North Fork Yoga Shala Retreats

Here at North Fork Yoga Shala, in Greenport, we are really proud of our expanding offering of several retreats both near and far as well as the variety of workshops and trainings that we hold both with our own instructors and talented guest instructors and facilitators.

Our retreats, currently led pre-dominantly by Claire Copersino, our Founder and Director, span the globe, and range from a few wonderful days within driving or public transport distance to further afield in Mexico, Costa Rica, various locations in Europe, northern Africa and several in the planning stage that will be further afield.  It is often the case that once someone has joined one retreat, they catch the bug, so to speak, and attend another .. and another .. and another.  Don’t say you weren’t warned J

It is truly magical to watch new connections form on our retreats, new yoga-family bonds be created and very much a family vibe set in within the first 24 hours amongst our small, intimate groups wherever we may be calling home on our retreats.  These connections then grow once back home and you now know that person who was once just a face across the studio.   As a result the community and family feel of the studio just continues to deepen and expand and sweeps everyone who walks through our doors up into the glow.

Claire Copersino Yoga Retreats, trainings, and workshops are curated based upon suggestions from you as well as initiatives from our team of instructors and we always welcome your thoughts, ideas and feedback.

The Osa Peninsula

The southern pacific coast of Costa Rica, has long been known as the remote jewel of Costa Rica. The Osa Peninsula, of which half is protected by national park and local and international private reserves, is considered to be one of the most biologically diverse places on the planet.

Thanks to aggressive conservation efforts, the forests of the Osa remain home to endangered species such as Baird’s tapir, the white-lipped peccary, jaguars, crocodiles and the harpy eagle. It boasts the largest population of the endangered scarlet macaws in the entire country, and is the center of the very restricted distribution of the endangered Central American squirrel monkey. This small peninsula is host to almost half of Costa Rica’s 860 species of birds (that is almost 5% of the world’s species!), 140 species of mammals, and 117 species of reptiles and amphibians. Almost 750 species of trees have been catalogued in the area, more trees than in all of the North temperate regions of the world combined.

 

Cabo Matapalo

Cabo Matapalo is the tip of the Osa peninsula where Encanta La Vida is located. Cabo Matapalo is 40 minutes from Puerto Jimenez, at the mouth of the Gulfo Dulce. This area is known for the amazing concentration of wildlife combine with beautiful beaches and coves.

This is an ideal location for those looking to unplug from everyday life, dive deep into the rhythms of the natural world, and have an off-the-grid adventure surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature.

According to National Geographic, The Osa Peninsula is “One of the most biologically diverse places on earth”.Watch an incredible abundance and variety of animals including monkeys, toucans, macaws, cotamundi, aguiti and sloths – often sighted from our cabins. Cabo Matapalo’s secluded beaches and coves offer a unique environment of world class beauty and tranquility to beachcombers and surfers.
