Yoga in PachaMama

Daily yoga classes, seasonal retreats, and teacher trainings in the heart of Costa Rica’s Blue Zone.

Whether you’re stepping onto the mat for the first time or have been practicing for years, yoga at PachaMama is an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and deepen your relationship with yourself. Rooted in presence rather than performance, our classes support every stage of your journey.

Our daily classes welcome complete beginners alongside experienced practitioners, creating a space where everyone can explore at their own pace. Some guests come simply to move their bodies during their stay, while others arrive seeking a deeper practice, a teacher training, or a way to complement a healing journey.

If you’re looking for a competitive fitness environment or a studio focused purely on physical performance, PachaMama may not be the right fit. Here, yoga is practiced as a way of cultivating awareness, balance, and connection.

Morning classes 6:30 – 7:30
Afternoon classes 4:00 -5:00

More Than a Yoga Studio

Yoga at PachaMama extends beyond the mat.

Rather than existing as a standalone studio, yoga is woven into the rhythm of daily life. Morning practice flows naturally into nourishing meals, quiet moments in nature, community gatherings, Silent Sitting, and opportunities for emotional awareness and personal exploration.

Our approach is non-dogmatic and inclusive, bringing together experienced teachers from diverse traditions while encouraging every student to discover a practice that feels authentic to them.

Whether you’re here for a few days or several weeks, yoga becomes part of a larger experience of living with greater presence.

A Day of Yoga at PachaMama

Rather than following a rigid schedule, yoga naturally becomes part of the daily rhythm of village life.

Begin the morning with a yoga class overlooking the forest before sharing breakfast with the community. Throughout the day, you might join another movement class, relax by the river, receive a Healing Arts session, or attend a workshop. As the sun sets, many guests gather for Silent Sitting meditation before sharing dinner and the evening program together.

Daily yoga classes are included for guests staying at PachaMama.

What You’ll Take Home

Every practice is different, but many guests leave with:

  • A sustainable yoga practice they can continue at home.
  • Greater body awareness and ease in movement.
  • A calmer, more regulated nervous system.
  • A deeper understanding of breath and meditation.
  • Renewed clarity, presence, and connection.
  • Inspiration to continue exploring yoga beyond the physical practice.

Karma Yoga

Karma Yoga is a path from the Bhagavad Gita that teaches selfless action and doing helpful work with care and attention, without seeking praise or reward.  We offer certified yoga teachers from the Volunteer Program the opportunity to give back to the community by guest teaching in select spots during the week.
