In 2008, Essence Arenal project began through destiny and universal guidance. Nico ended up in this rainforest paradise, where he immediately knew this was his place on earth to live. It has opened his eyes and he needed that change. He was 80 pounds overweight and had a wide collection of emotional wrecks stored in his soul. In a short time of balancing nutrition, emotions, and bad life habits, through learned techniques, these problems disappeared! Nico has found emotional, physical, and spiritual balance through the creation of this wonderful place. And he wants to share it with you!
Michelle Cordero is from Costa Rica, you can call her Miche and she is a yoga teacher. She has been practicing yoga for 5 years now and she remembers that finding yoga was not easy for her, but when she realized that she had it, she took it and it became her partner, her safe place. For her, yoga is connecting her little self with her highest self and she looks forward to sharing this feeling with you.
