FAQs
-
Yeah! All yoga classes and workshops are optional. Your friend/partner is more than welcome to join us and make their time their own with many optional excursions or simply relaxing on the beach or by the pool.
-
Once we confirm your registration, let us know which excursions you’d like to do and we’ll set it up. You can also book excursions once we arrive at RipJack.
-
Please book your flights into and out of Liberia, Costa Rica. (LIR)
-
RipJack has some yoga mats available to borrow at no additional cost. We suggest bringing your own if you have room in your luggage.
-
Yes. We have a space for any food allergies/sensitivities to be listed in the retreat application.

If you’re looking to share a package option with someone and meet a cool new person, select the “double occupancy - open to an assigned roommate” option on your intake form.
We will email you and get your roommate preferences (female/male/non-binary). We will do our best to partner you with someone, but cannot guarantee a roommate will be available. In this case, you will need to pay the single occupancy option for your selected package.
