Costa Rica surf and yoga escape, all year round excluding October
Break away from your daily routine and try something new. Costa Rica, a tropical paradise, is the perfect location to refresh and connect with the awesome power of nature. Come and feel empowered to believe in yourself while you learn to surf. Surfing is a powerful tool to connect yourself to the sea and its vibrant energy.
Balance your surfing with yoga and connect with your inner self, bringing together mind and body. All our surf lessons and yoga sessions are lead by fully certified, experienced instructors.
Believe. It is our lemma, our motto. What drove us here. Believe in the innate potential we have when we are connected with ourselves and nature. It is more than a beach holiday or a trip across great landscapes. Let yourself go along the whole journey:
Surfing, enjoying the fantastic beaches of Santa Teresa and the wonderful nature around, while nurturing our body and mind consciousness, through yoga and healthy food habits. A brief experience may leave a significant trace in our life. And, without noticing, the smallest detail changes our mind. This is the cornerstone of our project; what we seek for, every day.

Maybe zip-lining through the rainforest canopy, a quad bike tour along the coast, visit a chocolate or coffee factory and so much more.
Enjoy evening yoga and then settle down to a vegan / vegetarian dinner and fall asleep listening to the cacophony of sounds of the evening jungle animals and the waves below.
We have chosen this area as you will be in the thick of the wellness zone and free to make the holiday what you choose it to be so it could be; a pure surf holiday, or you might opt for adventure activities or you might want to simply relax on the beach and read a great book.
