In February 2011 I spent a week in Portasol. I went there as Doris Müller-Weith was holding a yoga-retreat. So, I had the opportunity to enjoy it all; a week of utter relaxation with yoga, good food and good company, all embedded in Portasol`s wilderness and its breathtaking natural surroundings. We would start the days pleasantly at seven with two hours of gentle yoga, qi gong, mediation and singing.
Yoga would usually be followed by a hearty and fresh breakfast prepared for us by the ladies at Portasol`s villa, as were lunches.
Thus fortified, we were ready for further adventures that brought us into Portasols stunning surroundings. Once we hiked up the river to the waterfall, where we swam, and felt the sun`s warmth on our skin and watched the dance of the butterflies and the honeysuckers. It was like being immersed in a magic kingdom. Once we drove down to Matapalo beach, only 3 – 4 km away, and spent the afternoons at the endless and almost deserted beach, watching the waves rolling in and drinking fresh coconut milk.
And then the week was already over and I had to get ready to go on the long journey home. I felt that one week in paradise is definitely not enough. However, I felt both relaxed and invigorated like I hadn`t felt in a long time and ready again to face everyday`s challenges. What is more, I took with me the experience of the meaning of "Pura Vida". Life was good, at the yoga-retreat in Portasol.
