If you've never tried Yoga or Stand-Up Paddle, you are in for a treat. Our instructors help you feel comfortable and guides you at your pace. The benefits of SUP Yoga are many. The rise and fall of the water helps you stay more centered and deepens your own practice, as the floating board serves to help align your postures. Additionally it works to define muscles you never imagined you had or used, while it strengthens your body and tones your core.
Practicing SUP yoga at Playa Danta also lends itself to a great beach day. You can enjoy all the toys that Pura Vida Ride has to offer, such as standup paddleboard rentals, kayaks, snorkeling and mountain bikes, while taking delight in the delicious food of the Green House on the lush grounds of Las Catalinas.

Stand Up Paddle Boarding is also a great way to explore rivers or other bodies of water. There are many rivers and estuaries that feed into the beaches of Playa Grande, Avellanas, Flamingo Beach, Tamarindo, Playa Danta, and Playa Coco. You can explore these rivers on a SUP board rather than kayaking. Many tour companies will put together packages that allow you to spend some time having fun with your SUP board in the ocean and in rivers, allowing you the chance to see a variety of sealife, monkeys, iguanas, sloths, and other wildlife. SUP tours are quickly becoming one of the most popular ways to explore the waters of Costa Rica.
Another new trend of SUP Costa Rica is doing yoga on a stand up paddle board. The need for good balance and a strong core associated with yoga blends nicely with the skills needed to master stand up paddle boarding. Yoga classes are held out on the tranquil waters of the Pacific Ocean giving a whole new, exciting aspect to yoga practice. What better way to experience the calm, relaxing benefits of yoga than gently floating on the turquoise waters of the Pacific. And, after a good work out, you can hop off your SUP board and go for a swim! Visit us at or contact us.
