The Goddess Garden is a yoga teacher training center and yoga retreat center and most of all, an intentional place for yoga, meditation and transformation in Costa Rica. The magic of the Costa Rican Rainforest and the dance of the Caribbean Sea make for the perfect location.
The environment at The Goddess Garden is designed to help us remember our true nature, our essence. The team have opened the doors of this Yoga Retreat Center and Yoga Teacher Training Center for people who want to feel in harmony with nature and wish to practice yoga in this lovely rainforest and beach atmosphere.
The yoga rooms and accommodation rooms all look out onto the abundant and lush rainforest and jungle surroundings to ensure you feel instantly at peace and at one with nature. The stunning trees, native flowers and (friendly!) jungle animals all help enhance your stay and your yoga and meditation practice.
Costa Rica is a peaceful country and has a consciousness geared for peace and taking care of the environment, making it perfect for a mindful getaway.
The Goddess Garden is located on The Caribbean Coast in Cahuita, a small town 25 miles south of Limon. It is suggested you fly into San José International Airport (airport code SJO) where they can arrange your pick up and transportation. Cahuita is 4-5 hours from San Jose.

This mystical yoga teacher training curriculum is influenced around Peruvian Shamanism, providing students with a unique and spiritually driven course that goes beyond just a certification. Called by the energy of the Costa Rican mountains, ocean, spirits, and each other, the team invites you to come evolve on your spiritual and yogic path.
Everyone is wholeheartedly accepted and encouraged. The facilitators created and hold space where participants feel safe and comfortable. They support the growth and expansion of people’s horizons — physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and energetically. As a group, a community, a tribe and an extended family, you will practice and learn to let go.
The aim of this training is to guide aspirants through their own healing journey in order to better prepare them for healing others, letting go of anything that holds them back from what their hearts are truly called to do. You will unveil the true essence and sweet nectar of life.
You will be asked for dedication, commitment, and surrender, as well as full immersion in a spiritual community for the duration of the training.
Each day carries an intention, a spiritual lesson, that you will explore throughout the day. You will begin each morning with sunrise meditation, followed by a 90-minute asana practice and nourishing yogic breakfast. The days are spent learning yogic theories and healing practices through workshops, classes and group discussions.
During this time you will discuss the fundamentals of yogic living, including yogic diet, anatomy, meditation, cleansing practices, pranayama, Ayurveda and the ancient wisdom of the Yoga Sutras. This 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training also includes other methods of healing, calling on not just the physical and mental elements but also the more subtle forms of healing work such as earth medicines, energy healing and shamanic journeying.
You will also delve into the Art of Teaching and Art of Touch, during which you will learn to teach two asana sequences, the Mystical Hatha Flow, a slow, meditative, Sivananda-based practice, and the Mystical Vinyasa Flow, a more intense, breath-synchronized, and fluid flow. Students will explore proper asana alignment and adjustment of poses in depth as well as the key to intelligent sequencing. This forms the solid foundation upon which students can step into their unique teaching ability as a teacher. Each evening will end with Satsang, an evening gathering, which may be meditation, kirtan chanting or a sacred ceremony.
