WE VISITED THE YOGA EXPO IN FLORIDA
On April 14th, we had the opportunity to participate in a very special event as part of a bigger
global yoga community. The Yoga Expo in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is an annual event where
communities, local and abroad, join to promote their classes, products, philosophies, and to share
well-being in general. A healing stage, juices and tea, meditation rooms, among other booths
created a healthy and euphoric atmosphere. We felt very lucky to be part of the mission of
informing and empowering communities to have a healthier, more conscious lifestyle that benefit
both mind and body. We took samples of our honey and told many other yogis about the magic of
practicing yoga and meditation in the mountains of beautiful Costa Rica.

LET’S CELEBRATE AND CARE FOR OUR PLANET
April the 22nd is the day dedicated to our planet: Earth Day. Since 1970, this has been a day for
contemplation, creation, consciousness, appreciation, education, gratitude, among many other
practices. Macaw Lodge, whose origins are founded in impulsing ecotourism, research and
conservation of nature in Costa Rica, takes this day and month to invite our guests and readers to
meditate on this. In a world that is changing quickly, it is more and more urgent that education is
raised about small habits. Everyone can participate on a daily basis that can have a positive
impact in the long run. Whether it is the reduction of plastic straws or minimal plastic use, walking
instead of driving, planting a tree, cleaning a beach, using less artificial lights, there are plenty of
ways to contribute. Here are a few ideas for you to be part of the caring of our planet:
