Yoga

Yoga

Nothing says relaxation like yoga – and luckily, Costa Rica is the perfect place for this tranquil practice. Be it on the sandy shores of Santa Teresa or 2,000 feet above sea level on a cool mountaintop in San Pablo de Turrabares, doing yoga is a fantastic way to commune with the natural environment immediately surrounding you.

Find Inner Peace

Group classes are offered all around the country for about $10 per person, or $60 for a private session. One Santa Teresa hotel specializes in yoga retreats and features phenomenal sunset views, luxurious accommodations and three gourmet organic meals per day – a true hassle-free escape from society. Many urban cities like Jaco and Tamarindo offer impressive yoga studios, while others are focused more on multi-day health and wellness getaways. Another teacher training center in Nosara is widely acclaimed for providing potential instructors with an interdisciplinary education and an internationally recognized certificate needed to teach worldwide.

Surf’s Up!

What goes better with yoga than surfing and massage therapy? Del Mar Surf Camp in Jaco and Nosara offer all-inclusive camps focusing on these three activities. Yoga’s stretching and strengthening exercises complement many of the same muscle groups utilized in surfing. Exquisite massages are offered at the end of the day to rejuvenate and prepare your tired body to do it all over again tomorrow. Wash, rinse and repeat this for a week and you’ll be in the best shape of your life.

So Many Styles

Preferred styles of yoga vary from place to place – and sometimes even from teacher to teacher – but there is such a great variety of studios in Costa Rica that there is truly something here for everyone. From gentle Hatha and Kundalini types to Ashtanga Yoga, Baron Baptiste Power and Bikram Hot Yoga, you’ll never grow tired of sampling the diverse range of yoga classes that are available all over the country.
