A $1000 non-refundable deposit is required to hold your spot on the trip. The final balance payment is due by October 30, 2026. If you cancel before the final balance deadline, we will refund any payments you have made, minus the non-refundable deposit. If you do not complete the payment by October 30, 2026, the card on file will be automatically charged your remaining balance on that date to secure your space on the retreat, unless we have advised otherwise. If you register for the trip after October 30, 2026, the full payment amount is due upon registration. As stated in our Terms & Conditions, all payments are non-refundable and non-transferable after October 30, 2026. International Yoga must strictly adhere to its cancellation policy. Travel insurance is strongly recommended.

International Yoga strongly recommends the purchase of travel insurance. A personal, political, environmental, health, or weather-related incident may arise that can prevent or interrupt your travels. If you do not purchase travel insurance you will assume100% of any costs associated with the cancellation/ interruption of your retreat. 

While we cannot advise on specific travel insurance policies, we recommend looking at plans through the reputable travel insurance provider, Travelex. The FAQ section at the bottom of their website is quite helpful, and they have a number you can call as well. 

Note that to guarantee maximum coverage, most travel insurance providers require that you obtain a policy within 10 - 15 days of placing your initial deposit.

You will book your international flights into and out of Liberia International airport (Code: LIR). It takes approximately two hours to get from the airport to Blue Spirit.

No, there are no group airfares, as we will have people joining us from all over the US, with some arriving early, some arriving late, some using miles, etc. We are happy to provide guidance and review any itineraries you find. Please contact us before purchasing flights, and as always, travel insurance is strongly recommended.

Airport transfers are not included in the price of your trip, however, we will collect your arrival and departure information and coordinate transportation on your behalf. We will advise on exact costs as we get closer to departure but it is typically about $65 - $70 per person.

We get hundreds of travelers each year who go on retreat alone. If you are traveling without a friend or partner, but prefer to share your room, we will do our best to match you with another traveler of the same gender. If for some reason, we are not able to match you with a roommate, a single supplement will apply.

If you prefer to have your own private room, a single supplement will apply.

Many travelers, including citizens of the United States, Canada, Panama, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, do not require a visa to enter Costa Rica for tourism for stays of up to 90 days.

Your passport must be valid for the duration of your stay. However, to avoid any issues with airlines or immigration, we strongly recommend ensuring your passport is valid for at least six (6) months beyond your date of arrival. As entry requirements may vary depending on your citizenship, country of residence, and recent travel history, we encourage all guests to confirm the most up-to-date information with their airline and the nearest Costa Rican consulate before departure.

Your stay at the retreat center includes three delicious, consciously prepared, vegetarian meals each day. Fresh, locally caught fish will also be served a few times during the week. The daily lunch and dinner buffet includes a Pure Food Option, which offers greens, grains, and legumes without oils or seasonings. This retreat center purchases food from local farmers and organic produce when available.

There are no required vaccinations for travel to Costa Rica. However, there are some recommended vaccinations given by the CDC. To see the complete list of what is recommended, please visit the CDC Website and consult with your primary care physician to make a decision on what is best for you.  

Attendance varies from trip to trip, but 25-35 attendees is average for this trip.
