THANK YOU

We had wonderful people from New Jersey, Canada, and Chicago attend our Love Your Body Retreat 2011. As one of the Directors of Del Mar Extreme, I can say I was proud to be a part of this. The week was full of challenges and surprises, and we all really connected and got to know each other and spend time together bonding in a way that was special. I am so proud of the strength, grace and courage shown by everyone who attended our retreat, each person was willing to try everything new and different to them, and handled everything that was thrown at them with resilience.

THE WEEK IN ACTION

We went SUP’ing to a beautiful waterfall in Punta Leona, and did a variety of fitness classes, Ashtanga/Vinyasa Yoga, Pilates, Boxing, Capoeira, Butts and Guts, Hiking and Surfing. Most appreciated was just talking to, learning about and getting to know each other, everyone was so diverse in their backgrounds. Special thanks to Veronica and Enrique for hosting everyone at their beautiful Mangarosa, it is a haven away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life as we know it, it is calm and serene there up on the mountain. And more thanks to Cassidy and Paul of Pura Vida Pantry who made us delicious and healthy meals each and every day. Thanks also to the ladies at Heavenly Massage, Karen, Zuleka and Gendry for wonderful massages for everyone. All of Del Mar Extreme and Del Mar Surf Camp staff learned much ourselves from Love Your Body and from everyone who attended, and we hope to apply this learned knowledge to improve future retreats in Costa Rica. So to everyone who attended, thanks so much for being with us in Costa Rica- we so appreciate the time we were able to spend with you, and hope you will want to visit again one day. Safe travel and Godspeed to all – Ann, Jane, Andrea, Sara, Nelu and Ken, it was so good to be with you! You are all so awesome! Pura Vida!

NEXT YEAR

We are in the midst of planning for our Love Your Body – Yoga & Fitness retreat for 2012! The dates have been set from Saturday June 30 to Saturday July 7! So mark your calendars as we will be releasing new details soon!

Pura vida,
