February often draws our attention to the heart — but self-love goes far beyond romance or fleeting gestures. It’s about how we care for ourselves, tend to our inner world, and choose ourselves day after day.

In our busy, often chaotic lives, it’s easy to overlook the quiet power of the breath. Yet, the breath is a constant companion, a tool that can ground us, heal us, and connect us to the present moment. The largest breath we take is when we are born, and the longest exhalation we take is when we die.

For over 15 years, Nosara, Costa Rica, has been a healing sanctuary—an oasis for rest, reflection, and radical self-care. In this blog, we explore the power of grief, neuroscience meets mindfulness, limiting beliefs, and more. Plus, a guided Yin Yoga pose and a sneak peek at the next transformational retreat in Nosara—coming soon!
