the SPACE

At the SPACE, a morning yoga session can begin in an open-air shala, while the day leaves room for a swim, a workout in the natural gym, or unhurried time among the trees. This San Juan del Sur retreat hostel brings practice and communal living together, with an outdoor setting for morning classes and ceremonies and a quieter indoor shala used for restorative evenings. Yoga is the main practice, with teacher Bernardo named among the guides; the broader intention is to use movement, meditation, breath and sound to make room for steadiness and self-awareness. Seasonal meals draw on locally sourced organic ingredients, including fruit, vegetables and herbs grown in the garden, and dietary styles listed range from vegetarian to pescetarian and meat-inclusive. Air-conditioned rooms and shared spaces make this a social base for a retreat, though each program’s schedule and inclusions can differ. Confirm the dates and meal arrangements before booking.

The practice

Yoga is the central practice, with movement, meditation, breath and sound woven into the retreat’s approach to wellbeing. Sessions use both outdoor and indoor practice spaces: mornings typically take place in the open-air shala, while restorative work may happen indoors in the evening. Beginners can ask the host which sessions and retreat dates suit their experience.

A typical day

The rhythm varies by retreat, but morning yoga is typically held in the outdoor shala, with ceremonies also taking place there.
