Vinyasa Yoga involves movement from asana (yoga posture) to asana, connecting the breath to the movement. In this practice, we focus on building strength, flexibility, balance, and alignment, while cultivating mindfulness.
AcroYoga is a combination of partner yoga, acrobatics, and thai massage. If you can do a yoga class, you can do AcroYoga!! We'll teach you step by step how to transform your practice into flying and thai'ing. It is both therapeutic and fun! All levels are welcome. Modifications and adjustments will be provided for differing levels and different physical needs, making this practice accessible to yoga practitioners of all levels. In addition to group yoga classes, for an additional cost you can sign up for a private yoga class with Kelly or Sandy, Reiki, and Thai Massage sessions. Check out some photos from our new open-air yoga studio! Ecotourism Activities |

Retreat into the rainforest with yoga instructors 
Lodging
at La Anita is in cabins built from tropical wood harvested from
trees on our plantation. They are simple and elegant,
and are constructed so that large screen windows allow the sounds,
aromas, and breezes of the rainforest to enter your home away from
home. The cabins may be configured with one king bed or two twin beds,
and each one has a private bathroom with hot water shower, ceiling fan,
small refrigerator, coffee maker, and dresser. Spacious
outdoor decks
on each cabin are the perfect place to relax 
in handmade rocking chairs
and hammocks.
La
Anita Rainforest Ranch will introduce you to delicious tropical fruit
and foods you will never forget! Retreat meals are prepared at the
ranch by women from the village and served family-style. The meals are
creative variations on traditional Costa Rican cuisine, made with
plenty of organic produce grown at La Anita.
Most
fruits and vegetables are picked right out of our organic garden.
As part of the retreat experience you will have the option to
learn to
prepare some of these exotic dishes (such as heart of palm ceviche) so
you can impress your friends and family when you return home.
Vegetarian options are always available and we can accommodate other
dietary needs upon request.
The chance to witness a tropical rainforest
shower from within the comfort of your cabin is truly a once in a
lifetime experience. The temperature is very pleasant (70s to
80s)
during the day and cooler in the evenings.
The
Rincón de la Vieja National Park, adjacent to La
Anita
Rainforest Ranch, contains more biodiversity than all of North America.
Toucans, tanagers, and many species of
hummingbirds visit the deck, yoga studio, garden, and cabins daily. Monkeys patrol
the surrounding forest and provide a unique audio
background. Other mammals including the pizote (coatimundi), guatusa
(agouti), danta (tapir), puma, ocelot, and jaguar roam the forests
surrounding the ranch.
