Vida Asana Yoga School and Learning Center


Vida Asana is a peaceful, family-owned retreat center run by Sean and his daughter Julep, tucked between the jungle and the ocean in Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica. Just 90 minutes from San José Airport (SJO) and minutes from Jacó, it offers the perfect mix of quiet retreat and easy access to beaches, excursions, restaurants, and shopping. More than just a yoga center, Vida Asana is a supportive space for rest, renewal, and inner exploration—come get lost in nature, and let the Vida Asana family take care of the rest.

History of Vida Asana

Vida Asana was created in 2002 and was one of the first yoga retreat centers on the Pacific coast. In 2012, Sean bought Vida Asana to create and expand the vision. With Sean’s history as a professional cyclist, he intended to turn Vida Asana into a destination for mountain bike enthusiasts to explore the many trails in the area. But fate had other plans, and the peace and temperament of yogis and the yoga lifestyle quickly won him over! He has since taken his 200-hour yoga teacher training and is continuing to build his practice. Though Vida Asana does offer a variety of retreat focuses, from mountain biking to jiu-jitsu, yoga is still the most popular.

Vida Asana is deeply committed to community involvement and support. While engaging in many activities that support and unite the community at large, we directly support Waves of Harmony, created out of a vision to provide therapeutic yoga retreats to parents who have lost a child.
