spring awakening in costa rica

march 14-21, 2027 – Playa Hermosa

Join Jennifer Gray and Jennifer Golden in the lush tropics of Costa Rica! Immerse yourself in the jungle and renew the body, mind and spirit at the Vida Asana School of Yoga & Eco-Retreat Center.

Located between the jungle and the world-famous beaches of Playa Hermosa, the Vida Asana School of Yoga and Eco-Retreat Center provides easy access to activities, excursions, restaurants and shopping, yet offers a peaceful jungle setting to relax and restore. In addition to daily yoga and meditation, you will be able to soak in the sun at the pool or bike 5 minutes to the beach. A 60 minute deep-tissue massage is included and there will be many opportunities for group or solo excursions, including hiking, ziplining, horseback riding and surfing.
