Exploring Yoga In The Middle Of The Rainforest At Naguala Jungle Lodge

Come escape from the fast pace of your everyday and discover the slower ‘Pura Vida’ lifestyle of the rainforest in Costa Rica. This retreat will give any yoga or nature enthusiast the opportunity to explore their practice in and among all the biodiversity Naguala Jungle Lodge has to offer. You will find peace during your eight days along side monkeys, fiery billed aracaris, morpho butterflies and more. There will be three fresh homemade meals (with a vegan option), two daily yoga or meditation practices either on a platform over looking a waterfall, on a beach by the ocean or up on a riverbank in front of a massive living green wall where the stillness will quiet any mind. There are two different waterfalls on property at Naguala to hike to, as well as a river to explore, walking trails and a lounge area with hammocks to lose yourself in. You will also want to book yourself a Thai massage, Reiki or Acupressure session to awaken your inner spirit and recharge your vital life force. This getaway will give you time to deepen your practice, transform and rejuvenate yourself with all the magnificent sounds of the rainforest around you and lots of sunshine mixed in you cannot go wrong. This experience will be one you will always cherish in your mind and will never forget. Right for You?
