Yoga like a Monkey. Yay!

It’s not too soon to plan for Sofi and mine’s annual week long yoga retreat in the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica. Monkeys, sunshine, amazing food, surfing, outdoor yoga, the sound of the ocean. There is so much to enjoy. The Osa Peninsula is the least developed part of Costa Rica and the most northern tip of the Amazon jungle. The diversity in wildlife is unparalleled anywhere else in the world. It reminds me of what the earth must have been like before us humans placed our hands all over it. The yoga retreat offers lodging, all three meals, and daily morning and afternoon yoga and meditation. Look for more details soon and click here to see the spectacular retreat center at which we stay.

Look for the fall schedule out soon….

In the meantime plan to dive in this fall with Laughing River’s monthly mini-retreat series. Each month, one of our outstanding instructors will offer an in-depth 3 hour practice on a different topic.

The first mini-retreat will be yin/yang yoga and meditation with Emily Sunday October 24 9 am-12 pm.

Thank you to everyone who came to yogasurf this past weekend.

Amazing energy balls

Here is a recipe for a great snack that travels well. I serve these on all my yogasurf retreats and as long as they don’t get soaked in rain water, people love them. They actually taste even better when you accidentally spill cold brew coffee on them.

Energy Balls

You will need:

1/3 c sesame seeds

1/3 c honey

½ c plus 2 tbsp raw sunflower seeds or walnuts etc.

1 tbsp tahini (sesame butter)

1 tbsp of almond butter

1/8 salt

½ c unsweetened shredded coconut, plus an additional ¼ c for garnish

1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

¼ tsp ground cardamom

1/4 cup chocolate chips

Grind the raw sunflower seeds, flax and sesame seeds into a rough powder in a blender/food processor. Combine all ingredients into a stiff and slightly crumbly dough. Press into balls and roll in coconut, sesame seeds, or cocoa powder. Place in the freezer or fridge to keep fresh for up to two weeks.
