Yoga lovers will definitely not want to miss the National Yoga Festival in Costa Rica in April.
The capital city of San Jose, Costa Rica will host the 7th annual National Festival of Yoga from April 16 to 19, 2015 at the National Culture Center (CENAC). The festival is promoted by the Costa Rican Association of Yoga Teachers (ASOYOGA) to spread the practice of yoga throughout Costa Rica.

After the festival, you should escape to the beach to one of Costa Rica’s hotspots for yoga and surfing – Santa Teresa Beach. Famous for yoga, some of the best surfing in Costa Rica and spectacular Pacific Ocean sunsets, the friendly beach town of Santa Teresa, Costa Rica is the place to go for Costa Rica yoga retreats.
