 Our
Costa Rica Yoga retreat offers visitors a truly unique traveling
experience. We are a simple quiet peaceful retreat center
with basic comforts located in the pristine virgin rainforest
above Punta Banco beach which is the next town down from Pavones.
 We are
not a spa, We are a destination for those who want to visit a location
that offers pristine virgin rain forest and clean beaches with few people
on it, except for the occasional local Costa Rican fishing and a few
visitors. One advantage of the area is that it has little night life and
shopping, rather it offers the opportunity to go for hikes in the rain
forest, horse back trips, cultural visits with indigenous families
where they can learn traditional indigenous crafts and see beautiful
wildlife. You will find our facility to be simple, clean and
comfortable.
The style of yoga we practice integrates many different forms of yoga
asana. Guests look out over the rainforest and ocean and enjoy a soothing
ocean breeze in our hardwood floor open air yoga studio.
Our location is in a valley surrounded by primary rain forest
with a
spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean.

Our region of Costa Rica is considered to be one of the most biologically
diverse in the world, and guests frequently will see and hear tropical
wildlife. Our location is home to several species of monkeys, parrots,
toucans, sloths, iguanas, and an abundance of other animals.
The Yoga Farm is also dedicated to wildlife conservation
research and rehabilitation. We currently sponsor a
Spider Monkey
research project in order to study this endangered primate with hopes
to restore the population of this primate back to healthy numbers. The
Yoga Farm is also working to expand our conservation work to help restore
other species and habitats. To learn more about the project

The Yoga Farm is also a working farm, working daily towards self
sufficiency. So you will also be in a place that has people working on our
gardens, grounds and buildings.
There is
little development around us, the beaches have few people on it, there are
no big hotels around, basically no shopping or night life. The nearest
banks and Internet are in Pasa Canoas or Golfito (2-3 hours away).
You should
also have a minimal level of fitness as we live in the mountains and there
is a brisk 15 minute walk up a dirt road from the beach to The Yoga Farm.
You
definitely don't need to be an athlete to visit us, we had a 70 years old
woman who visited us, she walked to and from the beach daily and enjoyed
her visit a lot and in fact returned several months later to visit us
again.
We ask
that people refrain from drinking alcohol or taking drugs on the Farm's
property. We welcome people who want to enjoy a drink or whatever to do
this at the beach, local bars or restaurants.
The Yoga Farm
is for people who want to be surrounded by breathtaking nature, go for
hikes in nature, practice yoga, eat healthy food, spend time at the beach
- basically it is a place to unwind, slow down, breath lots of fresh air
and re-connect..
