The Retreat
Join Jenna and me in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica 2019! This retreat is going to be a chance to unwind and recharge with daily yoga classes, relaxing days poolside/on the beach (with a tea or cocktail in hand), and a number of activities. We want this to be luxurious (wifi, air conditioning, full bar, massages, great food), but you will be in the middle of a secluded tropical paradise and have the chance to fully escape in whatever capacity you choose. This retreat will be full of likeminded people who want to escape the craze and have fun! We believe in finding that balance, toting that fine line, so that you can live life to the fullest on this retreat and return restored and feeling stronger than you did when you left home (and hopefully make a few friends along the way).
