COSTA RICA WORKSHOP
FEBRUARY 7-14, 2009

‘Sweet journey to heavenly COSTA RICA’
Ashtanga Yoga Retreat with Joanne & Mark DARBY
Montezuma, COSTA RICA
Immerse yourself deeply in the Ashtanga Yoga practice with Joanne & Mark Darby.
Enjoy an unforgettable retreat at Hotel Los Mangos, facing the waves of the Pacific Ocean,
in the secluded village of Montezuma, on the Western shores of Costa Rica.
Montezuma is nested in the southern Nicoya Peninsula, and is surrounded by a bountiful rainforest,
unspoiled beaches and breathtaking waterfalls.
Travelers “in the know” enjoy this quaint and adventure loving town not only for its eclectic shops
and fresh food eateries but especially for the outskirts of the town and the nearby nature reserve.
Costa Rica is an important natural resources pillar,
well- known for its abundant wild life and extensive protected areas.
*
Yoga & Meditation
Your one-week retreat includes daily Ashtanga Yoga and meditation classes.
The practice, along with a deepening awareness of the breath, will restore and purify the body,
leaving the mind balanced, focused, and awakening insight into the true nature of reality.
Classes will be held in an open, wooden- floored pavilion overlooking the pool as well as the Pacific Ocean!
You will get the chance to deeply relax with the sound of the ocean’s waves cresting
upon one another and the breezy palm trees rustling overhead.
*
Hotel Los Mangos
We will be staying at the beautiful Hotel Los Mangos, located on the beach,
just a few minutes by walk from Montezuma.
Rooms and bungalows are set in a mango orchard,
looking out to the ocean! Embrace the serene atmosphere of the exotic garden,
the view on the pool and stunning sunsets on the Pacific.

Breakfast will be served in a vegetarian restaurant, Organico,
and dinner will be provided in the best restaurant, Playa de Los Artistas, located on the ocean front.
The restaurant has been mentioned 3 years in a row by the New York Times
as one of the best places in Costa Rica, serving delicious food!
*
Local Activities
Montezuma is very close to a large natural beach reserve and to wildlife refuges
(Cabo Blanco National Parks, Curù wildlife reserve or the Nicolás Wessberg Absolute Natural Reserve)
where you will find secluded natural pools and spectacular waterfalls
and where you can witness hordes of monkeys, red and black mo-hawked squirrels,
toucans and many more.
