I consider myself a yoga beginner (have done it many times over the years but not regularly) and I thought the classes were good for many experience levels. They supplied mats and blocks which was very convenient.

I can't help but think ALOHA YOGA is the holy grail of Yoga studios!!…read more This is the place I close my eyes and picture myself in when I do Yoga in NYC. Aloha is an OUTDOOR yoga studio right on the beach!! I practiced every single day on my trip to Rincon underneath a canopy of palm trees with ocean rolling in front of me, the sound of waves rolling in, and the ocean mist. It is a relaxing delight to each of the five senses. The instructors offer several open level classes each day that are good for the first time beginner or the super duper advanced yogi. They also offer drumming classes, retreats, and can hook you up with some amazing yogi-inspired surfing lessons (which I did and am now hooked!) Say hi to Maura and Billy for me! (I used the address for Casa Islena here as Aloha Yoga right across the parking lot from them.. )

Please do yourself the favor and make an appointment NOW. She is amazing. Her hands are magic. Some background on me: I have scoliosis with a spinal fusion (top to bottom). I'm very hesitant and cautious on who I allow to massage me. I've gone to places and had terrible experiences, I've had some satisfactory experiences and a few good ones as well. But Gina is by far my favorite. I don't want anyone else.

Had a great time at the Chica Yoga Surf camp. You must... MUST.... come on this trip with an open…read moremind. It really was more like adult summer camp. We got up, surfed all morning and then in the afternoon and evenings there were plenty of activities planned for us. We had a hula hoop class, fire dancing class, aerial yoga, a yoga hike, and much more. Renee is not your conventional trip/tour leader but that's what makes the trip so great (having gone in with no expectations). No one can plan for what the ocean will be like so if surfing is a part of your retreat, keep this in mind. The surf instructors (we had Ben and Christy) Renee hires are extremely concerned with safety first. At no point did I feel unsafe and I knew that the instructors had their eye on me no matter what. This made the experience even better and I felt that I truly was able to learn how to deal with the ocean. My body and mind was pushed very far but at the end of the day that's what made this such a great trip. I came home feeling so relaxed and refreshed. It also helped that there are limited outlets and you should not be concerned with your phone at any point on this trip. Really, you don't need it! Surfing in the morning, all you needed to bring was yourself. And any down time you have, you want to either nap or hydrate! Rincon is a great cute town and the beach and a few bars are about a 10-15 minute walk from where you'll stay. Can't wait to book my next retreat.

At first I felt bad leaving a negative review, since I'm almost always leaving good reviews and focusing on the positive, but I felt it necessary to share my experience so others would be forewarned. I stayed at Samatahiti 2 years ago for a yoga/foodie retreat. The accommodations are not as explained. A "proper bed" is a cot in a hut. The hut walls have large gaps (6+ inches) around the bottom for anything to walk in and no doors to the huts. They are hot, moldy and humid. I didn't know where to store my clothes to keep them from being wet or in the tight walk ways between the cots. The space is cramped for 3 people to share. They was no glam in what she calls glamping. I have done tent camping with my family and my tents are nicer than these huts. The photos you see online are a not a true representation on what her backyard (that is where you are staying) really looks like. Renee didn't provide anything as far as coffee or even a continental breakfast. You have to walk to a shop about 3/4 mile away to get something to eat. Its not like you could keep food in your hut. Our planned activities were "flexible" as to when they would occur. It really depended on what craziness was going on in her life. Aka, did she have last minute plans with her boyfriend or a new date. I get it, she is much more of a free spirit than I am, but I expect a certain level of professionalism when I am paying for a retreat. There were a few positives: the outdoor showers were nice, Renee is good at yoga alignment and teaching yoga, plus I made a couple of friends that I have remained in touch with. We still message each other on FB occasionally, especially when we get an email suggesting we do another yoga retreat at Samatahiti. They are in agreement with me, none of us would ever go back.
