Cabuya, Costa Rica

The art of yoga -- part spiritual journey, part physical challenge -- is our life's blood at Sunflower Retreats. And when you join us on an adventure in Cabuya, Costa Rica, that journey is elevated from adventure to once-in-a-lifetime thrill.

Cabuya is one of Costa Rica's most glorious spots, filled with white sand beaches and mountain vistas. At the lodge where we host our retreats, you can hike for more than a mile through a jungle path. You can climb on horseback and experience the environment from atop a gentle steed. Or you can laze in a hammock on an outdoor terrace and doze to the sounds of a chorus of birds -- it's all up to you.

At Sunflower Retreats, we offer it all but insist on nothing. We offer classes with teachers from around the globe, but you needn't take any if you're a "non-yogi." We welcome everyone, from beginners to veteran yoga practitioners, because we only suggest -- the rest is up to you.

We also offer an array of Ayurvedic treatments by licensed therapists, who restore your body and replenish your spirit. There is private accommodation, if that's your preference, or you can share a room with a friend.

However you see your yoga holiday unfolding is exactly how it will unfold, because your well-being is our only concern.

The lodge in Cabuya where we stay works closely with locals to see that all your food is organic and fresh, filled with nutritious, tasty flavours. Any dietary restrictions you may have are, of course, addressed at every meal.

Along with yoga, there is swimming and surfing, suntanning and snoozing. Do yoga each day, or do none... like everything else on a Sunflower Retreat, the choice is entirely yours.
