Costa Rica Yoga + Surf Retreat

This Costa Rica yoga and surf retreat is a week of yoga, breathwork, meditation and sound healing at Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort in Nosara, on the Pacific coast of Guanacaste. It is written for people who feel depleted and want a real reset: those who have been giving to everyone else and are ready to rest, move gently and spend time in the sun. Yoga by Rony hosts the retreat, and the pace is built around learning to slow down. Beginners and experienced practitioners are equally welcome.

What to Expect

The retreat runs six nights and seven days, and the days follow the rhythm of nature: waking with the sunrise and unwinding with the sunset. The teaching centers on regulating the nervous system, releasing chronic stress and building a sense of calm you can take home.

The week's offerings include:

- Vinyasa flow
- Restorative and yin yoga
- Sound healing
- Guided breathwork
- Meditation practices
- Nervous system regulation techniques
- Mindful reflection and connection

Alongside the practice there is some adventure. You have one semi-private surf lesson, an excursion to see turtles at Ostional, and a guided walking tour of Guiones downtown. Complimentary bicycles are available for getting around Nosara, so you can explore at your own pace.

The Setting

Nosara is known for its beaches, tropical jungle and wildlife. Monkeys move through the trees, birds sing around the mat, and sunsets become part of the daily routine. Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort sits among tropical gardens and jungle pathways, with yoga shalas, salt water pools and farm-to-table cooking.

Rooms vary, and all have air conditioning, Egyptian cotton sheets, a wet bar and a laptop-sized safe:

- King Bungalow: a king bed, high ceilings, a jungle-view balcony and an open-air rainfall shower. Single occupancy only.
- Queen Bungalow: two queen beds and a jungle-view balcony, for double or triple occupancy.
- Jungle Room: two queen beds and an outdoor terrace, for double or triple occupancy.
- Tree Top King: a king bed and a shared balcony looking over the jungle and the Bodhi Village pool, for single or double occupancy.

Three meals are served each day, built around fresh local ingredients: tropical fruit, vegetables and wholesome proteins, meant to leave you energized.

Transportation from Liberia Airport (LIR) to Bodhi Tree is included, provided you arrive and depart within the set timeframe.
