Cultivating Joy

An Iyengar Yoga Retreat

with Sara Easterson-Bond

Playa Uvita, Costa Rica April 24-30, 2026

Seeking Joy? Step out of your routine and join Sara for an Iyengar Yoga Retreat in Costa Rica.  20th century yoga master, B.K.S. Iyengar said “A great boon of yoga, even for beginners, is the happiness it brings…”  And there is no better place to immerse yourself in happiness than the land of Pura Vida, translated as “Pure Life”.

Costa Rican culture is relaxed, and these days almost uniquely, optimistic and connected to the natural world. Through Sara’s compassionate and experienced guidance, participants will explore the beauty of their own embodiment, against the backdrop of lush tropical forest and sandy beaches. In an open-air pavilion, twice daily yoga practices will introduce tools to spark joy on and off the mat. All levels of students are welcome.

Your retreat also includes plenty of time to enjoy all that Playa Uvita has to offer. Hiking, surfing, swimming, and birdwatching are all possible right on the property. Self-care is encouraged through napping and/or spa treatments depending on your temperament. Nourishing meals are sourced primarily from a nearby organic farm. Adding to the joy will be a group excursion by boat through a Mangrove forest and the opportunity to help out a Marine Turtles Rescue Project.
