Stillpoint Yoga

Update, November 2026: We couldn't confirm Stillpoint Yoga is still running. Its old website no longer works, and we found no current listing for it or for classes at Finca Las Cascadas. Treat it as closed unless you hear otherwise.

Stillpoint Yoga was the work of Janet Crump, a certified Kripalu yoga teacher who began practicing in 1990 and teaching in 1998. Her classes blended Kripalu yoga, a gentle, inward-looking style, with the alignment of Anusara and Iyengar yoga.

Where it was

Janet taught at Finca Las Cascadas, a farm in Turrubares, on the winding road that runs from Santiago de Puriscal toward Orotina, about 17 km past Puriscal. The old listing put it about an hour's drive southwest of San José.

What the classes were like

The classes were built around the basics: breathing for relaxation, gentle stretching, careful alignment in each pose, and a short sequence you could take home and practice on your own. The emphasis was on listening to your body and respecting its limits rather than pushing. Janet taught beginners and intermediate students, in English and Spanish.
