Andrea is the coolest chick you know!  She is a native Spanish speaker who was born in Bogota, Colombia where she was taught to sing and dance at a young age.  She moved to Costa Rica in her teens and became famous on the hit show Buba, a Costa Rican sensation of a talent search which was similar to, but predated, American Idol.   All this while obtaining her bachelor’s degree in Liberal Arts and Graphics Design from the Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica.  Andrea has taught Spanish for 2 years and often cries when her students leave.  She's a committed teacher that everyone misses long after they have left La Escuela Del Sol.

Rebeca Quesada will blow your mind!  She too is a native Spanish speaker who was born in Costa Rica and has seen the world many times over.  When she was a teen, her mother was chosen as Costa Rican Foreign Minister to Bolivia under the assignment of Oscar Arias (who would become the current President of Costa Rica) and was later sent to Portugal.  Having lived and studied in Europe for several years, she can now speak Portuguese, English, Italian and basic French as well as her native Spanish.  Years later, she moved to Montezuma and opened the first tourism company in town.  Her business, world and academic experience along with 2 years of Spanish teaching experience make her uniquely qualified to run our school as administrator as well as to teach Spanish when she is needed. 

Spanish Teacher

Fede teaches Spanish while he's awake!  He too hails from Buenos Aires, Argentina and has traveled almost the whole of North, Central and South America.  He finished college at the Universidad de Buenos Aires in 2005 and has been teaching Spanish for us since arriving in Costa Rica one year ago.  Fede is a huge soccer fan (what Latin American isn't?), a purple belt in karate (not sure if that's much of an accomplishment...) and makes bracelets in his spare time.  But more than anything, Fede loves to teach you to speak Spanish! 

 

Dagmar Spremberg
Yoga Instructor
Dagmar will do your body good! After years in the European music business, she moved from Germany to Los Angeles in 1996 and began practicing and studying yoga.  After moving to New York, she intensified her studies and trained with certified Anusara teacher Elena Brower at Virayoga.  In 2001, she moved to Montezuma to begin teaching yoga.  In addition to teaching Vinyasa flow, recently completed an Anusara Teacher Training with Lois Nesbitt from NY.  She is a 500 hour certified E-RYT with the Yoga Alliance and an Anusara inspired teacher.  Dagmar believes that yoga is more than just bringing the foot behind the head.  It is about reconnecting and feeling good about ourselves.  It allows us to remember our own strength and beauty and re-align ourselves with something that is bigger than us.  She says, “Through yoga we can get out of the mind and into the body and heart.  Our goal is to create balance and remove any blockages that keep us from living with joy.  When we are living our truth and free from fear, we will inspire others to do the same.”  As a graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in NYC, she compliments yoga with her work as a certified Holistic Health Counselor.  Dagmar has been known to give classes in English and in German.  

  

Kristin is killer!  Her love for physical fitness started at a young age and has blossomed into a passion.  She was originally introduced to yoga as a relaxing, non-impact form of exercise.  She soon realized the truly transformative power of the practice and its logical connection to her work in the sustainability movement.  She has been teaching to all ages and skill levels since gaining certification in Costa Rica over 3 years ago.  Kristen's teaching style is based on the principles of "flow"; connecting breath to movement.  Her classes will build strength and flexibility, and invite students to access the spaciousness we all have available to us.
