Costa Rica Yoga Spa recommends flying into Liberia (LIR) or Nosara (NOB) airports. Once you have booked your flight\, Costa Rica Yoga Spa can recommend airport shuttles. You will likely be on a flight with another retreat goer so you can shuttle together. Should you miss your shuttle\, transport is easily accessible from the airport exits at all times\, especially during the high tourist season of Jan. Look for the numerous red taxis waiting at baggage claim for tourist transport. \nCRYS recommends CR Terratour (www.terratournosara.com) for shuttle service from Liberia and San Jose Airports for their reliability\, professionalism\, and proven experience. If you are flying into Liberia\, CR Terratour is $50 for the shared shuttle each way and leaves Liberia at 2:00pm. Private shuttles for up to 5 people are $130. CR Terratour also has shuttles returning to the Liberia Airport daily at 7:00-8:00am \nIt is always best to confirm your pick-up/drop-off times with shuttle companies directly as they may vary! \n\n\n    CRYS Arrival & Departure Information\nCheck-in is on Jan 19th between 2pm – 8pm and check out is on Jan 25th at 10am. If you expect to be arriving at the retreat center later than 8pm please contact Costa Rica Yoga Spa for recommended accommodations closer to the airport so that you can arrange transportation the next morning.

Costa Rica Yoga Spa recommends flying into Liberia (LIR) or Nosara (NOB) airports. Once you have booked your flight\, Costa Rica Yoga Spa can recommend airport shuttles. You will likely be on a flight with another retreat goer so you can shuttle together. Should you miss your shuttle\, transport is easily accessible from the airport exits at all times\, especially during the high tourist season of Jan. Look for the numerous red taxis waiting at baggage claim for tourist transport. \nCRYS recommends CR Terratour (www.terratournosara.com) for shuttle service from Liberia and San Jose Airports for their reliability\, professionalism\, and proven experience. If you are flying into Liberia\, CR Terratour is $50 for the shared shuttle each way and leaves Liberia at 2:00pm. Private shuttles for up to 5 people are $130. CR Terratour also has shuttles returning to the Liberia Airport daily at 7:00-8:00am \nIt is always best to confirm your pick-up/drop-off times with shuttle companies directly as they may vary! \n\n\n    CRYS Arrival & Departure Information\nCheck-in is on Jan 20th between 2pm – 8pm and check out is on Jan 26th at 10am. If you expect to be arriving at the retreat center later than 8pm please contact Costa Rica Yoga Spa for recommended accommodations closer to the airport so that you can arrange transportation the next morning. On the last day\, we will have one morning all levels class and breakfast\, then checkout by 10am. \n\n        \n    \n\n    \n    \n\n    \n        \n            \n    \n    \n    \n    \n        \n    \n\n            \n                    \n    \n    \n\n    \n        \n            \n    Ready to Reconnect with Play in Paradise?      Come Join Us in Costa Rica!\n\n\n	    Register Now!     \n    \n    \n    \n    \n        \n    \n\n    \n    \n\n    \n        \n            \n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n    About the Retreat Leaders\n    The retreat is led by Kristin and Nicole; leaders with over 25 combined years of teaching experience and international group travel.
