Your Host, Christy
Hello, I'm Christy! I have been leading retreats since 2013. This will be my 4th retreat in Costa Rica and is a very special one. After our previous center closed down, I took a trip back to the Nicoya Peninsula to visit old friends and new spaces to host retreats and trainings.* When I arrived at Sunrise Mountain I knew we had found something special.
This Yoga retreat will be held high up in the trees with an ocean view, banana trees, and gorgeous, elegant, Balinese designed Villas. we have this luxurious space all to ourselves, but are only 5 minutes from the lively Santa Teresa with its gorgeous beaches.
I've designed this experience with the intention for us to slow down, move tension out, and to make way for deeper connection to ourselves and to our magnificent natural surroundings. This place in this world is so dear to my heart and I can't wait to share it with you!
*You can follow the journey of visiting all 7 on my Instagram.

Meet our Chef, Russell Taplin!
Originally from the south coast of England I am now based in Santa Teresa, a special little beach town on the tip of Costa Rica's Nicoya peninsula. My journey has led me from being a surf instructor and running a guesthouse to becoming a private chef, retreat host and believer in the power of a vegan lifestyle and plant medicine to bring about a more conscious, loving and compassionate world.
Food plays an integral part in our lives and, like good music, has the power to touch our hearts, bodies and soul in a meaningful way so why not make it a beautiful experience? I believe food should be natural and organic, nourishing on every level and that we should take a more conscious approach to how we consume and to life in general.
I love creating delicious, beautiful food full of fantastic flavor that will fully satisfy both vegans and non-vegans alike.
Russ will be preparing 3 delicious and nourishing meals for us each day.
