Blue Osa Bliss Yoga Retreat – A Costa Rican Adventure

A Costa Rican adventure located on the osa peninsula, where the jungle meets the ocean for the nature adventure of a lifetime.

Join us for a remote Yoga adventure nestled into the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica. This secluded open-air beachfront resort is the place where the jungle meets the ocean and the only sounds for miles are those of nature.

Named by National Geographic as “the most biologically intense place on earth,” the Osa Peninsula is a true jewel of land, water, and life. Located on the southern tip of Costa Rica, this Peninsula is a world-renowned rainforest destination offering breathtaking, untouched scenery, secluded beaches, and abundant wildlife.

This retreat is an opportunity to deep dive into the beauty and rhythms of mama Earth, but more importantly, the beauty and rhythms within you. Awaken your senses, explore new realms, ignite your spirit and surrender into the bliss deep within! Nature is THE best medicine.

The retreat will recalibrate to the core, should you come with that intention. Plenty of adventure is available to those with a more curious spirit: learn to surf, SUP surf, swim, repel on waterfalls in the middle of the jungle, hike, take a horseback ride down the beach, sing with the birds and so much more!

Mar, 26 — Apr, 2 | $2350
