Joe Roberson and Ashley Litecky invite you
to an unforgettable retreat in the lush tropics of Costa Rica!
Eighth Annual
Winter Rejuvenation
Yoga Retreat
Pura Vida Wellness Retreat & Spa
Alajuella, Costa Rica
February 13-20, 2010

"My yoga retreat at Pura Vida was a wonderful vacation. It provided the right balance of yoga, relaxation, fun and activity. I came out of the retreat refreshed and rejuvenated. Joe is an excellent teacher-- he varied his routine to appeal to all levels and we practiced a new meditation technique every night. He is patient, relaxed and a very knowledgeable teacher. Yoga at sunrise and sunset at Pura Vida was something I looked forward to and enjoyed every day. The staff at Pura Vida is very professional and friendly. I enjoyed many of the unique treatments offered at Pura Vida and my favorite was Body Talk by Katya. Food is divine at Pura Vida. It is healthy, fresh and full of flavor. I often found myself looking forward to the next meal! I would highly recommend a week at the Pura Vida Resort with Joe Roberson. I came home relaxed and made many new friends." -Ayesha 2009

Their playful and explorative style of teaching invites students to step into their own inspiration with confidence and grace.
Along with twice-daily classes with Joseph and Ashley, you will have ample time to roam the lush gardens, swim in the pool and soak in the hot tub or hang out in a hammock.

Some last half the day, some an entire day. Choices are not limited to a butterfly & waterfall tour, a whitewater rafting adventure, a coffee plantation walk, a day at the beach, and volcano tours.
Please invite your non-yoga family & friends to come with you.
