Spend three weeks living jungle life to the fullest at the Yoga Farm in Costa Rica. This residency is rooted in wellness, creativity, community, and regenerative living. Connect deeply with nature, practice yoga daily, and engage in weekly workshops among a vibrant and supportive group of new friends.

Plan to work, play, practice, teach, and learn together here where the ocean meets the jungle. We’ll all do our best to live according to permaculture principles and practices, as well as permaculture and yogic philosophies. Both of these threads permeate life here, and over the course of a month they will become second nature to everybody here.

We’ll work in the garden and landscape, harvest, cook for one another, and upkeep the communal spaces together. Yoga Farm staff will provide hands-on learning experiences in permaculture design and practice, local plants, and tropical cooking, among other possible topics. In addition to farm-led activities and learning, all community members will come with something to share: a skill or an experience that they’ll share with their fellow Yoga Farmers in mini-workshop format. The skill-shares we’ve hosted here in the past have been super fun and informative - topics have ranged from deep dives into breathwork to a review of the geology of the Golf Dulce.

We love this Community Stay model and feel that it really captures the essence of what we are all about up here at the top of this hill: building community, being good to the earth, being good to each other, sharing food, and sharing knowledge.  

The Yoga Farm is a rustic yoga center and sustainable living project located on the southernmost Pacific coast Costa Rica; a short distance from the spectacular surfing beach of Pavones. Set amidst beautiful tropical rainforest, and overlooking open ocean, we are ideally located for those looking to reconnect with mind, body, and nature.

This remote area is geographically, biologically, and culturally diverse. There are plenty of opportunities to explore the forest, visit indigenous homesteads, as well as relax and play on a beach that is uncrowded by tourism or nightlife.

The landscape abounds with edible and medicinal plants, and we add to the harvestable amount of plant life on the property every season. We grow several varieties of bananas, pineapples, papayas, guanabana, coconuts, anona, jackfruit, starfruit, citrus, avocados, water apples, cinnamon, cacao, perennial greens and herbs, our own yoga farm bred chilis, bamboo, beans and peas, taro, ginger, turmeric, vanilla, and black pepper to name a few. Two fresh water springs provide us with crystal clear drinking water.

The ocean is a beautiful, constant, and integral part of life in Punta Banco. We are located at the southern tip of the Golfo Dulce, looking out both across the gulf to the Osa Peninsula and south to open Pacific waters. The area is home to an abundance of marine life. Sea turtles, dolphins and whales among many other species frequent the coastal waters, and local fisherman bring fresh catch to market several times a week. At low tides, the beach is perfect for walking, exploring tide pools, fishing, and sunbathing. Unlike much of Costa Rica, few tourists visit the beaches this far south, making it a perfect spot for stargazing and beach fires instead of noisy nightlife.

***This is an authentic jungle living experience; muddy feet, waking up with howler monkeys, and sharing space with unique critters and each other.

***There is wifi at the Yoga Farm, but we ask that folks living here limit their screen time in order to better connect with one another, the world around them, and themselves. Also, wifi may not consistently work - we are at the end of the fiber optic line here and many things can and do go wrong along the way.

***The Yoga Farm is a 10-15 minute walk up a STEEP dirt road from the beach. It is definitely a good workout - down for the legs and up for the heart :) 

We will celebrate and be nourished by three healthy + delicious meals a day. The food will be primarily vegetarian, Costa Rican-inspired, created with as many local + organic ingredients as possible, and made with love. We may offer a few fresh fish + chicken options depending on the preferences of the group. Unlimited coffee, tea, and farm snacks are always available. Opportunities to help in many aspects of nutrition if desired! Learn about growing food, harvesting, and a variety of jungle cooking skills. Please let us know your food preferences upon registration.  We can accommodate most diets and allergies.
