About Costa Rica Yoga Retreats
Costa Rica Yoga Retreats is an independent guide to yoga in Costa Rica, online since 2011. We cover retreat centers, teacher trainings, studios and yoga-and-surf stays, region by region.
A member of Pizote Press sites
Costa Rica Yoga Retreats is part of Pizote Press, a group of independent Costa Rica travel sites. Before that, we were one of the Costa Rica Journeys Guides, the family of Costa Rica travel guides that began in 2010. Pizote Press carries that work forward with the same writers, the same love of the country and a fresh new look. Each site sticks to what it knows best: yoga, diving, beaches, eco-lodges, sailing and the towns and wild places in between.
The pizote is the white-nosed coati, the curious, ring-tailed explorer you'll meet on trails all over Costa Rica. It pokes its nose into everything, which is roughly how we like to research a story.
Who we are
Costa Rica Yoga Retreats was started by Geoff McCabe in 2011. Most of its retreat profiles were written by yoga teachers Sara Zen and Monirul Hoque, who know the country's retreat centers, trainings and studios first-hand.
What we cover
- Retreat centers from Santa Teresa and Nosara to the Osa Peninsula, the Caribbean coast and the mountains
- Yoga teacher trainings
- Studios in San José and the Central Valley
- Yoga and surfing, ecological programs and permaculture
- Yoga styles, prenatal yoga, yoga for kids and the regions of Costa Rica
How we work
- Nobody pays to be listed, ranked or reviewed.
- We check retreat centers against their own websites and recent guest reports.
- Every article shows who wrote it and when it was last checked. When a place closes or changes its name, we say so at the top of its article.
- We don't publish prices, because they change too often to be reliable.
