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. October falls outside Costa Rica's peak yoga season, which runs December, January, February. That said, retreats run year-round and the off-season offers genuine advantages: lower prices, smaller groups, and a quieter environment that some practitioners actively prefer. The practice itself is unchanged.
