Casa Verde Raw Food Yoga Hiking Retreat

It is truly remarkable what Wendy created in the Cloud Forest. Everything at Casa Verde was curated to perfection. It is a true retreat that allowed me to get more in touch with nature and myself. Wendy refines every aspect of the retreat she offers - from having the most colorful meals, to having the best yoga teacher, and down to exotic flower arrangement and interior design of the cabin. I stayed at the Orchid, which is the cabin separate from the main house. It is surrounded by the lush forest and the french windows makes you feel even closer to nature.

The entire experience exceeded all my expectations. I was learning every day during my stay - about healthy living, yoga, nature, what is possible with raw food and myself. I would definitely return to Casa Verde and cannot thank Wendy enough for sharing her knowledge and passion. You changed me forever!

Tip for future guests- follow the packing list, it goes a long way during your stay!

Casa Verde (and Wendy) exceeded my expectations. Wendy’s knowledge of yoga, nutrition, and nature is vast. I am so thankful she passionately and willingly shared so many unknown gifts and tricks about living a healthier lifestyle. Because of Wendy and my experience at Casa Verde, I will never be the same :) Thanks for helping me to deepen my yoga practice, as well as discover how to apply more wisdom, awareness and joy to my every day life!

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful cloud forest cabin! Wendy was a gracious host, and offered a wonderful yoga class for us. The air was fresh, and we felt so secluded from the hectic outside world. Highly recommend!

This was an amazing life changing experience for my mind, body, and soul. You become detached from the hustle of daily life to focus on the most important aspects of life.

Wendy is awesome and she opened me up to a whole new world of raw food, vegan/vegetarianism, and ashtanga yoga. I recommend following her pre retreat advice about food elimination as this made my daily raw transition flawless. All meals are colorful and taste great. I never found myself hungry between meals or craving those foods I eliminated. I see now that food is life and medicine that can prevent and cure chronic medical problems and cancer.

Accommodations are great along with beautiful hiking trails and hidden water falls/springs.

Post trip I have continued being vegetarian and have shared this exciting hidden food knowledge with my friends and family. I plan to continue my ashtanga yoga journey as I developed more confidence and strength in my yoga practice with the help of Wendy! I plan to do my part in reducing my daily carbon footprint in this world.

I came to Casa Verde Raw Yoga Hiking Retreat feeling exhausted, depressed and lost. After 10 days there with Wendy I left feeling full of life, energized, focused and excited about life again! Plus I lost 11 pounds there on an amazing Raw food diet. I would highly recommend this retreat!
