Simpleveda
Ayurveda + Yoga Retreat
Pura Vida! I’m beyond thrilled to be hosting your next wellness retreat in one of the most magical blue zones in Costa Rica. This will be my 3rd visit to this particular area of Costa Rica – it truly is my om away from home. I can’t wait to share this experience and the serenity of the blue zone with you as I host, teach, and offer you the kind of retreat that I would want to attend.
There will be plenty of time to unplug, rest, and reconnect with YOU. I also want to immerse you in the culture and the amazing people who live here. Some of what you can expect is an opportunity to contribute to the ecosystem by planting a tree with one of my favorite organizations, snorkeling with the beloved sea turtles, horseback riding, ziplining on one of the tallest and longest ziplines, and a visit to the local farmers market. From our farmers market finds, I will offer a cooking class with my favorite Costa Rican chef! Of course, there will be yoga, sunrise meditations, and offerings to support you in taking this experience home with you.
I strive to create an experience that is fun, relaxing, and expansive. Join me in watching some of the best sunsets I’ve ever seen!

MEET YOUR HOST
Christina Vargas
Ayurveda Health Practitioner | Yoga Therapist
Hi, I’m honored you’re here.
I am thrilled to host my next retreat in Nosara, a BLUE ZONE of Costa Rica, an incredible place to remember your true nature.
As a long-time yoga teacher, certified Ayurvedic practitioner, and sound practitioner, I enjoy integrating many modalities of wellness during my retreats.
Immersing yourself in nature, with vibrant food, therapeutic yoga, lots of time for mental rest, and conversations about manifestation, living well, and loving life create the perfect environment for growth and learning.
I will offer the kind of retreat I want to go on. No over-planned days – we will move our bodies each morning with a yoga class, and then we’ll spend time doing other things with our bodies; jungle walks, surfing (beginners welcome!), getting a massage, or endless walks on the beach.
I look forward to sharing this week with you!
LOCATION
Welcome To Nosara
Your Costa Rican Om Away From Home
In 2013, in the quaint surf town of Guinness, and just steps away from the beach, Jade was born and has won numerous awards for its design.
You’ll wake to the tropical gardens, howler monkeys, and exotic birds and after a day at the beach, you can enjoy a refreshing swim in the serene saltwater pool.
Around both sides of the pool are 5 stand-alone bungalows with private terraces. There are two additional private garden bungalows covered in lush flora and fauna where you will see hummingbirds and butterflies.
All rooms have private en-suite bathrooms, AC, wifi, and safe, with room to relax and spend time alone.
The common dining area and yoga shala are bright, open, airy and surrounded by local vegetation.
What I love about our location is that we are the only group on site. The staff is positive, happy, and ready to help with whatever you need.
