Riding horses and doing yoga in Costa Rica is a great way to start the New Year, I’ve decided. Cowgirl Yoga, Pura Vida style was a perfect reset for mind, body and spirit. I had my first gallop on the beach – 45 seconds of pure euphoria that I will be reliving many a time. The tropical air was a natural hot yoga studio that felt purifying (vs. stifling). And in addition to my own joy with horses and yoga, I got to share this with others. I came home feeling lighter. Clean and sparkly.
One thing I’m always pondering is how to make retreat magic last. How do we take home that joy, that lighter feeling? The idea for a Costa Rica cleanse was born, to offer ways to recreate that feeling at home. Clean and light – that’s what we’re going for. We all want that, but sometimes we get in our own way. It’s more challenging when we’re not on retreat.
So, I’m going back for more later this year to try to take this to the next level. We just added the LUXE Cowgirl Yoga Cleanse in Costa Rica for November 2016, with our lovely partner Equisol. It’s a pre-holiday season detox, to kickstart your health and immunity at a time of year when you might be tempted to do otherwise. So why not start the season out on the right foot? It makes sense. It will expand and encourage the possibilities for good health, without being extreme or uncomfortable.
