Malpais, Costa RicaIf you've ever dreamed of catching a wave, of feeling the balance, grace, and joy of playing in a warm ocean, then this is your adventure. Imagine: white sandy beaches, an unspoiled rainforest, a laid back bungalow right on the beach near a funky, friendly village, and a bunch of fun-loving women to share the experience in a pressure-free, non-competitive environment.

Our perfect recipe for relaxation and rejuvenation includes a blend of daily yoga and surfing spiced with long walks on the beach, a dollop of massage, and plenty of free time, all complimented by outrageously fresh local cuisine and our expert staff to guide and support you every step of the way.

Perfect for first-timers and accomplished surfers alike, our retreat promises the exhilaration that comes from catching a wave, and the peace that comes from a daily yoga practice, and reconnection with nature. Come celebrate the surf and soul of Costa Rican culture with us this spring!

What to Expect at the Costa Rica Surf and Yoga Retreat:

Awaken slowly to the sound of the ocean lapping the shore. Start the day conversing with new friends over a vibrant gourmet breakfast served with warm, tropical breezes. Before we take to the water, we’ll spend 30 minutes gently unfolding our arms, back, and shoulders through yoga and stretching. Then it’s cowabunga time as we learn to ride the ebb and flow of the ocean in an intimate environment with one instructor per every two students. After lunch, we’ll do a 60-90 minute yoga session designed to support our bodies’ surfing endeavors. Our inspired teacher Francella Soza leads a vinyasa-style class on the on a wooden platform with a thatched roof right on the beach. We’ll have an opportunity for more surfing in the afternoon, and some days we’ll spend in town shopping, or playing in the rainforest. Evenings are filled with friendship and laughter, whether we’re kicking back beachside, enjoying a bonfire, or taking salsa lessons.
