Located on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica on the Nicoya
Peninsula in the Province of Guanacaste, Nosara is surrounded by lush tropical
rain forest, mountains, waterfalls, and rivers. Its beaches have been designated
a wildlife refuge and are protected from development or deforestation by Costa
Rica law.
You will need to arrange your own flights into Nosara from
San Jose. The local airlines are
www.flysansa.com and
www.natureair.com. Please
arrange your flights to arrive Nosara by the afternoon March 16th. Please note
that Nature Air operates from the domestic Tobias Bolanos Airport (also known as
Pavas Airport), which is a 30 min drive from the international airport in San
Jose.
The Ayurveda Dialogues with James Bailey
The Ayurveda Dialogues are designed to help students and teachers of Yoga to
embody the essential teachings of Ayurveda at a more intimate level. Once
integrated into one's lifestyle, Ayurveda inspires a natural sense of self, and
provides important yogic tools on the path, shedding light on your life and your
practice. The Dialogues are part lecture, part question and answer, where the
lines between Yoga and Ayurveda dissolve and self-realization and self-healing
become one and the same.
Simple yet effective Ayurvedic health practices for
cultivating "rasa" (the "juice of life") such as abhyanga (warm oil
self-massage) and rasayanas (rejuvenating tonic teas) will be integrated so that
participants leave home with skills to enhance the flow of rasa in their lives. |
