Pura Vida - a barefoot retreat

RipJack Inn | Playa Grande, Costa Rica

A women’s surf & yoga retreat | April 6-13, 2024

“And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.” — Kahil Gibran

Pura Vida translates to the “pure life” or “simple life.” Steeped in a deep sense of gratitude, Pura Vida is not just a saying in Costa Rica, but a way of being- happy, stress free and laid back. Remove your shoes, feel the sand and salt in between your toes, and allow your stress to wash away with the waves on this barefoot women’s yoga & surf retreat.

Come deeply nourish yourself in nature at Playa Grande, surrounded by lush jungle, warm breezes, sand and surf. RipJack Inn is located a quiet, surf town with uncrowded waves in a picturesque tropical setting. Peaceful RipJack Inn is in a small Costa Rican town, located about 20 minutes from Tamarindo and just over an hour from the Liberia airport. Indulge in twice daily yoga, breathwork, meditation classes and ceremonies with Chelsea in the two on-property yoga shalas. Enjoy fresh locally sourced Tico & American inspired meals featuring local seafood, and accommodating vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free diets. Spend your free time napping in the hammocks, surfing, boogie boarding, walking the beach, hiking, exploring or relaxing poolside in one of the two on site pools. Accommodations just steps from the Pacific Ocean, with plenty of spaces to relax and recharge, while surrounded by lush local flora and fauna.

Take time to slow down, come back to your mat, and deeply connect with yourself and others. Disconnect, take a week for deep self care, and enjoy the “Pura Vida!”

All yoga and surf levels are welcome.
