SUNFLOWER RETREATS' YOGA AND ACTIVITY HOLIDAYS ON THE PACIFIC COAST OF COSTA RICA
We have been offering yoga and soul wellness retreats in the beautiful Blue zone Nicoya Peninsula Costa Rica since 2014 .
Our Costa Rica retreats are once-in-a-lifetime holiday which give you the chance to practice yoga in a tropical paradise and to experience the rich culture and diverse wildlife of this amazing country.
As well as the opportunity to practise yoga with an experienced teacher and enjoy Ayurvedic and holistic therapies, there's a fantastic programme of optional activities to help you experience the best of Costa Rica and build great bonds with other yogis and fellow international travellers.
There are many discount flights to Costa Rica via Europe and the United States and travel from the UK is even easier (and cheaper) now that British Airways has direct flights from London Gatwick to Costa Rica .
With all year round warmth and sunshine in the Nicoya Peninsula Costa Rica making it an ideal place to visit even in the Greener season, read more about its weather on; http://nicoyapeninsula.com/weather.php

BLUE ZONE
Both of our retreat locations in Casperia Italy and in Costa Rica are within the famous Blue Zones where people live longer than the average.
There are five places listed in the World where people live longer and healthier lives, Costa Rica with its 'Pura Vida' (pure life) philosophy is one such heavenly place
The secret seems as simple as - connection with community and family, purpose, a positive outlook ( often supported by belief in God) locomotion as in gentle regular movement like gardening, dancing, walking and of course a natural local diet.
“I wanted to say on behalf of the whole group: THANK YOU! We had a brilliant time and really appreciated all your support to make the retreat practice as comfortable as possible. You were fantastic hosts and you all really went out of their way for us! Everything was an absolute delight and Lawrence and Mario were enjoyable company during our jungle Cabo blanco forest trip! We all loved it and I hope hope to return one day with another group.”
“Lucy and Allen are magnificent!!! Lucy has been a healer for 30 years and incorporated all of her wisdom in all she did with me. I came to Sunflower Retreats needing to fill my soul from care taking for a loved one. That is just what she did guiding me through yin yoga and many healing modalities such as reiki and chakra cleansing. On top of that the location was incredibly beautiful and healing practicing in the comfort of a warm embrace from the jungle and with the rhythmic sound of waves crashing in the background.
Allen was just as amazing in his own right. He took care of all of my adventures and logistics making everything so easy and added a depth to each conversation with his consciousness.
Being a caretaker at this time, it was my time to be cared for and that is exactly what they did for me. I will be forever grateful I found Lucy and Allen. I left feeling more alive, peaceful, and free because of their divine gifts. ”
“Sunflower Retreats has given me two of the best weeks of my life. I did their week-long yoga retreat in Sperlonga, Italy 3 years ago, and I just finished another week retreat in Cubuya, Costa Rica. Both experiences were life changing. They select only the best yoga instructors and the practices focus on the spiritual aspects of yoga, not just the physical. Lucy and Alan customized my experience to what I needed/wanted and they were more than accommodating. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. The additional treatments (massage, reiki, etc) were world-class and the excursions were so unique and unforgettable. I would highly recommend both the Italy and Costa Rica retreats if you’re looking to be spiritually rejuvenated and immersed in a new culture. ”
