5-Day Yin Yoga & Myofascial Release Teacher Training in Costa Rica

This training is built around the idea of creating space. Yin yoga works with the connective tissues and the body's meridian lines, holding floor poses for several minutes at a time so that tension can slowly release. You'll learn how to sequence these postures, how to use props, and how to guide others into that same state of surrender. The myofascial release component adds practical tools for targeting tight fascia, which can be used both in your own practice and when working with students.

The daily schedule runs from about 7:30 in the morning until early evening. Mornings start with meditation and pranayama, followed by a dynamic asana practice. After a big breakfast, you'll move into a two-hour theory session covering yin yoga philosophy, the connection to TCM meridians, and the theory of the five elements. After lunch, there's another theory session on the art of teaching, and then an evening yin practice to wind down.

The retreat centre itself is set in a garden full of tropical plants, just minutes from the beach in Puerto Viejo. It's a laid-back, Caribbean town on Costa Rica's southern coast, with a relaxed attitude that matches the pace of the course. When you're not in class, you can easily walk to the beach for a swim, rent a bike, or book an optional surf lesson or massage.

What makes this training different is the combination of yin yoga and myofascial release, which isn't common in most teacher trainings. Daniela, the lead teacher, has been practicing since 2000 and teaching since 2016, and she brings a blend of alignment-focused vinyasa and the more inward, surrender-based style of yin. The small group size means you get direct feedback and personal guidance throughout the five days, whether you're new to teaching or already have experience.
