunging in the Yuba river (38 degrees!), yoga and breathwork. ❤️ Plus, I connected with amazing ladies and my old friends from past retreats. We all need this from time to time and boost the ability to integrate into your daily life.

A long-time OG retreat fan of these two, hard to pass their offerings up. Each and every retreat exceeds expectations. For me, It’s been all about the expansion, the love & the practices that invite us to push our edges just enough to experience a sense of release. Best part? You don’t have to be a super nimble yogi or a seasoned journaler (in fact there’s a line in a poem Nicole likes to recite about how she “didn’t journal about it, she just let go…”). So don’t journal about it, or buy a bunch of new yoga outfits, just LET Go, and gooooooo…..

Amazing! So grateful to have joined Nicole and Beverly Jane for this beautiful and transformative weekend. It was deeply nourishing for my heart and soul. They clearly put so much love into creating such a special experience for all of us. I can't list all of the amazing things about it, but they included unbelievable sound baths and Beverly Jane's songs, the most amazing and energetic breath work session, yoga, yoga, yoga, hot springs, Nicole's powerful stories of her own healing journey, hanging out with the other women there, participating in a cacao ceremony and gathering in such a cozy, beautiful lodge.

A more transformational weekend could not be had! The magic that Nicole and Beverly Jane create is indescribable, but the experience is always one of deep connection with self and others. This is not *just* yoga, this is an opportunity to reset and reimagine your place in the world.
