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’m going to offer the kind of retreat I want to go on. No overplanned days – we will move our bodies with a morning yoga class each day, and then we’ll spend time doing other things with our bodies like surfing (beginners welcome!), getting a massage, or beautiful walks on the beach.

I look forward to this week with you!

LOCATION

Welcome To Nosara

Jade Retreat Center

In 2013, in the quaint surf town of Guinness, Jade was born and has won numerous awards for its design.

Wake up to the tropical gardens, howler monkeys, and exotic birds. 

After a day at the beach, 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, 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.

Words can not describe the gratitude I have for meeting Christina, joining on her retreats, cleanses and having her as my practitioner. Her treatments, knowledge and care helps you back to balance and have det beautiful side effect, of me feeling more content, happy and healthy! She is a light and her knowledge goes beyond this life! Seeing Christina in person, is magical and is the best stress antidote by far – but after moving back to Denmark I am beyond grateful, that she also offers online consultations as well! So people all over the world can benefit from her knowledge and love for supporting others to a better life! Dallas/ Fort Worth area – you are so lucky to have Christina next by! Can’t wait for Christina to come to Denmark and spread her love and support to the Scandinavian people! Thank you for everything your beautiful soul! <3 Looking forward to seeing you soon!

The retreat in Tulum was the perfect atmosphere to escape everyday life, helping to unplug and focus on actually relaxing. The retreat’s location was steps away from the beach providing a beautiful backdrop for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. An added benefit was having fantastic meals prepared by the staff that took into consideration our dietary concerns. Through Christina’s guiding in Tulum, I was able to make connections with old and new friends creating memories that I look back on with fondness.

I can’t speak highly enough of my experience on retreat with Christina in Costa Rica.  From the beautiful location to the amazing food, every detail seemed to have been considered with care and intention.  I learned a ton, made unexpected friends and came home reinvigorated.  What I loved best was the perfect balance of the schedule – a pace blending relaxation, self care and adventure that felt neither rushed nor too slow.  Definitely a reset I needed and will be doing again!Making the decision to step away from my duties as a wife and mother for a week of total self-care was the best choice I’ve ever made. I was able to unplug and recharge and came home a much better person that could give my family the absolute best!

Om Away From Home offered me the opportunity to reset the basic tenets of a healthy lifestyle that we tend to ignore in our overly booked home lives. Not having to worry about the details, every meal was delicious as it was nutritious. Freeing up our time to meditate, practice yoga, or just enjoy the gorgeous beach. It was a much-needed breath of fresh air that gave me a new perspective to take on the rest of the year reinvigorated. I’m so looking forward to going back.

I went on a weekend women’s nourishing retreat hosted by Christina/SimpleVeda. It was very informative and Christina has a wealth of information when learning more about the Ayurvedic practice. She is very approachable and can serve people on any level of their journey to a more holistic way of living.
