Retreats


This spring, The Flying Yogi will be offering a very special kind of retreat - combining the healing benefits of Suspension Yoga with the exhilarating magic and rhythm of Nia, all in the beautiful rainforest setting of Costa Rica. Our accomodations will be with Ama Tierra, an *award winning rural eco-retreat center that is nestled on 8 acres in the Costa Rican mountains, situated just 1 hour from San Jose and 1 hour north of the Central Pacific Beaches.
Note: Hatha Yoga classes will also be offered as a substitute option to Suspension Yoga for those who wish it.
*Ama Tierra is this year's winner of the Traveler's Choice Award with TripAdvisor.com having been voted by travelers as the #1 Hotel/Spa in Central and South America!

During your stay at Ama Tierra you will be lodging in charming, double occupancy cabins, dining on 3 delicious organic meals a day seasoned with fresh herbs grown in Ama Tierra’s own herb garden and marveling at the splendor of the rainforest surrounding their beautiful open-air yoga pavilion. Expect to be visited by macaws, toucans, the mischievous local white-face monkeys and flocks of colourful butterflies. During leisure time, you may choose to pamper yourself with some of the many rejuvenating treatments offered at the resort’s spa. www.amatierra.com
