There is nothing like yoga with EMILY SHAPIRO. Her energy, grace, excitement, and music choices are intoxicating. Emily's yoga is an integral part of our workshops.

The Tico-owned Surf School AGUA TIBIA consistently receives glowing reviews from happy surfers year after year. There's no coming to Nosara without testing out the warm waves, so we're thrilled AGUA TIBIA will join us again this year to teach us the ways of these amazing waters. Our retreat offers two lessons, though we highly encourage you to take more.

Nosara is magic. It truly is. It's not just a beautiful beach, an impressive jungle, bright stars, unforgettable sunsets, sweet people, pipas and avocados. It's much more than the sum of it parts. There's something in the air and it's not just the smell of the molasses paved roads. It is a special place indeed.

The Harmony Hotel is a profound centerpoint in Nosara. "The hotel is situated a stone's throw from a pristine surf break with consistent year-round waves. But it is much more than that. It is a place for community and ideas - an ideal space for contemplation and deep relaxation." You can see why we're thrilled The Harmony is hosting Pura Vida Peartree.
