March 25-31, 2012
with Jessica Bellofatto and Adam Kelinson
Picture this - Long white sandy beaches, unspoiled rainforest, and an amazing group of like-minded individuals to share a fantastic experience in a pressure-free environment. Conceived by Adam Kelinson, owner and director of Organic Performance and author of The Athlete’s Plate: Real Food for High Performance and Jessica Bellofatto, owner of KamaDeva Yoga, this Athlete's Performance retreat includes a blend of daily yoga, beach running, surfing, and nutritional guidance, support, and education with enough free time for restoration and all important recovery, all complimented by outrageously fresh local cuisine against the backdrop of paradise. Perfect for yogis, triathletes, surfers of all levels and anyone living an active lifestyle. Participants will experience the benefits of yoga, nutrition, and fitness all in one day. Come experience the exhilaration of catching a wave and the peace that is nurtured from a daily yoga practice and reconnection with nature.
Surfing in Costa Rica
We are pleased to announce that we have partnered up together for all of our Nosara
retreat surf instruction with Safari Surf School! Surfing on our retreats is entirely optional. Whether you are an experienced surfer or have yet to surf your first wave, Nosara is an amazing surf spot!
Accomodation
La Casa Que Canta is a beautiful home perched on a hilltop property surrounded by pure Costa Rican jungle - with panoramic ocean and canopy views. These pristine eight acres are frequented daily by Howler monkeys, parrots and other jungle critters way too numerous to count. It is the perfect getaway for surfers, naturalists, explorers and those who enjoy a little of all of the above.
Our home includes two beautifully-furnished casas. The main house has one large master bath and two bedrooms; one with a king canopy bed and the other with a king and single bed. The second house sleeps four with one king bed, a queen bed loft and a large attached bath.
La Casa Que Canta has a modern kitchen and most modern amenities with a bar serving counter that is perfect for big meals. An infinity and splash pool with a waterfall (from which to watch the sun set over the Pacific) makes this property feel like your own private resort.
Yoga
Practice YOGA twice daily with Jessica, who has over 18 years of experience teaching Yoga to students of ALL levels, and is an athlete and surfer herself, giving the keen understanding of the special needs of the active individual.
Food
Each morning we will start the day with fresh juices, smoothies, herbal tea, a deluxe breakfast and, of course, fragrant Costa Rica coffee. Adam Kelinson will create delicious dishes that nourish the body and enliven the senses, while ensuring each meal is carefully crafted to support all of our activities and accommodate any special dietary needs and taste preferences. You’ll love Costa Rica’s local tropical fruits like pineapple, papaya, starfruit, and citrus. Adam always utilizes the freshest ingredients with a strong emphasis on using organic and local produce.
*All meals are included, with the exception of three lunches and two dinners where you’ll be free to explore some fabulous local restaurants.
