Honor the coming of spring by indulging in a yoga retreat at the Anamaya Boutique Hotel in Montezuma, Costa Rica. Anamaya is committed to the health of the Mind, Body & Spirit and all of their initiatives reflect that. They serve organic food, offer a variety of spa services, and have numerous retreats that are all geared towards your health and wellness, as well as the health of the planet. Yoga is a key aspect towards a healthy way of living and Anamaya is offering a yoga retreat from April 10 – 17, 2010 that will celebrate the beauty of spring and shri.
Shri is a popular Hindi symbol that has a variety of meanings including: attractiveness, luster, light and loveliness. When you are attracted to beautiful things in life you are experiencing shri. Beautiful things attract other beautiful things which supports the idea that we are all connected to each other through the beauty of nature. Spring is a time of renewal and awakening, and it’s a time when beauty is in abundance. The perfect way to welcome spring is through Anamaya’s Spring Yoga Retreat.
The yoga retreat classes will be run by Anusara Inspired yoga instructor Daniella Cotreau CMT, RYT, BA. Cotreau’s style of yoga was founded by John Friend and is a type of the hatha form of yoga. The “Universal Principles of Alignment” and opening the heart are key aspects to this yoga practice. In class Cotreau will work along side her students giving detailed descriptions, helpful demonstrations, and clear verbal prompts.
Costa Rica is a beautiful Country and a perfect backdrop for a springtime yoga retreat and vacation. Cotreau says, “We will glorify our yoga practice with Shri. Just like the blossoming of spring – we get to blossom too.” At this retreat live musicians will accompany the two daily classes of Anusara Inspired yoga on Anamaya’s incredible yoga deck. Incredible in the sense that it overlooks the most stunning ocean view in the Montezuma area. It’s a view that you truly must see to believe.
There are a number of additional benefits included in the cost of this retreat adding value to the adventure. Price includes the yoga classes, accommodations, 3 organic meals a day and the use of the resort facilities; as well as a tour of the local Butterfly Gardens, a Canopy tour (aka Zip-Lining), entrance in the Rainsong Wildlife Sanctuary and 50% off a massage treatment. Prices range from $1495 – $2495 based on occupancy and accommodations; however Anamaya is offering a 20% discount for sign-ups before March 10th.
