4 Day Yoga, Osteopathy, and Massage Retreat in Monteverde's Cloud Forest

Finca Camino Nuevo sits at about 1200 meters above sea level in San Luis, a small town above Monteverde. The farm is surrounded by primary cloud forest, and from the rooms and common areas you can see across the San Luis Valley all the way to the Gulf of Nicoya. The air is cool and fresh, and the nights can get chilly, so extra blankets are provided. The architecture uses natural, locally sourced materials, keeping the buildings simple and integrated into the landscape.

Each morning begins with an optional 75-minute yoga class at 7 AM in the open-air studio, followed by breakfast at 8:30. The rest of the day is largely free, though guests can join a permaculture lesson in the afternoon, help in the gardens, or book additional bodywork sessions. The schedule is flexible and can be tailored to individual needs, whether you want to intensify your practice or simply rest.

Steven, who leads the yoga classes, has a background in movement that spans dance, acroyoga, functional movement, and capoeira. His classes emphasize breath, alignment, and body awareness, with the goal of helping people move with more ease and resilience in daily life. Osteopath Lotte brings a gentle, listening approach to her hands-on work, informed by embryology and advanced training in women's health, making sessions particularly suited to those with specific needs.

The retreat center fosters a community feel, with guests often gathering for meals or relaxing in the common spaces. The small group size, usually between one and six participants, ensures personalized attention both in the yoga sessions and in the bodywork. This retreat suits anyone wanting to combine a yoga and nature retreat with hands-on therapeutic treatment, all set in one of Costa Rica's most ecologically rich regions.
