Surf & Yoga Wellness Escape in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica

Each day of this retreat is structured to combine two complementary practices: surfing and yoga. You'll have a total of eight surf lessons and nine yoga classes over the course of five days. The idea is that the focus and breathing required for yoga directly help with surfing, and the playful challenge of surfing keeps your yoga practice grounded and fun. Your instructors are local and experienced, dedicated to sharing their love of the ocean and the mat.

Surf lessons happen at Playa Santa Teresa, with times set according to the waves. You'll get feedback through photos and videos of each session, which is a great way to see your progress. The surf school provides all the necessary equipment, and instructors are patient and skilled at working with beginners. Yoga classes are at different studios around town, so you'll experience a range of styles from Hatha and Vinyasa to Yin and Restorative, keeping each session fresh.

The retreat is deliberately flexible. You can choose to practice yoga and surf in the same morning, leaving your afternoons completely free, or spread your activities across the day. This is your vacation, and the schedule is structured to fit around you. If you want to add on a rest day or plan other excursions, the hosts are happy to help you customize your week.

Your home base is in the center of Santa Teresa, close to the beach and all the town's amenities. The property is comfortable and clean, with a welcoming atmosphere. After a day of activity, you can relax in your room, explore the local shops and cafes, or simply unwind on the beach. The town is safe and friendly, blending local Tico culture with an international community of surfers and yogis.
