Newly opened Anamaya Boutique Hotel and Health Resort welcomes Spring through the practice of yoga. At the Anamaya Resort in Costa Rica “Health” is a part of their philosophy. They focus on the health of the Mind, Body & Spirit of their customers as well as on the health of the planet. The resort offers gourmet organic food, spa services, retreat packages and workshops all in accordance with a healthy lifestyle. Practicing yoga is a part of Anamaya’s health regime and has a Spring Yoga Retreat from April 10 – 17, 2010 that celebrates spring and shri in all its glory.
The popular Hindi symbol “Shri” has many meanings including: allure, beauty, radiance, flourish, light and loveliness. We are all attracted to beautiful things which signifies that we are united on many levels to each other and to nature. Shri is the beauty in life in its many forms and spring is a perfect time to glorify that beauty. Anamaya’s Spring Yoga Retreat is a perfect way to end a long cold winter.
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.
Your yoga classes, accommodations, and meals (3 organic meals a day) are included in the cost of the retreat. However, this retreat also includes a few unexpected extras. As a participant you will be given a tour of the Rainsong Wildlife Sanctuary and local Butterfly Gardens, a Canopy tour admission, and 50% off your first massage. For the week long retreat the prices range from $1495 – $2495 and if you sign-up before March 10th you will receive 20% off.
