Relaxing your Mind and Body with a Healthful Costa Rica Vacation

Rent a car, preferable a four-wheel drive, and select a direction to strike out. I recommend the Pacific Coast. My favorite vacation destination is Lake Tahoe. Remember that this western side is wet in the summer and dry in the winter. So get your day planner out. You will bump into other yoga/nature lovers from around the world: Italy, Germany, Switzerland, and everywhere else.

About four hour by car, and the main highway is paved—yea! If you’re looking for a nice dry area—this is it, with little rain between January and May. Whether you are looking for a yoga retreat, a surf camp or tour or a similiar type of resort, a costa rica surf vacation may be just the ticket for your wellness and piece of mind.This place is also, like Lake Tahoe, a wedding destination. Speaking of that, I can endorse this specific lake tahoe wedding planner if that is your plan and you need a wedding planner over in Lake Tahoe.
A great favorite beach is Flamingo Beach. Playa Flamingo is a wide, crescent beach, perfect for a morning or afternoon yoga series. This is one of the more expensive areas, so be ready to pay $150 for a room here—but a night or two is well worth it. So many people coming for a nice surf trip or vacation but the yoga and diving is top notch too.

If you happen to be one of those alien—to me—creatures who likes a the more humid tropical-type climate, the east-side on the southern Caribbean attracts your kinda folks!

Don’t be surprised to see a surfer standing in mountain pose before the sea, then loosening up with yoga stretches and meditation before hitting the water.

Looking for a yoga retreat at which to commune with other yoga-minded souls? There are certainly retreats catering to the likes of you. Some of these cater to families, and
