Yoga and surfing have become increasingly popular among young urban adults that are looking for an escape from their hectic lives and lifestyles.  The Harmony Hotel in Nosara offers the perfect conditions for such retreats and has been successfully catering to small groups for years.  The hotel is located on one of Costa Rica’s most popular surfing beaches, Playa Guiones and offers some of the best yoga and wellness installations in Guanacaste.  Some guests come on their own and enjoy the surf and yoga at their own rhythm, but if you are interested in being part of a group, take a look at the information below.

Guionesis a peaceful beach town, perfect for a nature lover's vacation and one of the best beaches in the country to learn to surf offering consistent waves year-round with long beach breaks. It has a 6 km (3.75 mi) stretch of sand beach great for hanging out, taking long walks or exploring the tide pools. Due to the environmental conservation efforts in the area no buildings exist on the beachfront giving the feel of really being in a remote tropical paradise. Guiones is an ideal place to disconnect from a busy lifestyle, reconnect to slow and tranquil time and to have some fun in the sun and surf.

Yoga sessions are held every morning for one hour in an open-air yoga space surrounded by tropical gardens. For surf lessons, Harmony has teamed up with experienced surf instructors who provide excellent quality lessons. You can receive up to 1.5 hour exiting lessons the days of the week you want. Start the lessons and let the fun begin! You will quickly see the synergy between yoga and surfing and be able to fully feel the flow in each of the practices.

For those who are more experienced in surfing this is a great opportunity to fine-tune the skills and really see how much more there is to learn. The surf instructors teach sponsored and competitive surfers and no matter what your level of surfing they can progress anyone’s ability.

Optional outing on a rainforest canopy tour can be perfectly organized as well and other activities & tours include Guided Nature Hikes in the Nosara wildlife reserve, boat tours, sea kayaking through mangroves, horseback riding along the beach or into the countryside and turtle viewing at Ostional Wildlife Reserve (dependent on the season).
