Bienestar Uvita Yoga Shala
Practice, pause, and share the space
Practice here has room to spill outdoors: Bienestar Uvita Yoga Shala pairs an open-air yoga platform with a covered deck for sessions, unhurried pauses and conversation. Its program theme of relationship and community suggests a retreat shaped as much by shared experience as by time on the mat, though the format can differ from one retreat to another. The shala sits in Uvita de Osa, and practical touches include Wi-Fi, towels, housekeeping, free parking, coffee and tea, plus bicycles for rent. Meal options listed range from vegan and vegetarian to pescetarian, with organic, gluten-free, dairy-free and nut-free choices; ask which suit your dates and whether meals are part of the package. Group shuttle arrangements are described for travel to and from San José Airport, with help navigating other Costa Rica transport. Retreat pricing starts at USD 600, so check the inclusions before booking.
