‘Connecting to Nature’s Flow’!

Yoga and water based activities are recognised as proven ways to finding your flow state… but what is ‘Flow State’? !!Mihaly Csíkszentmihályi, a Hungarian/American Psychologist outlines his theory that people are happiest when they are in a state of flow — a state of concentration or complete absorption with the activity or task at hand. It is a state in which people are so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter. !!The idea of flow is identical to the feeling of being ’in the zone’ or ’in the groove’. Flow State is an optimal state of intrinsic motivation, where the person is fully absorbed in what they are doing. This is a feeling everyone has at times, characterised by a feeling of great engagement, fulfilment and skill, during which temporal concerns, (time, ego, other thoughts etc.) are typically ignored. !!A retreat is a beautiful gift you can give yourself! They are designed to help you slow down, unwind and reset your energy levels, as well as truly relax in your surroundings, so you can return home feeling refreshed and inspired by what you have learnt and practiced with like-minded people. !!What better way to find your flow than to be immersed in nature in one of the top Five Blue Zones in the world and Nosara being known worldwide for it’s spectacular Yoga and Surf activities within Costa Rica.!!Yoga practices are held in an open-air Shala, surrounded by jungle, where you can truly connect to the sounds of nature and wildlife, as well as breathing clean air with no distractions. Guided by some of the best surf instructors in Nosara, we will also venture in to the beautiful waves to work further on our flow state on two surf trips. !!If you have never considered Costa Rica as a country to visit, now is your opportunity to embrace the ‘Pura Vida’ lifestyle, connect to the flow of nature and fully recharge.!!!!!!

Join us in the heart of the Costa Rican jungle for an unforgettable experience at Nosara’s premiere yoga and surf retreat! Jungles Edge, just outside Playa Guiones near Nosara has been called a ‘Yoga Mecca’ because of the ideal location and community presence, in fact the entire town embraces the yogi mentality of peace, health and balance. Jungles Edge accommodation, as you may have guessed… nestles within the jungle, Just 15 mins walk from the pristine beaches of Guiones on the West Coast. National Geographic Adventurer rated Playa Guiones as one of the Top 20 Surf Locations in the world. !!Costa Rica is a place that captures people and once you have experienced the magic you never let it go! They attribute this to the relaxed and mindful lifestyle, an abundance of activities and sights to see, plus the overall happiness and enjoyment of the local culture. Costa Rica is home to incredible surf, amazing scenery, stunning settings for yoga and accompanied by some of the nicest people on the planet.!!Lotus Suite accommodation is surrounded by over 500 Costa Rican banana trees, luscious plants and flowers that extend from the bordering jungle. The suites come with deluxe linens and mattresses, bath towels are provided and they offer maid & laundry services. We offer a choice of single occupancy with a queen bed or twin occupancy with two beds and are equipped with their own bathroom, air conditioning and fridge. !!Jungles Edge chefs take pride in serving healthy, local ingredients with a traditional Costa Rican flare and all of the three delicious meals each day come with beautiful presentation and meticulously prepared. !!!!!!
