Not all retreat leaders/yoga teachers you can connect with, I have struggled finding one I like on and off the mat. Crystal and Leoni are genuinely good people and you can feel it how they interact with you one on one and in a group. The atmosphere is of intention and presence led with compassion. love how liberated and energized I feel when I am with them and how open we all can be. I have had so much growth in my practice and awareness of myself. Always learning more each time together:)
Setting intentions at the start of each class truly sets the tone for the entire session. I’ve found a renewed sense of purpose in my practice and a heightened level of mindfulness that I haven’t experienced elsewhere. Crystal’s hands-on adjustments were incredible, helping me connect deeper with each pose. Every session feels like a mini-retreat with something new sprinkled in
I’m not exactly your typical “yoga retreat” guy. I’m not super into yoga and definitely not vegan or very much into alternative wellness. That being said, I had an absolutely incredible experience with MyThriveTribe at the Imiloa Institute in Costa Rica. First of so the Leoni and Crystal did an incredible job of offering various styles and intensities of yoga throughout the week. You can do all of it or very little, if you prefer. I did almost all of it and really enjoyed it all. The food was actually very good! I was fairly shocked at how often I questioned if it was actually vegan, lol. The setting was absolutely incredible too. So beautiful and peaceful. We saw all kinds of wildlife and beautiful native flora. Finally the staff was unfailingly polite and friendly. They always accommodated with a smile and helping hand whenever asked. I cannot recommend this retreat highly enough. This was the first trip I’ve taken where I wasn’t ready to come home!!
I almost feel like words cannot describe this yoga retreat! Everything exceeded any expectation I had going in: the resort setting and accommodations (loved my dome), the people – staff (out of this world and so accommodating), leaders (caring, loving and inclusive), and the other participants (fun and friendly), the food, so fresh and flavorful, and drink … yummy smoothies and awesome ginger and turmeric shots, the experiences – sound bath, ice bath, waterfall/blue clay, beach party, yoga classes, going to town. It checked all the boxes and many I didn’t even know existed!! I left feeling sad to go but extremely happy that I chose to embark on what turned out to be a remarkable , rejuvenating, spectacular journey!
My experience is Costa Rica with Thrive Tribe was something I will never forget. Spending time just being and connecting with other open minded people, focusing on my physical and mental wellness impacted me in ways I could not have predicted. even though I had a very happy life before the trip, my outlook and approach to every day is different in a good way. Thank you to Crystal and Leoni for being amazing hosts and providing this time for me to become even closer to one of my best friends, closer to myself and form new wonderful relationships! Oh and the institute, food, accomodations and atmosphere exceed my expectations as well!
