Yes indeed.  This retreat is great for both singles and couples.  Our practices create a safe space for healthy embodiment and connection. We offer a balanced mix of solo and connected practices. During the connected movement and massage practices, we encourage working with different bodies as we develop deeper trust with each other.  We encourage strong boundaries and you always have the choice to participate at your level of comfort.  

We recommend bringing the following:

• Natural sunscreen or sun protection
• Natural bug repellent for the evenings
• Refillable water bottle
• Hiking shoes or sandals
• Flip flops and swimwear of course
• Small flashlight or headlamp with extra batteries or smartphone 🙂
• You can bring your own Yoga Mat if you like, but we do provide high-quality mats, straps, blocks, and other props.
• Personal pharmaceuticals: Any allergy or anti-itch cream if you wish and any prescription medication that you need
• Health care items and/or feminine products
• Earplugs (in case you have trouble adjusting to the sounds of the waves and monkeys)
• Eyemask (if you are in a shared room)
• Passport (you need a valid passport for at least 6 months before the expiration date to enter Nicaragua. No special visa is required.)
• Journal

With the cost of the retreat, we include a temescal ceremony, jungle waterfall hike, and, if we're lucky, release baby sea turtles.  Other optional excursions such as surfing, paddleboarding, can be found here .

Please note that because our retreats are limited to a small number of attendees, to allow for a more personable experience, our cancellation policy is in place to help guests and us alike work together sharing expenses that may arise from unexpected cancellations.

All deposits & payments are NON-REFUNDABLE. This includes acts of God, Covid-19, or Mother Nature. Purchase of travel insurance is highly recommended to cover unexpected circumstances that could arise. 

In the rare case that you cannot attend, your retreat deposits could be transferred or used as credit for a future retreat with us only if you give us 30 days notice before the retreat starts.  

No one books a retreat with the intention of cancelling it, but unexpected events do occur.  Exceptions cannot be made for any reason, including weather, injury/illness, or personal emergencies. Trip insurance should also be purchased to cover medical expenses in the event you have an accident while on the retreat. Most travel insurance must be purchased within 14 days of making your reservation. We reserve the right to cancel or postpone retreats with inadequate participant interest, in which case all money paid will be refunded or transferred to a future date. Notification of cancellation for this reason will occur at least 1 month prior to the retreat start date. CY Retreats cannot be held responsible for any personal expenses, such as airline tickets due to changes in itineraries or retreat cancellations.

COVID TRAVEL UPDATE

Please note that if the retreat has to be postponed based on border closures, then a credit for a guests’ hold deposit will be issued to be used for the postponement date. If the retreat happens as scheduled, but a guest decides not to attend based on any other reason than a country's border closure, then the regular cancellation policy (stated above) will be maintained.
