Holy Trinity: Yoga, Acupuncture, and Surfing in Costa Rica

www.gothamwellness.com

Ariane Hundt, ass-kicking founder of Brooklyn Bridge Bootcamp, told us about Stefanie DiLibero. "Excellent acupuncturist," she emailed. We got in touch. Stefanie's founded Gotham Wellness, based on 26th Street in Chelsea, and specializes in a zeitgesty combination of acupuncture and yoga. We don't have first hand knowledge, but we like the bio: DiLibero, is certified in both acupuncture and yoga, with over 500 hours, and has worked, taught, volunteered and lived in Asia, Africa, Central America and the South Pacific. The woman's got to have some chutzpah. So here's today's tip, and perhaps your first calendar item for spring: DiLibero is leading a week of yoga, surfing and relaxing in Nosara, Costa Rica in May. For the surfing part, she's teaming up with the coaches of the National British Surf Team. Brit surfers? Whatever, it's an island. And the retreat is cheap! Pencil it in.

• Where: Nosara, Costa Rica
• When: May 1-8, 2010
• What: Five surf lessons, five yoga classes, and seven nights of beachfront accomodations. Breakfast included.
