Inner Dimension
Costa Rica Yoga Retreat – A Path of Transformation

We will meet at Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort, a one-of-a-kind yoga retreat center, located in Nosara, Costa Rica, near sandy beaches and pristine nature. Your flights or ground transportation from/to Liberia International Airport is not included in your ticket price, but we can help arrange convenient group shuttles closer to the date. For ticket holders, we will email you with this info closer to the date.

We’ve structured the retreat to be suitable for both newer and experienced yogis. Adjustments will be suggested for all levels, in particular during our more vigorous power yoga practices so everyone is welcome!

Weather is unpredictable and we make no guarantees, but according to our research, July can be a great month for Nosara weather. Although it’s the third month of Costa Rica’s seven-month rainy season, a weather phenomenon called veranillo (“little summer”) means sunny days can dominate for weeks. The average maximum daytime temperature in Nosara in July lies at 32.0°C (89.6°F) and the average minimum temperature goes down to around 22.5°C (72.5°F).

Bodhi Tree has a variety of spacious and beautiful practice spaces both indoor and with open air. Subject to weather conditions, we intend to utilize a variety of options. Get ready for some epic views!

We’re currently expecting around 30-40 registrants.

In addition to clothes, toiletries, and other things you would normally pack for a trip like this, we recommend you bring the following: passport, travel and medical insurance cards, beach bag, yoga clothes, flip flops, bathing suit, light sweaters or wraps for cooler nights, closed toe shoes or water shoes (if hiking or running), sunscreen, sun hat, water bottle, natural bug repellent, mobile charger, your special medication, a light raincoat or rain-poncho, etc.

All yoga mats and props will be available at the hotel so no need to bring if you’d rather not!

Rooms will generally be available for check in at 2:00 PM. Check out is at 11:00 AM.

Tax and tip for all group meals, classes and activities are included in your registration price so no need to tip separately after group meals, classes or activities. Otherwise, tipping the support staff at Bodhi Tree is encouraged and appreciated. For your convenience, Bodhi Tree will add a $10 per day option onto your room charge at the end of your stay. Prior to check out, you will have the ability to accept, decline or add an additional amount. Please do not feel obligated to accept as this option is only for your convenience. This money gets divided among all staff from housekeeping to the front desk. The only groups that do not get included in this are the Juice Bar staff, Bartenders and Massage Therapists.

Lauren and Travis are hoping that the retreat can be an immersive experience for you to reconnect to your practice, reflect inwards and bond with fellow community members. So we recommend things like enjoying the beach or pool, journaling, walking/sitting meditation or just even rest during break times. Spa treatments are also available and you can sign up online (not included in ticket price, more details here). If you’re the adventurous type and are looking for more action, the resort offers a variety of excursions that you can sign up for individually as well (more info here). Please note, to the extent you sign up for any personal excursions, it will be on your own dime and at your own risk.

This retreat is about taking care of yourself so please feel free to do what feels appropriate and best for your body, mind and spirit.

Bodhi Tree offers an array of hot and refreshing cold soups, an excellent buffet of veggies and salads, organic chicken and fish. We will also provide vegan and dairy/gluten free options. Please make sure to note any dietary restrictions you have during registration and Bodhi Tree will do its best to provide for your special meal needs. Organic wine and artisanal beer is available for purchase with your dinner separately.

As far as we’re concerned, this retreat is ON! Please note, we are only human and there are always things outside of our reasonable control (such as boarders closing, acts of war & terrorism, natural disasters, etc.) that might require us to change plans, but that’s what travel insurance is for and this is a risk that you would have with any travel. So the answer is, whenever you feel comfortable.

Everyone’s situation is different and therefore it’s on you to research and confirm any visas or other travel documentation that might be required for you to enter Costa Rica based on your nationality, where you’re coming from, etc. Depending on your particular situation, you may need to apply for a visa, have a valid passport (that doesn’t expire for 6 months after your scheduled departure), etc. Below is some information the retreat center has shared with us:

TRAVEL TO BODHI TREE
Citizen of the US, Canada, and Panama may enter Costa Rica with a passport that remains valid at least 6 months after your travel date. Identification such as a driver’s license or birth certificate is no longer valid for travel to Costa Rica.

A valid passport allows Canadian, American, as well as most Latin American, and European citizens to stay for up to 90 days. Citizens of other countries may require a visa to enter Costa Rica.

Yes! Bodhi Tree offers group shuttles to and from Liberia International Airport for a modest fee. As we get closer to the retreat date, we’ll email registrants with more details and assist in organizing convenient ground transportation, aiming to group people together when possible. Please note that the journey can take between 2.5 to 3.5 hours, or possibly longer, depending on baggage retrieval, waiting for others in the group shuttle, and weather conditions. Be sure to plan your flights accordingly.

Even in the rare instance that Inner Dimension needs to cancel or reschedule the retreat due to “acts of god” including natural disasters, we will only be able to refund ticket costs at most, and would not in any instance be able to compensate you for other costs, such as flights booked, etc. Due to this concern, we highly recommend that you purchase personal travel insurance.

We suggest that you include “cancel for any reason” with your policy and include medical coverage. Many insurance policies must be purchased within 14 days of making your reservation so please prioritize accordingly. Some credit cards also come with travel insurance benefits which you might want to consider. Here is a helpful site to compare different policies based on your specific needs.

We don’t have a separate block for this but Bodhi Tree has informed us that they will try to accommodate guest requests as much as they can. Please email us at [email protected] for any requests.

In order to secure the venue and programming, Inner Dimension is required to enter into binding contracts with 3^rd parties that do not allow for refund or cancellation in any instance except for limited instances where “acts of god” render the entire event impossible. For example, if due to a wide spread issue, the retreat center must close down, then we would be able to get a refund and refund all ticket holders. Otherwise, unfortunately, we must enforce a strict cancellation policy and there will be no refunds in any instance. You may transfer your ticket under certain conditions. Also, purchasing trip insurance to protect yourself is always a good idea. 

You may transfer your ticket to another person up to 3-days before the retreat start date without penalty by emailing us at [email protected]. After that time, our strict cancellation policy applies.

Depending on the payment option you choose during check out, you will be automatically billed using the credit card on file so that all remaining balances have been fully paid at least 4 months in advance of retreat start (at time of ticket purchase, you’re only charged for the initial $1,000 deposit). As noted above, we have a strict cancellation policy with no refunds (including for any deposits) so please make sure you have sufficient funds ready to pay any remaining balances as they become due. If you prefer monthly billing or have any other questions or requests related to payment plans, feel free to contact us at [email protected]. 

Yes! Just email us at [email protected] with a description of your partner’s needs (for example, partner would like to participate in meals but skip the yoga classes, etc.) and we can give you options that work for you.

This is possible! Each of you should still purchase a separate ticket if you intend to both participate in all aspects of the Retreat and send a note to [email protected] just noting that you would prefer one larger bed.

One of our goals at Inner Dimension is to expand the scope of offerings to better serve our community online and increasingly in-person as well. So look forward to some exciting announcements to come on future in-person retreats in addition to an annual summit! And of course, we recommend that you also practice with us online through your Inner Dimension subscription and Academy course registrations as well.
