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,

Love Your Body 2011

Fall in Love With Your Body This Summer

Sister adventure companies in Costa Rica, Del Mar Surf Camp and Del Mar Extreme are coming together for the first time to put on an annual yoga, adventure and fitness retreat called, Love Your Body 2011 from July 2 to July 9. Why? Because of just that. They want you to fall in love with your body again after the long year of take out food, neglected work outs and sometimes even forgetting to breathe, in your daily abundance of responsibilities.

Yoga, Fitness & Adventure Retreat

As a hybrid retreat between the two companies, you can expect a nourishing vacation featuring iconic elements from each – including of course your surf lesson from Del Mar Surf Camp as well as stand up paddling, biking, fitness classes from Del Mar Extreme. Not to mention the uniting quality of both companies that attest to the benefits of yoga when it comes to overall athletic conditioning and flexibility. As a result? Not one, but TWO yoga classes each day.

Organic Vegan Detox & Green Juices

What’s more, is that while the physical conditioning can prove to be quite relentless for those of you who haven’t kept a physical regiment regularly, they have provided just as equal balance of healthy foods that you will be consuming that week. Including organic vegan meals (for those of you that are regular meat eaters – consider this your “vegan detox”) and daily green juices and snacks to supplement your high energy workouts and adventures throughout the day.

Yoga for the Mind, Body & Soul

Of course, what might seem to be like a day packaged of laughter, great food and physical stimulation – there is sufficient time to focus on the most important element of self awareness through Yoga & Meditation inspired by various locations including mountain top, beachfront and in the jungle. Provided twice daily, the opportunity to reinstate your commitment to your mind and soul will be one of the greatest aspects of the retreat, void of any interruptions of modern day technology.

More? Enjoy the Video!

There is so much to mention in this retreat its hard to visualize just what an experience it will be. And so, while technology has allowed us to evolve from limited still frames – the opportunity to showcase the elements of the retreat has been seized in order to give you the best preview of what to expect!

Hope to see you there! Any questions?
