Yoga, the word brings many different images to the minds of different people. Many people will think of awkward stretches done by impossibly flexible people. Some will imagine Buddhists in an incense filled room, sitting cross legged and chanting. Others still will picture a gym filled with housewives, gossip and juice bars. If allowed to expand on their thoughts, each of these will eventually find an underlying similarity. The one thing that almost everyone associates with yoga is peace, serenity, tranquility, relaxation. What could be a more perfect place to learn to practice yoga than a beautiful beach at the edge of a thriving rain forest? Find your own inner peace at a yoga retreat in Costa Rica!
