El Sabanero Eco-Retreat

Found just outside the town of Tamarindo, El Sabanero offers its visitors peaceful tropical gardens, ethically made bungalows, and plenty of yoga. Each year, yoga teachers from all over the world host retreats for a variety of different practices. The popular retreat here is the “Revitalize and Rejuvenate” retreat. It’s a six-day course that has two yoga practices a day, vegetarian meals, and time to sit back and relax.

Montezuma Yoga

This is one of the original yoga centers in Costa Rica and is situated in Montezuma at Hotel Los Mangos. Yoga teacher Dagmar Spremberg, created this oasis of calm. There are three main retreats to choose from: Yoga and Spanish, Yoga and Wellness, and Yoga and Surf. Each of the retreats has a daily yoga practice, along with an accompanying activity such as language learning, surfing, or meditation. 

Vida Asana

If you want to head to the center of the country, then Vida Asana in San Jose is your best option. Yogis from around the world hold retreats here and there’s a big focus on surfing and yoga. The cottages are built to blend in with the jungle and there is beach access from the resort itself.

The New Paradigm with HealHaus

The Bed Stuy-based wellness center “was born out of the need for a wellness concept that reflects the collective and allows people to come as they are without any judgements or expectations,” said co-founder Elisa Shankle, who founded the organization alongside Darian Hall. In addition to virtual classes being offered daily, on May 30 HealHaus is celebrating their two year anniversary with activities all day like Yin + Zen Yoga, lessons on food that give mental clarity, “Breathe and Groove” session, mindfulness lessons, and DJ breaks.

Recess With the BK Yoga Club

Founded by Paris Alexandra and Alicia Ferguson, the pair wanted to design a space where people could feel comfortable regardless of their size and background. For just $12, they offer virtual yoga classes and on June 27 they’re hosting Recess, a one-day retreat which will have sound bowl meditations, poetry, art therapy, light yoga, intuitive movement session, etc. “This series allows you to create joy in these times of uncertainty. Let’s give ourselves permission to pour into self,” Alexandra said.

The Circle With Black Girl in Om

This members-only digital community for women of color started hosting their first five-week virtual retreat on April 25, with a different theme each week. So far the themes have included breaking the shell, setting your intention, expanding beyond limitations, etc. The second installment starts at the end of May and there’s already a waitlist. Founder Lauren Ash said The Circle is aimed at women of color “interested in investing in their healing and affirming their wholeness. Healing is the intention that propels us toward radical self-love.”
