The Internet is abuzz about the new holistic drop-in yoga and wellness center in Uvita, Crouching Frog. It is the brainchild of Ellie and Jean-Pierre Fortier, a young couple from Austin, Texas. Nearing their first year of living in Costa Rica’s Southern Zone, the Fortiers are eager to make their mark.
“We were meeting all these wonderfully talented healers who told us they had nowhere to practice. We felt that had to change,” Ellie remembers.
At Crouching Frog, instructors and care providers of all kinds will find everything they need, in order to bring their craft to the client with professionalism and style. They have air conditioned or shaded outdoor spaces, available for
rent, by-the-session.
The Raw Café at Crouching Frog is an ideal teaching kitchen. It is breezy and inviting, with lots of room to spread out. It is fully equipped and has a large wraparound countertop that seats up to 14 comfortably. Sahasrara Pool is lined with palms and shaded by a living structure of flowers. It is ideal for water yoga, swimming lessons, and weightless meditation.
Crouching Frog is located just steps from the Whale’s Tail, and is easy to get to. Ellie is available for tours, by appointment. Opening February 2016.
