PURA VIDA

“Pura Vida” (pronounced poo-rah vee-dah) simply translated means “simple life”
or “pure life”, but in Costa Rica it is more than just a saying -- it is a way of life.

Costa Ricans (Ticos) use this term to say hello, to say goodbye, to say
everything’s great, to say everything’s cool. However, it is not the words
that reflect the true meaning of ¡Pura Vida!. Pura Vida is the way Ticos live.
Not surprisingly, Costa Rica has been named one of the happiest countries
in the world, mostly because its inhabitants don’t stress about things the
way most foreigners do. Ticos have a very relaxed, simple way of looking
at life. No worries, no fuss, no stress—pura vida to them means being
thankful for what they have and not dwelling on the negative.

Although many people use the saying ‘pura vida’, until you’ve been to
Costa Rica, you will not truly know what pura vida feels like. It’s an emotion,
it’s an attitude, it’s happiness, and it’s a way of life.  Our goal for this
yoga retreat is to define the true meaning of pura vida.
