Repose and Restore

The Taijiquan (Tai Chi), Qigong, and Yoga sessions offered are suitable for beginners and those more experienced. Our goal at SOW Health is to help you "Repose & Restore" from the hustle and bustle of your daily routine through these arts while immersed in magical Costa Rica which is renown for its restive pace of living, "La Pura Vida!" We will offer daily sunrise and evening sitting, standing, breathing, and moving meditations. Examples of what you will experience are: the basics of Anusara Yoga, the 8 Pieces of Brocade, the Yang Family Style Classical Long Form Taijiquan (Tai Chi) Form, the Inner Smile, and the Six Healing Sounds. You will also have the option on two separate occasions during your stay to experience the deep relaxation and other benefits of Auricular (ear) Acupuncture in group sessions.

The specifics of these daily offerings will be provided in a welcome package. Additionally, there will be one day set aside for individual excursions to sites like Rincon de la Viejo Active Volcano, or the Guanacaste Waterfall & Hot Springs, or other options that can be curated by our partner, David's Cruise Vacations LLC. These activities incur an additional cost (typically $180.00 - $200.00 per person).
