Update, November 2026: Via Yoga's old website address no longer works, and we found no sign the company still runs retreats in Costa Rica. The Harmony Hotel in Nosara, where its retreats were held, is still open. We've kept this article for the record.

Via Yoga was a yoga travel company based in Seattle. In Costa Rica its trips were held at the Harmony Hotel, a boutique hotel a short walk from Playa Guiones in Nosara, chosen in part for its sustainable-tourism credentials. Via Yoga's own materials quoted Yoga Journal calling it one of 9 amazing yoga destinations, in June 2008.

What the retreats were like

Retreat weeks combined daily yoga and meditation with surf lessons, healthy food, massage and free time on the beach. In 2012 Via Yoga's Costa Rica program included:

  • Fabulous and 40: a 4 night retreat for women around their 40th birthday, with 2 yoga or Pilates classes a day, morning meditation, surf lessons and a massage.
  • Digital Detox: a retreat about switching off devices and slowing down, with yoga, healthy meals and the beach.
  • Private villa stays: a version for people who wanted their own space during the retreat.
