About this selection

Costa Rica's biodiversity and pura vida culture create a retreat environment that's deeply restorative — yoga in the jungle, surfing at dawn, waterfalls at dusk. Costa Rica has a strong Ashtanga lineage. The Mysore-style morning practice, the self-paced approach, and the direct teacher-student relationship of this tradition suit the retreat culture here particularly well.

Common questions

What is a yoga retreat in Costa Rica like?

Costa Rica's biodiversity and pura vida culture create a retreat environment that's deeply restorative — yoga in the jungle, surfing at dawn, waterfalls at dusk. Retreats typically run 5–14 days, with daily practice sessions morning and evening, meals included, and accommodation on-site. The experience in Costa Rica is shaped by the local culture, climate, and teacher community — making it meaningfully different from retreats at home.

What makes Costa Rica good for Ashtanga retreats?

Structured six-series Mysore-style practice from Pattabhi Jois. Costa Rica's retreat infrastructure supports this style particularly well — experienced teachers, appropriate facilities, and the right environment for the depth of practice Ashtanga requires.
