Is Costa Rica actually the best place to get yoga certified? So many people think it is! So many people START their yoga teacher training journey just by googling “200hr yoga teacher training Costa Rica” But why? Why do people think Costa Rica is the best and be all end all place for their yoga certification?
Mostly because… there are so many to choose from.
In the 90s and early 2000s, Costa Rica positioned itself as Eco-Friendly, safe, serene, beautiful, peaceful and above all, PURA VIDA- pure life. They identified areas of the country as blue zones, basically places where people are extra healthy and live longer due to the natural surroundings. The government sank millions into marketing to tourists with this narrative. There PR was so good that the country developed a reputation for being peaceful, inviting and perfect for yoga and yoga retreats!
Costa Rica made it super easy for foreigners to live and work there and open up businesses… so now, voila, so many yoga retreat centres and yoga teacher trainings are located in Costa Rica! It was easy to set up shop there!
But is Costa Rica REALLY the best place to get your 200hr yoga teacher training? Maybe.
Here’s the truth:
The best place to do your yoga teacher training is not Costa Rica or Bali…
The best place to do your 200hr yoga teacher training is the place with the best program, the best teachers for you and the best place to safely immerse yourself in the experience.
