Retreat Centers
Tierra de YOGA
Tierra de Yoga was a yoga center in the jungle at Playa Chiquita, south of Puerto Viejo on the Caribbean coast, with daily classes, all-inclusive retreats by visiting teachers and a 200-hour teacher training. In November 2026 its website no longer works and we found no recent listings, so treat this page as a record.
Update, November 2026: We couldn't confirm Tierra de Yoga is still running. Its website no longer works, and we found no recent listings, reviews or programs under that name. Don't confuse it with Tierra de Sueños, a different lodge and wellness center at Playa Chiquita that still hosts yoga retreats. We've kept this page as a record.
Tierra de Yoga was a yoga center at Playa Chiquita, a quiet stretch of the southern Caribbean coast about 6 km south of Puerto Viejo, between Cocles and Punta Uva. It was set up by yoga and wellness teachers to offer daily classes and all-inclusive retreats in the jungle a short walk from the beach.
What it offered
Tierra de Yoga ran daily classes and hosted week-long retreats led by visiting teachers, most of them all-inclusive. Its program list included a 200-hour teacher training, couples retreats, fitness and "bootcamp" weeks, a yoga and stand-up paddle retreat with a teacher-training option, a Pilates and surf week and yoga and cleanse retreats.
Yoga on the Caribbean coast today
The southern Caribbean still has open retreat centers. Samasati Nature Retreat sits in the rainforest above the coast between Cahuita and Puerto Viejo, and The Goddess Garden is in the forest near Cahuita.
