I recently returned from a seven day retreat in Yelapa and it was exactly what I needed! Pura Vida, the retreat center in Yelapa, is tranquil, beautiful and inspiring; gorgeous, thatched palapas, perched in the jungle, over looking the azure sea provide comfortable open air sleeping and relaxing. I adored the semi open private showers! Each palapa is beautifully decorated and there is an outdoor meditation area and wonderful common area. Tropical birds chat and frolick all around! . But, what made this place so special for me were the people! Anjay has so much to offer seekers and provides wonderful guidance and support. Imagine waking up to the sounds of the waves and birds and mediatating with gentle, lovely, like minded people who genuinely support each other with love. I was a bit hesitant that at 60 I might be one of the oldest and may not have been able to keep up but was delighted that there were people both older than me and younger. We all became very close in such a short amount of time and really enjoyed each other! My group also had the pleasure of learning from Dr. Ann West, an extremely experienced practitioner: Reiki, Holotrophic Breath Work, and pure oxygen therapy, in addition to many other modalities. Anjay and Ann were completely devoted to each of us: our experience and personal growth, as well as creating wonderful adventures and fun, working nonstop and late into the night to make our retreat as perfect as humanly possible for each of us. We snorkeled, hiked to wild, jungle waterfalls and took magnificent cold plunges, to name just a few adventures. I left with a very grateful heart and became in touch with my essence again, which is what I so desperately needed. I can not wait to return! I also love that Anjay purposely keeps his retreats small, so that everyone can intimately connect. Do this for yourself; you will not be disappointed! Xo
