8-Day Surf and Yoga Wellness Retreat in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica

The retreat runs for eight days and seven nights, with the core being seven three-hour surf lessons led by Vladimir, a local instructor who knows the Santa Teresa breaks well. Lessons happen in the mornings, timed to the tides and weather, so you'll get consistent, daily feedback and practice. The hostel pairs this with four yoga classes that target the shoulders, hips, and core—the muscle groups most used in surfing— helping with recovery and flexibility. It's designed to make you a better surfer and to prevent the usual stiffness that comes from heavy paddling and popping up.
