Costa Rica has become extremely popular as a destination for yoga retreats due to its natural beauty and biodiversity, outdoor activities and adventures, and it's positive and happy attitude and vibe, Pura Vida!
Pura Vida means 'pure life' and is used repeatedly in Costa Rica by locals instead of saying hello, goodbye, thank you, and more.
This positive attitude, Pura Vida, aligns very closely with yoga philosophy, such as being happy and content with what is, and living life authentically and purposefully.
This inspiring and progressive culture attracts many tourists and travellers to visit, and of course yogis.
This leaves lots of free time during the day, either for self-reflection, meditation, or to explore the beautiful country and take advantage of all the fun outdoor activities and adventures.
You can explore the lush rainforests and jungles with high levels of precipitation and lots of living vegetation, or take a jungle tour in the hot and dry cloud forest.
