THE RETREAT
The Jungle Dreams Retreat 2023 will take place in the tropical jungle of Costa Rica's southern Caribbean coast and will be hosted by Gabrielle Roberts.
This retreat is an ideal place to disconnect from daily responsibilities and focus on personal wellness. There will be a day to completely unplug and disconnect from all things, really focusing on you.
There is no yoga experience needed to attend. Over these 5 days we will explore various styles of practice.
