Yoga Retreat in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica

Our tropical surf and yoga adventure is at an intimate beachfront hotel located in Santa Teresa, a breathtaking white sand beach on the Pacific Ocean of Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula Blue Zone. Situated on four acres of unspoiled tropical beach, you will find beautiful swimming areas and also outcroppings of rock where natural tide pools form. One of the best things about staying at Tropico Latino is the beachfront access. Whether you’re a surfer, swimmer, beach walker, or all of the above, you’ll find the hotel perfectly located. Christopher Golden and Stacy Haessler are good friends who met during a Yoga Shanti teacher training many years ago. They both love the space of retreat as a way to dive into yoga and completely relax.

  • 6 nights, 7 days at a beautiful hotel on the beach in Santa Teresa
  • 2 daily yoga classes (arrival day there will be a single afternoon class and on departure day there will be a morning class).
  • 3 meals daily that emphasize organic and local foods. 2 dinners not included (this will
    be an opportunity to explore Santa Theresa).

  • Surf Lessons (arranged upon arrival)
  • Spa Appointments (arranged upon arrival)

Joy of the Yogini: Annual Women’s Yoga Retreat!

For our 2025 women’s retreat in the Caribbean, we return to the absolutely gorgeous hotel Lula in Tulum, Mexico. Our retreat group will take over the entire hotel, which has 18 rooms. Hotel Lula is a high-end boutique hotel right on the beach, and each of us will have a reserved beach bed for the week! The restaurant is rated as one of the best, and the yoga shala is exquisite. Spa treatments are also plentiful – here is a sampling.

The all-inclusive rates cover accommodation, yoga, and food (except for one night), as well as the 23% tax fee. All service charges and gratuities are also included in this price. The only exception is if you order a-la-carte food or drinks that are not on our meal plan, they will cost extra. Spa treatments, flights to Tulum, Mexico, and airport transfers are not included in the rate. Most of the rooms are suitable for 2 people, and there are some that can be shared among 3 women. We can’t wait to meet again on the beach in Tulum this coming winter!
