Learn to live the Pura Vida lifestyle as a family. “Pura Vida” means pure life or good life. It’s an expression that means all is well, peace, all good. It’s used here as an expression of greeting and checking in.

What’s it like to live Pura Vida? Yoga, surf, sunsets, waterfalls and bonfires to start. It’s laid back and easy going. Slow moving.

In today’s fast paced world we often get caught up in to do lists and rushing from one thing to the next. Our kids feel it, and relationships suffer. 

Why not take a pause the whole family will enjoy?

During this 10 day retreat, you will have the opportunity to practice yoga together, treat yourself to private massages, learn to surf, swim in gorgeous waterfalls and so much more! Enjoy family group activities while also soaking up some solo time. 

Stay together in a gorgeous vacation rental home and connect when you want with other families doing the same.

It’s time to adventure together, heal together and play together! Join us this November 17-27 in Uvita, Costa Rica for the vacation of a lifetime!

Hi, I’m Courtney, an ex-gymnast, spinally fused, 18-year yogi, Ashtangi, trained in India, whose practice draws from hatha, kundalini and vinyasa. My heart-centered approach evokes an understanding of interconnectedness through a focus on self-love, nature and seva (service). The intention being for my students to discover the light within that ignites their path to inner peace, the connection which opens the heart to universal love.

After 10 years as a competitive gymnast, lower back surgery brought my athletic ability to a halt. Looking for a way to ease the pain and regain strength and flexibility, I discovered yoga and immediately fell in love with the practice, quickly learning its transformational power over the mind and path to freedom. Embarking on this journey meant a lifelong quest for self-knowledge, love, and humility. In 2010 I volunteered in India and earned my yoga teaching certification. My time in India inspired me to establish my own NGO, Kids’ Foundation for Uniting Nations which connects and inspires kids around the world to initiate positive change through service.
