wade through yoga
costa rica 2025
april 26th–may 2nd
Located in Nosara on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, it’s the ideal place to recoup and catch your breath.
Nosara is the ideal location to recoup and catch your breath. Located on the pacific coast of Costa Rica, this beautiful village holds something for everyone. Its sweeping beaches and lush jungle provide an amazing escape for those who want a break. Referred to as the area’s “yoga center” and renown for it’s incredible surf, Nosara is also a perfect place for fishing trips, horse backing, snorkeling, ziplining, surf lessons, massages, delicious dining options or just simply laying around on the beach to re-energize. This area has been a personal favorite of mine for years and I am thrilled to be sharing all that it has to offer with you, while you refine your yoga practice.
In this paradise lies Ride On Hotel, a gem located in a secluded corner of Nosara. With a venue that supplies the right amount of privacy and proximity to Guiones, guests can explore the town and local culture or head out on the 2-minute walk to the panoramic beaches that lie just beyond the property. With its laid-back but attentive approach to detail, the Ride On Hotel is a superb setting to retreat. With its pristine modern guest rooms, inviting saltwater pool and spacious yoga area, this hotel is what any yogi could want in a getaway. The beautiful yoga shala is located on the property and is fully equipped with everything yoga: mats, blankets, straps etc. where two yoga classes will be provided daily. The morning practice is designed to shake the “rust and cobwebs” loose, where the late-afternoon classes lend themselves to a more relaxing, restorative vibe while simultaneously capturing the magnificent sunsets. This picturesque environment combined with top shelf accommodations and an attentive, meticulous yoga practice blends all elements together for a truly spectacular tropical yoga retreat.
Looking to create a true retreat for mind, body and spirit, silent mornings before the 8:30 practice will be observed. This time can be spent meditating and setting the tone for your day while having a light bite.
Daily Breakfast, 2 dinners offsite at local restaurants where I’ve enjoyed many delicious meals, and the remaining dinners will be at Ride On Hotel. Please inform us of any specific dietary requirements prior to the retreat commencing, to ensure we accommodate your food requirements accordingly.
Numerous recreational activities can be arranged through Ride On Hotel which include (but are not limited to): Fishing trips, massages, horseback riding, and surf lessons. In addition, yogis are encouraged to explore the town, enjoy the glorious beaches, check out the farmers market, or take a tour of the local coffee plantation.
