Daily and weekly activities
Pick your adventure
Every day has two Muay Thai sessions, yoga, surfing at Playa Guiones, and a rotating mix of group outings to waterfalls, beaches, and local spots. Sit out what is not desired, show up for what is.
Catch some waves, bro
Have you ever wanted to try surfing? There is no better time and place to do it than with a professional surf instructor at the beautiful Playa Guiones.
Unwind and relax with yoga
Through yoga training, a deeper awareness of body movement is developed, flexibility is improved, and mental strength is enhanced, supporting focus, awareness, and drive throughout everyday life.
Dive and swim in beautiful waterfalls
Take an afternoon off from Muay Thai training and join the group on a trip to one of the most pristine waterfalls you will ever see.
Beach chats and sunsets
After the afternoon training session, a trip to the beach with the team follows for the day's debrief, watching the stunning sunsets that Costa Rica has to offer at Guiones Beach.
Relaxing massages and an infinity pool
This is an active retreat, but there will be plenty of time to relax. During downtime between sessions, a relaxing full-body massage can help release tension and loosen up the body.
