Welcome to coco yoga & wellnessPlease note that we have closed the Plaza Nino studio space to focus on building our new beachfront yoga shala. You may read more details about the decision to close on the blog, where we'll post as well updates about our progress in building. For now, if you are looking for yoga offerings in the Playas del Coco area, we recommend connecting with other local service providers. We appreciate your understanding around our decision, and your patience as we create and build. We look forward to welcoming you soon into a new beautiful and supportive health and healing space. You may continue practice with Teagan virtually on the blog and social media as she shares prompts for contemplative yoga practice applying Yoga Philosophy in Anti-Racism activism, and you may connect with other Coco Yoga & Wellness team members and community members in the Facebook Coco Yoga Community forum.

Our Story
|
Coco Yoga & Wellness began in July 2018 when Teagan Patell de Valverde (Impulso Sano Yoga & Wellness Center) and Miranda Abbott-Wittman (My Yoga with Miranda), with the support of their respective husbands Kendall "Kech" Valverde and Joshua Wittman, combined forces to offer yoga, dance, arts, and therapeutic bodywork in the Playas del Coco Community. After partnering for six months at the My Yoga with Miranda studio space, Coco Yoga & Wellness launched officially in January 2019. After another eleven months of valuable teamwork supporting each other, learning from one another, and synergizing their offerings, the partnership dissolved in November 2019 with Miranda and Joshua's shifting focus to family and furthering Ninos del Sol Eco School.
Teagan and Kendall continue to operate Coco Yoga & Wellness, but felt called to close the Plaza Nino rented studio location after January 2020 to follow their hearts and give their all to create a new beachfront yoga shala. Although there is sadness in closing this community center for now, we are fortunate that so many others in Playas del Coco and the surrounding areas continue with classes and offerings for our community to join together around yoga, arts, health, and wellness. We are grateful for this opportunity to align with our passion project propelling this exciting time of transition and growth, and we look forward to what's ahead on the horizon and what beauty will unfold. In response to Michelle Cassandra Johnson's open invitation to radicalize yoga to create a just world, Teagan has been developing the Yamas and Niyamas Activism Model, which she began sharing in June 2020 and will continue to develop through mid-August. She hopes that this model will resonate with others and take root to be incorporated into common teaching around practical application of yoga philosophy for social activism. As Teagan and Kendall are expecting their first child at the end of August, they will be retreating from public work to dedicate their energies to family, and direct their efforts to creating the new yoga shala. |
