I love discovering new things around town, and also enjoy finding things that are different from back home. Here are a few of the things I’m lovin’ lately. 1.

When I came to Tamarindo I was disappointed to find that there were not any beach yoga classes. I love my heated indoor studio back in the States, but here I was hoping to find something more and take advantage of the amazing outdoor space. Uninspired by the thought of practicing indoors I decided to venture to the beach for my first attempt at a solo practice.
