Escape The Cold, Yoga Retreats in Costa Rica

Are you getting sick of the winter months already? Well, then I’ve got good news for you! You can escape the cold and go to Costa Rica, where the temperature doesn’t change all year long. Why is that? Well, the equator of course. And another great thing is, because of the winter months, a lot of yoga retreats are now rating for low-season. So if nothing stands in your way, then say goodbye to the cold and hello to the sun! Here we go!

Affordable Yoga Retreats Costa Rica

Traveling during the winter is amazing, not just because the prices are so low, but there are a lot of destinations where you can go, for a lot cheaper than they normally are. In this first part of the article, we’ll talk about quite some budget yoga retreats in Costa Rica, just for you. There are only a couple of things you need to be aware of:

First of all, if you are traveling on a budget, often means that you have to sacrifice on a thing or two. At most retreats, this will mean that you’ll have to share accommodation. I’ve seen it quite often already that you’ll be sleeping in dorms up to 6 people. But hey, you do save a couple of 100 dollars on your trip. Which is worth it.

Of course, that’s the thing about traveling on a budget, you can’t expect the best of the best to save some money. Luckily the next retreats have a great program and some great guidance as well, for a very good price. If you are more into some luxury, you can scroll down and head to the section of Luxury Yoga Retreats In Costa Rica.

Let’s begin with the first Yoga Retreats in Costa Rica on a budget.

#1 Budget Eco Yoga Retreat, Paraíso

FINCA AGROECOLOGICA LA FLOR (Prices Start at US$ 300)

This first one is amazing. It’s taking place in an Eco-Village. So if you are all about sustainability, this is the place to be. During a five day stay, you won’t only be doing yoga twice a day, you’ll also be enjoying some great vegetarian meals. They try to be as self-sustainable as possible, which means that they try to cultivate as many veggies out of their garden.

Another great thing about this retreat is that everyone will have private accommodation. Of course, you can’t expect the greatest luxury of it. But even within their basic package, it’s going to be a great experience. You won’t be able to browse the internet during the nights as internet won’t be available in your cabin. Which is a great way to get a little Tech-Detox.

This retreat is available all year round, so if you can’t make it this winter, you can also go in the summer at the same price! For more information about this retreat, click here.

#2 Yoga And Surf Retreat, Santa Teresa

 Funky Monkey Lodge (Prices start at US$ 670)

With this one, you’ve got to be a bit careful. During winter they are actually in High Season, which means that up until April they are not considered a budget retreat. May and June though, they are having this amazing price for a shared accommodation with four people. Which is quite alright if you see what you are getting in return.

For 8 days long you’ll be immersed in the world of yoga and surf. You’ll be getting 4 surf classes and two daily yoga classes. And one of the yoga styles they offer is Aerial yoga! And that’s all included in the price of US$ 670! There aren’t even any hidden costs as for the surf classes you’ll also be able to rent a surfboard, free of charge.

So, if you are into surf, yoga and some deep relaxation at the beach, this is a place that you have to keep in your mind. Just make sure that you book from May to June as then the prices are at its cheapest. That is if you are looking for a budget retreat of course.

Otherwise, just have a look here to see what the difference is between the three seasons they have to offer.

#3 Yoga and Permaculture Retreat, Cobano

Rancho Delicioso (Prices Start from US$ 581)

If you are into permaculture and you’d like to know a bit more about it, then this retreat is something for you. For 7 days long you’ll be getting a daily workshop into the art of shaping the land sustainably. So, yeah, it’s not just a relaxing holiday, but also a very informative one. And if you are into a work vacation, you can always help them out a bit while you are learning a lot about permaculture!

Not only that, but there’s also a workshop on making your raw chocolate! So if you are a big fan of this amazing delight, this might be a good opportunity to learn how to make a healthy alternative for regular store-bought chocolate.

The yoga itself is also present of course, and they also offer some aerial classes into their package! There is only one yoga class scheduled a day, but that also leaves some space to do some other activities which are included within the package. The extra trips are included, except for the extra things like souvenirs and drinks you’ll be buying during those excursions of course.

If you and your partner are a bit in a draft and are looking for something different, then this is the place to be. Under the guidance of Rima, you’ll re-ignite your fire for your partner.
