great way to find peace and focus on the go . Stay Hydrated : Travel can be dehydrating , especially when spending long hours in aeroplanes or air-conditioned conference rooms . Prioritising hydration by drinking plenty of water and herbal teas helps to support overall health and vitality , keeping fatigue at bay and promoting optimal functioning . Cultivate Self-Compassion : Finally , it ’ s essential to extend kindness and compassion to oneself .

May . Later this year , the XTERRA Costa Rica competition comes to town in August for a weekend of races and events . It will be the first time Las Catalinas has hosted the XTERRA Costa Rica .
A typical retreat programme at Las Catalinas includes lecture topics , which can cover mind-body connection , nutrition , tools for managing stress and human performance . That is in addition to outdoor activities such as paddle boarding , surfing and hiking .
“ The accessibility to various experiences , services , and amenities makes it an excellent destination to incorporate wellness into corporate events ,” says Gabriela Esquivel , developer of well-living at Las Catalinas . “ We have seen corporate groups hitting the ocean for a slow kayak ride or taking a short walk in the trails to brainstorm specific meeting topics . It helps them feel more refreshed and supports creativity with the change of scenery and connection to nature .
“ A good approach is to include morning activities that require a moderate level of physical activity . This will help participants start the day with a clearer mind and a boost of energy . Activities could include hikes on our close to 50km of natural trails , SUP or kayaking , mountain biking , yoga , or fitness classes . Additionally , incorporating ice baths can enhance alertness and mental clarity .”
The exercise can be followed by a nourishing breakfast that supports concentration levels throughout the day , including good sources of protein , fruits , vegetables , healthy fats , and complex carbohydrates .
Later in the day , to break up any long meeting hours , group meditations , sound healings , or breathwork sessions can be included . n
