So you've decided on rainforested central America for your next vacation away.
Great choice, the pura vida lifestyle gives Costa Rica an atmosphere conducive to some
serious mat holiday time.
Costa Rica is wild and wondrous. A country of awesome natural biodiversity.
Think mountains, rainforest and volcanoes, and all brimming with wildlife.
And let's not forget the Costa Rican beaches. Rugged and wide, with surf from the
Pacific Ocean and often bordered by jungle. Costa Rica really is heaven.
Dotted along the coast beside these beaches and deep in the rainforest too you will find
many retreats waiting ready to give you your yoga holiday dose of meditation, surf,
healthy activities and yoga vacations.
Nicoya Peninsula is one of the most popular locations for affordable retreats in Costa Rica.
There is a large community of teachers, practitioners and travellers. So you will find
everything you need to make yourself happy during your stay, from classes in your
preferred yoga style to health food cafes catering to all diet requirements like raw and
vegan delicacies.
There are retreats running yoga holidays all over with lots of different focus.
You can spend time in the cooler mountains where the pace is slower, or head over to the
Caribbean coast where surfing is a popular pastime too. Or get into the yogi vibe in the
towns along Costa Rica's Pacific coastline.
What to do and where to go
There is a lot on offer here, covering a wide range of activities and price range.
Although you need to be a little careful with cost. With it's proximity to North America

Over the years a large array of wellness retreats have built up in Costa Rica to cater for
one of the favorite things we love to do whilst away. Who doesn't enjoy partaking in an
extensive spa menu over a long lazy day. There are all types of activities aimed at
promoting your overall well-being in Costa Rica, such as meditation, health retreats, yoga
sessions and the enviable spa resorts. There are even more physical programs that get
you active in the beautiful landscape and help improve your behaviour patterns and bodily

you'll find it easy here to get into a regular practice routine.
Which Retreat Center
All of us enjoy a different emphasis for our getaways. Some prefer comforts, others enjoy
a more rustic experience, maybe wild too, immersed in the natural environment. And
retreat centers often have activity specialisms which make them the perfect options for
some
There are so many I wouldn't like to suggest which one to stay at. Just best to point you
to the areas of the vibrant yogi communities which I have already done above. One things
for sure, there are many places that offer affordable yoga holidays in Costa Rica so you
don't have to be put off by the more touristy options.
And rest assured, you are always going to find a new lovely group of like-minded people,
a new tribe to hang out with, hit the mat for yoga sessions together, and feel the
rejuvenation of mind, body and soul whilst away. Have fun!
