Yoga

There is nothing quite like yoga with EMILY SHAPIRO. Her energy, grace, excitement, and music choices are truly intoxicating. Emily's yoga classes are an integral part of this workshop. Her ability to foster each individual's unique movements and relate them to our individuality as creative beings comes through with each class. We can't wait for you to discover and fall in love with her flows.

Nosara + The Harmony Hotel

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. 

The Harmony Hotel is a profound centerpoint in Nosara. This eco-chic hotel provides all the amenities one might crave on vacation without any pretension. "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." We're in alignment with The Harmony Hotel and thrilled they continue to host Pura Vida Peartree.
