IN PROCESS: ORIGINAL ART: HOWLER CROSSING

1/27/2026

The Salve Monos Drumming Circle Fundraiser is tomorrow, Wednesday January 28th, and Kech is finishing up a painting that will be included in the silent auction. This is a favorite community event each year, a lot of fun, and it funds the incredible work of the Salve Monos team, who go above and beyond to care for our local wildlife. It’s free admission, so come and enjoy the fun. Several of our yoga instructors, event leaders, and healing practitioners have donated to the silent auction, and I hear there are many other items up for bid, so there are lots of opportunities to show your support between these, the merch, and the live auction for the painting that Pau Riveros will bring to life amidst the drumming. We’re looking forward to seeing everyone there!

Yoga and Barre Fitness Class Schedule Playas del Coco Costa Rica

Health, Wellness, and Art Events and Community Activities and Groups Playas del Coco Costa Rica

We’ve got two new classes lined up for Tuesdays and Thursdays in February. Gaëlle is teaching a morning Slow Flow to awaken the body and center the mind to start the day with renewed energy, and Adriana is leading Barre Fitness in the evenings for a low-impact full workout to end the day in a powerful way and rest well at night. Our other yoga classes continue–Monday and Wednesday evenings Vinyasa Yoga and Sound Healing with Gaëlle, Wednesday mornings Yoga for Clarity and Calm with Sarah, and Friday mornings Vinyasa Flow with Taylor. Taylor’s visit to Coco will come to an end this month, so get into class with her while you can. It’s been great having her back, and we’re glad she’ll be teaching a few more classes yet. We’ll miss her uplifting energy when it’s time to go, but we’re grateful to keep the Vinyasa group going with Sarah stepping in to lead starting February 27th.

We hope you’ll join the wonderful upcoming events in February. The Full Moon Circles with Raquel and Diego have been beautiful experiences with ceremony and sound, and marking each month with these inspiring rituals in community is a joy. We’ll have our second Spiritual Satsang with Vanessa diving deeper into yoga philosophy. The conversation flowed in our first circle creating a real sense of sharing and connection, and we're looking forward to this communal aspect of yoga continuing to grow, feeling the support of the sangha in our practice. There was a great group for the first Journal Circle with Sarah, and they’ll be getting together again this month to explore shadow work, bringing to light what might be buried or obscured within. Oscar is leading another Handpan Immersion Workshop; it sold out last month and everyone enjoyed the experience immensely, so we’re lucky he’s continuing to teach and make this instrument accessible. And finally, to close out the month, we have a special opportunity to learn African Dance, moving the full body with energy and expression. Please see the dedicated posts for each offering for more details, and contact the event organizers with any questions and to join the group.

Barre Fitness with Adriana Campos

1/21/2026

Comments

TUESDAYS & THURSDAYS
6:30 - 7:30 PM
FEBRUARY 3, 5, 10, 12, 17, 19, 24, 26

Inspired by ballet exercises and functional fitness training, these Barre workouts integrate coordination, balance, and breath with precise low-impact movements to build strength, stability, and endurance, and to develop body awareness and control. The routines target all areas, working arms, legs, core, and glutes to promote long, strong muscle while improving mobility, alignment, and posture. The constant conscious movement, which challenges the body without overload, supports hormonal balance, regulating stress and reducing cortisol. The sessions flow with intention and focus, creating a supportive environment that invites us to connect with our bodies, cultivate presence, and feel empowered in nurturing our wellbeing. Classes follow a clear structure–warm-up, main routine, and cool-down–with the strong beat of electronic music marking the rhythm and keeping our energy up. All levels are welcome; Adriana will guide modifications and progressions so that each person can be safe and confident no matter their abilities or needs. Classes may incorporate weights, resistance bands, exercise balls or sliders to support muscle activation and control while maintaining fluid movement. Participants may be barefoot or wear socks; please bring a mat for certain floor exercises.

Write From Within Journal Circle

1/16/2026

Comments

WITH SARAH REIMER
SATURDAY FEBRUARY 7TH
4:00 - 6:00 PM

Writing is healing. Writing brings our feelings and ideas to the forefront of our awareness, and writing unpacks or unravels whatever we’ve been holding inside. Our journal circle will begin with time to settle into our space, then Sarah will facilitate a guided meditation or mindfulness exercise to tap into the writer within. She will offer guidance and provide prompts for us to put pen to paper, but we are free to follow our own thoughts without any particular aim. Often we may be surprised with where our writing leads us.

Writing fosters connection. We will end each journal circle with time to share. While there is no pressure to share, our intention is to create a safe container for us to write and share in community, to support and hold each other through whatever comes up in our journaling. This circle is open to anyone seeking connection, reflection, and clarity. We hope to bring a group together on a monthly basis, each month centered around a different theme or topic. This month we will explore parts of our inner world that may go unnoticed or unspoken, directing awareness to hidden or unconscious aspects of the self. With compassion, our writing will illuminate the shadow side within.

Handpan Immersion Workshop

1/12/2026

Comments

WITH OSCAR CORDERO
SATURDAY FEBRUARY 14TH
10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

The Handpan, or Hang Drum, a modern, melodic percussion instrument, is played with light touch of the hands and fingers. Known for its resonant, harmonic, and relaxing sound, its note fields are tuned precisely to a specific musical scale. This immersive workshop designed for beginners presents a portal to a unique musical journey. We will dedicate time to technique for precise touch to achieve clean, resonant tones. We will practice essential rhythms with simple fundamental patterns to create hypnotic pulsations. Then we will find our first melody, integrating scale and rhythm to play with confidence a short, graceful song. Many people consider playing and listening to the Handpan a therapeutic experience. The way multiple tones sound simultaneously creates a rich, enveloping sonic texture, both pleasing and complex, which captivates our attention promoting meditative relaxation. Playing the Handpan is an intuitive expression, which allows musicians of all levels to enter easily into states of flow.

Contact Oscar to join. Spaces are limited to ensure a quality personalized experience.

SPANGLISH SOULS CLUB

WITH RAQUEL SOLÍS
SUNDAY JANUARY 18th
5:00 - 7:30 PM

In Spanglish Souls Club English- and Spanish-speakers come together to connect on a soul level and practice language naturally through mindfulness circles, interrelational exercises, intentional experiences, and human encounters. It is not a language class; each meeting will have a different activity and dynamic through which we can participate with our learning language and create genuine bonds.

In our inaugural meeting, we will create a space with care and presence to:

Move our bodies consciously;
Breathe and release tension;
Speak our authentic perspectives;
Play with language free from embarrassment;
Listen and be heard;
And share a mindful snack.

If you live in Playas del Coco and want to practice your conversational Spanish or English in an immersive environment without pressure, or if you feel called to share your language skills and convene with like-minded souls, join Spanglish Souls Club to speak from the heart and learn language in a natural and human way. Here, language is not about perfection, it's about connection.

Spanglish Souls Club English Spanish Immersion practice around real activities with Raquel Solis Playas del Coco Costa Rica

Special price for the first meeting: $15 includes materials and a mindful snack. Limited spaces available for an intimate group; write to Raquel to join. +506 6211 1104
