Find your balance, together
AcroYoga puts partner balance and shared movement at the heart of this Puerto Viejo intensive. Sessions bring together yoga, partner work and playful physical challenge, while the setting shifts the experience from studio routine to a Caribbean-style villa amid tropical greenery. The spacious house gives guests room to settle between practices, with air-conditioned rooms, Wi-Fi, a pool, towels, free parking and a kitchen. Bicycles can be rented for getting around. Dietary options span vegetarian, organic, gluten-free, dairy-free and nut-free choices. The intensive suits travelers drawn to movement and cooperative practice, though newcomers should check which experience level the sessions suit before reserving. Rates start at USD 70, and Puerto Viejo’s warm coastal climate and jungle surroundings make this an active retreat with plenty of room for downtime.

Setting
The retreat takes place in a spacious Caribbean-style villa surrounded by the lush greenery of Puerto Viejo. The house combines a tropical setting with practical comforts, making it a relaxed base between active sessions.
The practice
AcroYoga blends yoga with partner-based balance, support and shared movement. At this intensive, expect an active, cooperative practice rather than a meditation-only retreat. Newcomers can expect to explore movement with a partner; the session format and experience level are worth checking before arrival.
A typical day
The daily rhythm varies by retreat. The villa’s pool and kitchen provide places to relax between practice sessions, while exact session times and meal arrangements are details to settle before travel.
