Strength is not just about physical power—it’s about resilience, stability, and the courage to face life’s challenges with confidence. Our Strength & Yoga Retreat is an immersive experience designed to help you build both outer and inner strength through intentional movement and mindfulness activities. Through yoga, strength-building practices, and self-reflection, you’ll develop a deeper connection to your body while cultivating the mental and emotional fortitude to move through life with grace. Step into your power, find your foundation, and emerge feeling stronger, more grounded, and fully aligned.

Surrounded by pristine beaches and a vibrant, eco-conscious community, you’ll have the perfect setting to step into a container for calmness and curiosity. Soaking in the natural beauty, you’ll leave feeling renewed, inspired, and deeply connected to Costa Rica’s mantra, Pura Vida—Pure Life.

Flying to Costa Rica:
Recommend flying into Liberia Airport (LIR) - the closest international airport, approximately a 2.5-hour drive from Nosara/Bodhi.
Additional options:
San Jose International (SJO) - approximately a 5-hour drive from Nosara or requires a connection to Liberia on a regional flight (smaller plane) with the domestic airline SANSA.
Nosara National Airport (NOB) - approximately a 20 min drive from Nosara but offering regional flights only (an option if you are already in country prior to the retreat)
Ground Transportation:Bodhi will coordinate your ground transportation to the property from one of the 3 airports above, for an additional fee to be paid by each individual retreater. If you are interested in securing ground transportation services, please read the below information. If you will already be in Costa Rica ahead of time traveling to Bodhi not from an airport, Bodhi can still offer to arrange your transportation services if you provide us with your starting address (however please note that price estimates cannot be given until closer to travel and may be higher than airport rates below).
By December 1, all retreaters will need to send their round trip flight details (or the pickup address request within Costa Rica).
Bodhi will create a shuttle service schedule based on your arrival details & airport location. These details will be sent back to you approx 1 month prior to the retreat.
Upon arrival at the airport, drivers will be waiting for participants at the main exit of the arrivals section of each airport, holding a Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort sign for easy identification.
The price of the shuttle will be charged to your room, and will depend on the final schedule, which airport and how many passengers travel at the same time (for example, if 4 or more retreaters land at similar times you will be able to share vehicles and reduce your individual cost).
