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. Yin yoga in Costa Rica benefits from the culture of slowness that this region embodies. Long-hold passive poses, often held for 3–5 minutes, are complemented by the unhurried pace of life — making this one of the world's best places to deepen a yin practice. December is one of Costa Rica's best months for retreat — Central America's climate is at its most conducive to outdoor practice, the crowds are manageable, and teachers report that groups arriving in December tend to go deeper than at other times of year. It's a popular booking month, so plan ahead.
