The Montezuma/Malpais area of Costa Rica is known not only for its natural beauty but for its holistic approach to life. Practicing Yoga in any form is a great way to start the day. Many surfers use yoga as a way to stretch their muscles before entering the water, and see Yoga’s flexibility benefits as an important counterbalance to the strength gained from all that paddling.

Despite the hot climate, practicing Yoga in Costa Rica will give you energy, and pull you into a deeper and more connected experience. Your sweating helps to remove toxins from your body, which will leave you healthier and happier.

Anamaya resort is hosting yoga teacher trainings in September, October, and Nov/Dec 2012. The prices are lower for early signup. Teacher trainings aren’t just for those of you who want to be teachers. It’s also a great way to advance your own yoga skills to a point you never thought possible. Plus, you’ll be fed a super-healthy diet for the entire four weeks. The two together will put you in the best health of your life, both physically and biochemically.
