About this trip

DISCOVER THE ALCHEMY OF YOGA & PARADISE TO NOURISH THE BODY & SOUL.


Where the lush jungle meets warm sand, where monkeys play just above lapping waves, our beach house oasis is the site of an epic experiment in the yogic science of alchemy. What happens when we combine daily yoga & meditation, healing food, conscious community, crystal blue ocean, white sand beaches, laughter & jungle adventures while practicing techniques for infusing our lives with greater sense of gratitude, purpose & ease?


A one minute jungle walk to three pristine miles of white sand beach is the site of our temple oasis. When we aren't exploring our body-mind on the mat or playing in the world class waves that accommodate both pro and novice surfers, relax in a hammock underneath the shade of the open aired Rancho lined with beautiful teak wood, take some laps in the pool or enjoy the abundant local culture of 'pure vida' (pure life!). 


Optional adventures and lessons include surfing, kayaking, paddle boarding through the jungle on the Nosara River, adventurous ATV rides to waterfalls, or soaring from peak to peak over the jungle on one of the world's longest zip-lines!

 

A portion of proceeds will be donated to the Nosara Refuge for Wildlife.

Getting to Nosara

Travel to the secluded beauty of Nosara is not as complex as it might seem. Often the best locations are not quick to arrive at- this way we get more privacy, less tourists and a more pristine paradise. 


Liberia Airport (LIR) is the closest airport,  being two hours drive by shuttle to the natural beauty of Nosara. The retreat starts at 4pm on Nov. 12th. You are welcome to get settled into our home at any time that day and we are happy to suggest hotels and airbnb's in either Nosara or near the Liberia airport if you are extending your stay or if your flight is arriving late before the retreat or leaving early after the retreat.

Start your flight search on Orbitz.. If you have flexibility, click on the flexible date option. It is often better to fly down on one airline and back on another. Once you located the best flight for you, try booking direct through the airline to see if pricing is comparable. Should any challenge arrive, it is always easier to deal directly with an airline than a third party.

Keep in mind that if you are willing to fly from either Sacramento, LAX or San Jose you might find a greater abundance of flight options at a lower price. 


If you arrive late, you can take a quick curbside cab to your hotel of choice near the airport. When you are ready to head to the retreat center, take a private or group shuttle through Gypsy CabGypsy Cab Nosara has two daily shuttles traveling from (LIR) to our front door for only $45 per person. We are happy to help coordinate with other guests arrival times so that you may share a cab. Otherwise, you are happy to help you book a convenient private cab for yourself for $130 one way. Private shuttles must be reserved at least 48 hours in advance by filling out this form


The site of our retreat is just a one minute walk to the beach and all of the restaurants and shops are also walkable so we recommend not renting a car for the drive (unless you are feeling adventurous). 


Let us know how we can help you book easy travel for this delicious yoga vacation. Feel free to call us at (530) 213-3046 or email us at exploringbodymindfreedom@gmail.com or hebersole@gmail.com for more flight tips and information and for help booking yours.

Hayley & Kelli organized an amazing Mountain top yoga retreat. Our group enjoyed a large and luxurious home as our base camp. The views and facilities were incredible, inspiring and complemented the yoga classes which were thoughtfully curated for us. We had delicious meals 3x day to keep us nourished. The last day of summer-like weather in the Sierra's we took a long hike through the trails near Donner Summit. We witnessed the first snow storm of the season the following evening. The next day we enjoyed soaking in the nearby hot springs as the winter weather set in. I would highly recommend attending one of Hayley's yoga retreats. Greg

I desperately needed to get away from the daily grind. I was so grateful when a friend reached out and invited me to a yoga retreat at Mt. Shasta. Words cannot express how amazing the yoga retreat was from beginning to end. Everyone was so welcoming I felt relaxed the moment I arrived. Hayley is an excellent yoga instructor and what makes her unique beyond her knowledge of yoga is her passion and the holistic approach she takes towards teaching, incorporating the earth elements with the mind, body and spirit. She has an innate ability to simultaneously connect with a group and individuals, tailoring her instruction to fit the various skill level of each unique person. The food was beyond amazing! Kelli and her team of chefs did a phenomenal job, the food harmonized nicely with the retreat and the natural beauty of Mt. Shasta. It was the most delicious food I’ve eaten in my entire life. I’m 100% serious! No joke! I’m am truly grateful for the experience and look forward to a future retreat with Hayley.

I am not a "retreat" person and really only barely a yoga person. So, I approached this long weekend with some trepidation. Hayley didn't merely make this experience enjoyable, she made it extraordinary. Every single detail - from the exquisite farm fresh meals to the varieties of movement (yoga, body work, qi gong, etc.) - was thoroughly considered to curate three and half days of rejuvenation. Participants ranged from professional yoga instructors to total novices and everyone was able to fully participate and enjoy. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Words can not express how wonderful this retreat was. It was clearly planned with love and attention at evey level - from the yoga, to the food, to the opportunities for personal connection, free time, massage, adventure, and overall covid consciousness. The experience was much needed medicine of mind, body and spirit. I especally loved how Hayley varied the yoga she led us through twice a day to bring something new to every experience. I was blown away by the quality and taste of the food that Kelli and Ashley brought to every meal. I wish I could eat it all again. Finally, the cacao ceremony on the last night brought deep connection and awareness to our group, and to a delicious drink. I recommend a retreat with Hayley and Kelli to everyone!

What an amazing experience!!!! It was so nice to unplug from technology and a busy schedule. Hayley is an amazingly talented yoga teacher, and seamlessly integrates yoga with meditation and a connectedness to nature. The rest of the group was so kind, and the food was really awesome. I can't wait for the next one:)
