Yoga Revolution Academy

Study yoga by the Pacific

Costa Rica paid

Palm shade, tropical gardens and the Pacific set the scene for Yoga Revolution Academy’s 200-hour teacher training at Encantada Ocean Cottages in Esterillos Este. The program combines yoga study with practice in teaching inclusive classes, and invites participants to explore the connections between body, mind and spirit. Its approach also draws on Indigenous wisdom and nature’s rhythms, with community and personal values at the heart of the experience. The academy describes the training as a 10-day inward journey, making this a concentrated course rather than a conventional beach holiday. Between sessions, guests have a pool, yoga studio and restaurant on site, while plant-based meals bring together fresh local ingredients and Costa Rican flavors. Air-conditioned rooms and a laid-back cottage atmosphere make it easier to balance focused study with downtime. Confirm the next training dates and exactly what the program fee includes before booking.
