Blue Osa is a yoga retreat rooted in deep spiritual practice. Blue Osa was designed to help make a profound transformation simple. Whether you’re new to yoga or a seasoned yogi, Blue Osa is an oasis for deep healing and personal growth.
Blue Osa was designed to help you find stillness. We’ve designed dedicated sacred spaces throughout the property for you to reflect, relax, and renew. Walk the labyrinth, and shrines, and explore many of the private locations around the resort, created to help you move inward.
There is a saying here in Costa Rica: Pura Vida. It means full life - and at Blue Osa, they aim to give guests just that. Each of the rooms and bungalows is uniquely designed to deliver comfort, convenience, and relaxation. Whether it's heightened ocean views, a serene garden setting, or a spacious beachfront bungalow, at Blue Osa you'll find purpose-built, jungle-chic rooms that create the ideal setting for a tranquil, restorative yoga teacher training. If you are registering for the triple occupancy option, please expect to be sleeping in a king, queen, full or twin bed.

Please book your flight to arrive at Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO). From San Jose, you will fly or drive to Puerto Jimenez. You may book your local flights directly with Costa Rica’s national airline, Sansa Air, or Skyway. If you are staying overnight, you may want to consider booking with Aerobell as it is located in Pavas, which is much closer to downtown San Jose.
The Sansa/Skyways Airport terminal is about 100 meters from the International Airport. Once you exit from immigration, you take your luggage and walk left. You will exit the terminal onto the main street and then keep walking until you come to the airport.
If you need an airport transfer, you can let Blue Osa Yoga Retreat & Spa know and they'll be happy to arrange it at an extra cost. Once the shuttle request form is received, you’ll get a shuttle confirmation emailed to you.
The training immersions begin on Saturday at 3:00 p.m. and commence on the final Friday evening. This will allow for the option of a Saturday morning departure.
Blue Osa Yoga Retreat & Spa recommends arriving in Costa Rica one or two days prior to starting the immersion and would suggest arriving in Puerto Jimenez on Friday evening so as to settle into the space and enjoy your first sunrise on the beach.
Please note that should you miss hours for any reason, you will be required to make up the time prior to receiving your certification.
