“The Big Chill” with Ruby Zulkowski

Playa Grande, Costa Rica

March 11-18, 2023

Have the past few years drained you mentally, energetically, emotionally or spiritually? Have you felt the incredible urge to tune out from the entire world and get yourself centered? Are you ready to revitalize your life force energy?

Join Ruby Zulkowski, DE based Yoga Teacher & Studio Owner 3/11-3/18 2023 in Costa Rica, for The Big Chill, a yoga and meditation retreat to revitalize your life force energy!

Enjoy 7 luxury nights at Rip Jack Inn, a 21-room boutique hotel in Playa Grande, Costa Rica that includes: 2 swimming pools, 2 yoga studios and a large tree top restaurant. Rip Jack is THE place to stay in Costa Rica. It is a secluded resort loved by the locals that is only a few minutes’ walk to the beach. The yoga spaces at Rip Jack Inn are sanctuaries for rest, relaxation and revitalizing your life force energy. The lower yoga space is made of beautiful teak wood, enclosed by tall glass windows and covered by a majestic palapa roof. The upper yoga space overlooks the jungle; its clean, quiet and offers some relief from the heat of the day.

Imagine waking up every day to sounds of nature and the ocean, drinking delicious drinks, eating spectacular food, practicing yoga in a bamboo garden surrounded by the jungle, connecting with likeminded people/your family, ending each day on the roof top overlooking the ocean, relaxing as much as possible, and most importantly returning home feeling recharged, recentered and revitalized!!

Meet Your Retreat Leader

Ruby Zulkowski is a Mom, Yoga Studio Owner, Yoga Teacher and Reiki Healer based in Dover, Delaware. Her Yoga journey began in 2014 when she attended a local yoga class. She did not fall in love with the practice right away but she felt connected to the practice in an innate way. It wasn’t until Ruby began practicing with Alexis Gatti that she truly learned the power of yoga and how it can transform your life. Ruby spent 2 years of her early yoga practice learning and exploring the foundations of yoga. She has made it her mission to empower students at every level: physically, mentally and spiritually, like Alexis empowered her.

Ruby received her 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training certificate in 2016 through GoYoga, her Reiki certifications in 2017/2019 and her Buti Yoga Cert in 2020. She is currently enrolled and participating in her 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training through YogaMu and is on track to be completed by the end of 2022. Her certifications are not nearly as important as the passion she brings to her teaching.

Ruby has been teaching yoga classes since 2016. From 2016-2018 she taught at a few different studios and gyms in her local area. Every experience was wonderful but she knew there was no longevity in working at 2/3 different studios for $20-$30/ class. After being let go from her ‘big girl job’, Ruby decided to go all in on her yoga teaching career!

In December 2018, with the help of her mom and boyfriend, Ruby Zulkowski opened Shakti Yoga, a welcoming and empowering yoga studio that specializes in teaching beginner yoga students how to build a strong foundation for their yoga practice. Shakti Yoga has grown to be a empowering space for many people in the Dover community. Ruby has made it her life’s work to share the practice of yoga with any student who fully shows up.
