RETREAT ACTIVITIES - a typical day...

MORNING MEDITATION

Santosa Retreat starts the day with the ringing of a bell to call all who choose to the main palapa. Purified and warmed water infused with fresh lemon and lime is provided 1/2 hour before meditation for assisting in the Ph balancing of the body. We then lead a mind clearing meditation session overlooking the Blue Pacific. You will be shown how to reduce stress, detox your mind, restore your inner harmony through a series of simple meditations.

JOURNALING

BREAKFAST

Our chef prepares your breakfast using fresh local ingredients. Freshly prepared healthy drinks available throughout the day.

PILATES

A total mind-body workout, Pilates gets your mind in tune with your body. By emphasizing proper breathing, correct spinal and pelvic alignment, and complete concentration on smooth, flowing movement, you become acutely aware of how your body feels, where it is in space, and how to control its movement. Proper breathing is essential, and helps you execute movements with maximum power and efficiency. Last but not least, learning to breathe properly can reduce stress.

LUNCH

A well balanced and healthy lunch is prepared fresh every day.

MASSAGE (amount depending on Retreat - additional on request)

BEAUTY TREATMENT (amount depending on Retreat - additional on request)

YOGA @ 5pm

Yoga is ideally suited to prevent physical and mental illness and to protect the body in general... By it's very nature it is inextricably associated with universal laws: for respect for life, truth, and patience are all indispensable factors in the drawing of a quiet breath, in calmness of mind and firmness of will.

You will learn to control your breathing in a relaxed and modulated way in order to provide focus in the different postures. Learning to do this properly is the gateway to many of the mental and spiritual benefits of yoga.

DINNER

Enjoy the finest dining by candlelight and star light.

A fire is lit oceanside each evening for any who choose to relax on the beach and star gaze.

A drum circle will be organized for your last evening of the retreat.
