Join a Yoga Retreat

You don't need to be advanced or flexible to attend. Blue Osa's yoga retreats welcomes all bodies.

Everything is included: private or shared beachfront accommodations, three organic farm-to-table meals daily, beach access, and infinity pool. You just need to book your flight to Costa Rica.

Blue Osa sits on the pristine Osa Peninsula in southwestern Costa Rica—one of Earth's most biodiverse regions. The beachfront property on Playa Tamales offers an ocean-view yoga studio, private beach access, and immersion in wild nature (scarlet macaws, monkeys, sloths). You'll fly to San José, take a 45-minute domestic flight to Puerto Jiménez, and Blue Osa can provide a pickup service.

Yes! Getting to Blue Osa is easier than you think. Most yogis fly into San José International Airport (SJO) with direct flights from major US cities including Miami, Houston, Los Angeles, and New York. From San José, you'll take a scenic 45-minute domestic flight to Puerto Jiménez on the Osa Peninsula. We send detailed travel instructions once you're registered, and our team is available to answer any questions before your arrival.

Yes! Costa Rica is one of the safest countries in Central America and Latin America, with a stable democracy and no military since 1949. The country welcomes millions of tourists annually and has a thriving wellness tourism industry. Blue Osa is located on the remote Osa Peninsula in a private, gated beachfront property with 24/7 staff presence. Our retreat has operated safely for over 20 years. Costa Rica is often called "Pura Vida" (pure life) for its peaceful, welcoming culture. Solo travelers, including women, regularly attend our programs and report feeling very safe throughout their stay.

No! All yoga retreats at Blue Osa are conducted entirely in English unless otherwise noted. Our staff speaks English and while knowing Spanish isn't necessary, you'll have opportunities to practice basic phrases with our friendly Costa Rican staff if you'd like. Many yogis arrive knowing no Spanish and have wonderful experiences. We provide translation assistance for any local interactions you might need during excursions.

Pack light, breathable clothing for tropical weather. Essentials include: 2-3 yoga outfits, swimsuit, lightweight rain jacket (green season), comfortable walking sandals, reef-safe sunscreen, insect repellent, reusable water bottle, journal, and any personal medications. We provide yoga mats, towels, and linens. The Osa Peninsula is warm year-round (75-85°F), so leave heavy clothing at home. Blue Osa has laundry service available. We send a detailed packing list upon registration. Remember: you're going to a beachfront retreat, not climbing Everest—keep it simple!
