Yoga + Surfing NICARAGUA

November 9-15, 2024

Join Stacey …

…for an inspiring adventure on a hillside ecological resort just steps away from a secluded beach in Nicaragua, where a fresh river meets the Pacific Ocean.  You will find yourself at a premier eco-resort surrounded by lush, protected nature reserves, abundant wildlife, and great surf.  Rest, Nourish, Rejuvenate and Revitalize your mind, body and spirit through alignment based yoga, accessible breath-work, and peaceful meditation.  Spend 7 days & 6 nights discovering all Costa Dulce has to offer with optional surfing lessons, eco-spa treatments, Temazcal (Mesoamerican sweat lodge), ecstatic dance, cold plunge & sauna, turtle conservation, jungle walks & more.  If you appreciate meaningful connections, breathtaking nature adventures, and gourmet local cuisine paired with inspiring sustainable design and ethics, this retreat is for you!

THE PRACTICE

All yoga is practiced in one of three fresh, open-air yoga shalas perched on the hillside in the middle of the jungle with panoramic ocean views.

Mornings will consist of a more dynamic yoga practice, awakening and energizing to prepare the body for the day.  Afternoons will focus on calming & restorative practices designed to promote relaxation, release tension, and nourish the body and mind.  Regardless of yoga experience, Stacey emphasizes inclusivity and offers modifications to accommodate all levels of practitioners.  Bringing together 25+ years of study and practice, inclusive of Bikram’s Beginning Yoga, Vinyasa, Yin-Restorative, Iyengar, Meditation and Breathwork, Stacey’s loving support shimmers in her teachings, as she leaves her students feeling free and optimistic, knowing it’s never too late to live a better quality of life. 

A SENSE OF PLACE

Costa Dulce is a premier eco-lodge resort in Nicaragua that combines breathtaking natural beauty, sustainability practices, community building, and personal growth opportunities to create a truly unique and enriching experience.  Located on a beautiful beach nestled on the southern Pacific Coast of Nicaragua.  The river Escameca Grande flows into the ocean just to south end of the beach creating a sacred meeting of waters.

Imagine falling asleep to the sound of crashing waves, swimming in a refreshing waterfall and practicing yoga surrounded by jungle with a breathtaking view of the ocean.

By creating a space that fosters community, environmental awareness, and personal growth, Costa Dulce aims to inspire guests to take these principles back to their own lives and make a positive impact on the world.

GETTING THERE

Costa Dulce is easily reachable from Managua, Nicaragua (MGA) international airport.

Once you are on the ground, it is just a 2-2.5 hour drive through the beautiful Nicaraguan countryside directly to Costa Dulce. Airport transfers are organized directly through Costa Dulce.

NUTRITION

La Dulce Cocina prioritizes serving healthy and vibrant food sourced from their own farm, with a focus on locally grown ingredients.  Using fresh, seasonal elements means the menu is constantly evolving to reflect the change of seasons.  Great importance is placed on catering to individual dietary needs and will reflect the restrictions or preferences of the guests.

By serving delicious and wholesome food that prioritizes health, sustainability, and community, La Dolce Cocina offers a truly nourishing experience.  You can expect a menu that embraces fresh flavors, seasonality, and the satisfaction of knowing that your meal is not only good for you but also benefits the environment and local communities.

ACCOMMODATION

Rustic luxury best describes the bungalows and cabins. Expect stunning views, balconies with hammocks, comfortable beds, and warm water showers.  Each of the bungalows and cabins has been designed with surrounding trees and plants taken into account and, in some cases, the trees grow through the building!  All have been built to take advantage of the local Papagayo winds to keep you cool without using too much electricity. The eco-lodge greywater is processed and used to water the garden and grow food for guests. Wifi is available throughout the property.
