Class Details

We’re very excited to introduce Nosara, Costa Rica as Via Yoga’s newest retreat location and Sandra Tedeschi, a Nosara local, as one of our Instructors. Sandra teaches a Vinyasa flow, synchronizing the asanas, or poses with the breath creating a rhythmic flow. Days will begin with a mid morning surf lesson led by local instructors, a perfect opportunity to experience the thrill of catching your first wave. After surfing, enjoy a relaxing lunch by the pool, take a walk on the beach, or explore the charming community of Nosara. The afternoon wraps up with a two-hour yoga class in an open-air yoga studio surrounded by tropical gardens. It’s about the integration of mind, body and breath with a focus on improved flexibility, balance and strength to build and maintain a healthy body. You will quickly see the synergy between yoga and surfing and be able to fully feel the flow in each. Practicing yoga and surfing immersed in the magical energy of Costa Rica’s pura vida naturally leaves one blissfully relaxed and lifted with inspiration. All levels welcome.

About Sandra

We are very excited to partner with Sandra to offer yoga and surf retreats in Nosara, Costa Rica. Sandra has been practicing yoga for over twelve years and teaches a Vinyasa Flow style with influences from Anusara yoga which she currently studies. She received her advanced teacher training in interdisciplinary Yoga from the Nosara Yoga Institute and is certified with the internationally recognized Yoga Alliance. In her classes she creates a welcoming and nurturing environment with focus on the balance between the playfulness and intensity of practice. She greatly values the magical, calming and soul-shifting experience of practicing yoga immersed in the surroundings of Nature.

Prior to settling in Costa Rica, Sandra worked several years in South Asia, Africa and US cities in the humanitarian aid field. From her experiences working in often high paced and pressured work environments she learned the great value of a yoga practice to maintain balance in daily living. She received a university degree in Foreign Language & International Trade and a Masters in International Public Health and Development. Sandra fell in love with Costa Rica after her first visit in 1993 and have traveled extensively throughout the Country since.
