I wanted to do a 200 hr yoga teacher training "someday". I figured when the kids were older and I could travel and take a month away, I'd do it then... Then the most amazing opportunity presented itself... Colynn was hosting a teacher training in Costa Rica... I worried about being the least experienced or "bendy"... Colynn teaches in such a way that you feel and understand the postures in your own body, with a focus on the functional versus aesthetic. She would remind us that the goal was not to aim for a "look" but instead to aim for the feeling. This direction lends to an atmosphere of body acceptance and makes it easier to learn. I was so focused on being in my own body that it didn't matter what I looked like compared to someone else. This was the best investment you can make in yourself!

This room is a favorite with visiting couples and solo travelers. It’s cozy and private, with incredible south-facing views of the ocean and southern Nicoya peninsula.
Prana has a queen sized bed, and is unique because it has a view of both the sunrise and the sunset… as well as a distant visa of Cabo Blanco national park, located at the southernmost tip of the Nicoya Peninsula. On a rare day, you might be able to see a rainbow down inside the valley, coming from a waterfall that’s hidden in there.
The room has air conditioning, a ceiling fan, and a large open closet that has a small desk with a gorgeous ocean view. There is also a private deck with a hammock offering a gorgeous view of the peninsula. Some of our guests have seen whales or dolphins in the ocean below in front of the Rio Montezuma rivermouth.
TESTIMONIALS
Peter has a distinct ability to read the energy of his students and therefore teaches with the right amount of guidance and instruction. The Thai massage portion was beautiful and his yoga style strong. I’m leaving his training a stronger person, feeling empowered every time I step on and off my mat grateful for all the tools I learned during the training.
Testimonial: "Amazing Yoga and Surf Retreat..."
"My friends and I just returned from a week long yoga retreat at Anamaya and I have had a difficult time finding words to describe how amazing the entire trip was!!! Not only did our retreat to Anamaya allow us to escape the stresses our daily lives (if only for a few days), but the memories with the new friends we made, the staff at Anamaya and the people of Costa Rica will remain with me forever.... The food was unbelievably fresh and good, and I have missed putting coconut milk in my coffee ever since! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!"a
Testimonial: "Anamaya has a piece of my heart. I can't wait to return to heaven on earth!"
"Upon arrival, we were immediately greeted by one of the gracious owners and the beautiful ocean, glimmering all around us. The view from the saltwater infinity pool or the yoga deck under a full moon will forever be burned in my memory... the private lodging gave us an intimate view of the sunrise over the water each morning and an equally magnificent sunset from our porch's hammock. I WILL be back and I highly suggest making Anamaya a must-do on your travel itinerary!"
Testimonial: "Breathtaking Views - Gourmet Food! - Great Staff..."
"More than just a vacation... the views are breathtaking, the food was the delicious, healthy & fresh. Seriously the best food I've ever tasted in my life... you can get whatever you're seeking from this amazing retreat....whether its complete bliss or adventure."
Testimonial: "Breathtaking Views - Gourmet Food! - Great Staff..."
"I have diet restrictions (gluten free) and the team of chefs completely took care of me - truly gluten free gourmet!!! When we were making plans to go to Costa Rica and found Anamaya we thought we might eat out a couple of nights in Montezuma. Well, after the first dinner at Anamaya we knew we didn't want to eat anywhere else. Every evening we looked forward to dinner."
Testimonial: "Stunning..."
"I feel so healthy and well taken care of after my stay at Anamaya. I wish I never had to leave! Amazing, healthy food - great rooms, great company with other guests and lots of activity. It's really a perfect getaway for the active and health conscious!"
Testimonial: "Treasure in Paradise..."
"My stay at Anamaya was the most refreshing vacation of my life... I awoke each morning for an hour of yoga on the most beautiful yoga deck with a panoramic view of the jungle and the Pacific. The rest of my days were filled with a swim in the infinity pool, zip lining, waterfall climbing, aerial silks, Zumba and surfing... the pictures do not do it justice. You cannot smell or feel the amazing vibe it has. I have booked a return trip to Anamaya in a few months. So fortunate to have stumbled upon this treasure in paradise."
Testimonial: "One of the Most Amazing Experiences of my Life..."
"I had the honor of staying at Anamaya and teaching and taking yoga for a seven day retreat. It is one of the most peaceful and tranquil places on earth. The facilities are beautiful and the view is breath-taking. Doing yoga on the open air deck facing the ocean was a dream come true. The food was excellent and the package included three meals per day with great variety. Everything home made and organic. Delicious. Relaxing by the edgeless pool or on a hammock was my favorite thing... but the best part of the experience was the staff at Anamaya. They were all wonderful and did everything to make my stay excellent..."
Testimonial: "Paradise found..."
"Doing early morning yoga on the deck that overlooks the beautiful Pacific Ocean is something I'll never forget. My mind definitely wandered more than it should during yoga as I took the amazing views. The pictures on the website do not do it justice. It's even more beautiful in person... We were very lucky and people who started the week as strangers quickly became our friends. We had many a laugh while sitting around the pool... We'll be back..."
