Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Eat.Yoga.Drink (EYD) is an innovative concept established by yogi Erin Sonn which offers traditional vinyasa flow yoga in nontraditional spaces. Instead of a practicing in a typical yoga studio, EYD holds classes in a wide range of spaces - from brew pubs and vineyards to public parks and baseball fields. Erin's goal is to make the experience accessible and fun for everybody. But EYD is more than just yoga, it is also a way to engage with the community, meet new friends, experience different venues and to clear your mind. 

Thanksgiving 2018 Eat.Yoga.Drink will take the fun on the road and travel to Guanacaste, Costa Rica for a completely untraditional spin on the traditional holiday. This immersive one week program will introduce you to the culture, activities and people in and around Tamarindo on the stunning pacific coast.
