"
Love is spoken here
.
Joy is chosen
here. Grace is given here."
Dear Friends and Family,
Memorial Day in the USA marked the beginning of summer. We have now come to the midpoint of the year, the hottest time of the year, the longest days of the year, the peak of the summer. It's a joyous occasion for all because during these transitional times of year, is the ideal time to rest, cleanse, and reflect on where we are and where we see ourselves headed.
However, with our relaxed new frame of mind, we often find ourselves slipping from our yoga routine. Yup, the routine slips right out the window. Summer gives us a chance to renew and chill, though, when I think of renewing and chilling, I ultimately think of
Present Moment Retreat. That's why immersing yourself in something you love, like yoga or surf with us, will allow you to come into your full bloom like a stunning sunflower. Harness the fire and heat of summer to express yourself to the fullest.
To help you to become the best version of yourself, we are honored to offer an unmissable promotion: until the 10th of October enjoy 30% off all our
packages to come join us for a week or two in you favorite oasis Troncones. Here during the rainy season, warm and humid weather is perfect for yoga! And the waves are at their best. The sun is still present every day to give you an extra bit of Vitamin D! Grab your favorite sweat-proof sunblock and get your flow on. Be kind to your body, as you may take some time off this summer, but don't lose yoga or surf altogether.
So, we hope to see you soon here in Paradise to share with us your goals and passions for the second half of the year, as well as your recommendations for how we can make your experience with Present Moment Retreat richer and more enjoyable. Contact me at
[email protected] or leave a comment on our social media (either
Facebook,
Twitter,
Instagram or
Google+). We always LOVE hearing from you.
Finally, thank you so much for your time and energy in reading this. I would welcome any feedback, and am here to answer any questions you may have. I also invite you
to share this newsletter with anyone you know that may be interested in any of the topics, its great information to get out there!
Most importantly - remember that you are the one you have been waiting for, so enjoy your being, enjoy where you are, and smile because you are exactly where and what you are supposed to be.
Thank you for helping to build the bridge with Present Moment.
Namaste-

No matter who you are, everybody needs a bit of relaxation from time to time. Let your downward facing dog out and your body getting some love... Maya can surely help! Let us introduce our brand new yoga teacher and massage therapist.
If Maya were to be described in one word, it would be passion. She has an effervescent zest for life, exploring, and sharing that transmutes fluidly into her teaching both on and off the mat and in the water as well. She believes strongly in a life of living art; guiding others to effortlessly weave their dreams and unique gifts into the most intricate tapestry of authenticity and as a collective gift to the world.
Maya is a lover of movement- she finds freedom through yoga, dancing, surfing, hands on healing, traveling, and spending time in the sea. She has made this love her offering on a global scale.
Having both studied and taught all over the world, Maya's teaching style is unique fusion embodying her greatest inspirations from each place and person along her journey. For the past four years Maya has been based in Indonesia, sharing her teachings and healing practices while hosting transformational vision quest surf/ yoga retreats as well as women's activation retreats on the island of Ibiza. She has also taught in India, Peru, South Africa, Australia, the U.S, Portugal, and Costa Rica. She owns her own business called "Sundah" in Costa Rica where she teaches yoga, SUP yoga, paddle board, and surfing as well as offering massages.
She is inspired by sustainability and creating a future with a minimal footprint. Maya's dream is to build her own fully sustainable retreat centre in Costa Rica for people to come and align with their deepest selves while connecting to nature and community. Maya met CJ, the co-founder of Present Moment in 2016 while running a yoga retreat in Bali and was so excited to realize how similar Present Moment felt to her own dream. So a year later, she is thrilled to be joining the team at Present Moment and learning and sharing alongside other motivated healers and yogis.
Find Maya for a spiritually enlivened, playful and creative yoga class in the studio or on the stand up paddle board. Otherwise, take a deep breathe and let it all go as she carries you into a state of deep relaxation in one of her yin yoga classes or perhaps a choice of Thai or Balinese massage.

Our Latest Lovely Review on
|
Loved this place. The location is gorgeous and the yoga was wonderful. I needed a peaceful getaway and this more than fit the bill. I enjoyed exploring the little "town" in which Present Moment is nestled. The little cabanas/huts were decorated beautifully. I stayed in the one called Compassion, which was simply lovely. Beware ~~~ the mango smoothies are delightfully addicting. ... I would love to return here one of these days.
