Pilates in Pavones

Pilates classes in the Pavones area- to help keep us supple, strong and pain-free.

Pilates Pavones Costa Rica

Active people need active body therapy- Pilates by Oriana is just that.

Pilates prevents injury, heals and mobilizes the body- aids in recovery from surfing, playing, sporting and adds life to the body so we can do it all over again!

At The Cacao Pod at Finca Cacao, we host Pilates classes twice per week. Mondays at 9am and Thursdays at 10am.

Oriana is an experienced Pilates instructor with many years of practice, teaching and embodying the work. Her classes are soul-filling, body-healing and community-building.

Bodywork- Massage by Corynne

With over 2 decades of experience - a bodywork session with Corynne is something not to be missed!

Some call it ‘bloodless surgery’, others say it’s a life-changing experience and they wish they did it sooner!

Whatever it is, is a unique experience, and each person will most certainly receive a journey of self-education about their own body.

Corynne blends tools and techniques earned over the past 24 years, into a 90- or 120- minute session of working with your body, as unique as it is to you.

This is not a lay there, relax and have oil rubbed on you kind of session- and if that is what you are after, feel free to ask for recommendations of wonderful, relaxing massage therapists in the area.

We work together, you are encouraged to bring in movement through held trigger points, changing the brain’s mind about the pain- as the wonderful and talented Erik Dalton (RIP) taught us.

  • Myoskeletal Alignment technique

  • Myofascial Release

  • Modern Cupping Therapy

  • Craniosacral therapy

  • Visceral Manipulation Technique

  • Remedial/ Sports massage

are just some of the techniques and therapies we will draw upon.

Click the link below for more info, my protocol and policy, and to see if a session with me is a good choice for you, on your next visit to the Pavones area of Costa Rica.

It isn’t for everyone- but you will know who you are and if it is right for you!
