Class Details

We’re very excited to return to Nosara, Costa Rica an amazing oasis you won't soon forget. Days will begin with a mid morning surf lesson led by local instructors, a perfect opportunity to experience the thrill of catching your first wave. After surfing, enjoy a relaxing lunch by the pool, take a walk on the beach, or explore the charming community of Nosara. The afternoon wraps up with a two-hour Yoga-Pilates class in an open-air yoga studio surrounded by tropical gardens. Vinyasa Flow focused on alignment and breath, pairs beautifully with Pilates movements incorporating modern exercise principles and promoting balance and core strength. What better skills to have while learning to surf?! There’ll be plenty of time to practice the art of “rest” with a good book by the pool, the gentle rock of a hammock or the luxury of an afternoon nap. Evenings are spent enjoying the camaraderie of like-minded individuals or indulging in a quiet evening of self-reflection. Here, you can escape the hectic pace of everyday life. Relax. Hear yourself think. And soak up some well-deserved tropical sunshine!
