world through yoga and inspirational experiences in nature.
We invite people to
explore their inner and outer world with
child-like curiosity and wonder. At Pavones Yoga Center we
dream of helping people find contentment from within,
whether through yoga, six-hour surf session, or jungle-walking
meditations, because we believe happy people make for a
happier, healthier planet. All of our programs encourage
self-discovery as a path toward integration and wellbeing.

FOOD
At Pavones Yoga Center our goal is provide delicious, fresh, conscious
food that energizes and brings out the clarity inherent within all of
us. Our retreat and yoga teacher training menus are created with this goal
in mind. Our chefs strive to thoughtfully and mindfully creates unique
dishes using organic and local ingredients sourced within Costa Rica. Our
menu is primarily vegetarian and is occasionally accompanied by carefully
selected fresh fish and other sustainable protein sources. The food is
simple yet flavorful, nutritionally dense and always prepared with
love. Our chefs cater to food sensitivities and allergies and are happy to
fulfill special requests.
Known for his big smile and helpful heart, our chef Jan Paul has now
become quite well-known for his raw desserts including a to-die-for
raw mudslide pie, coconut creme pie, and bliss balls. JP not only creates
delicious, healthy food but takes the time to soak and sprout
as well as dehydrate in order to optimize digestibility, enzyme content and
flavor. The range of possibility in JP’s kitchen includes raw sushi made
with sweet beet almond pate alongside a daikon salad, typical Costa Rican
dishes such as ‘gallo pinto’ made with organic brown rice, an array of
green salads made with fresh, locally grown herbs and handcrafted dressings, homemade pestos, raw macaroons made with local
cacao, fresh pressed juices and smoothies created with seasonal fruit and
vegetables.

Accommodations
The rooms at Pavones Yoga Center are not equipped with televisions,
Wi-Fi, or telephones. We like to think of your time with us as a
chance to unplug. To enter a period of “digital-detox.” Most people
find that, while the simplicity of life without modern technology
may be challenging at first, there is a subtle and delicate quality of
inner contentment and peace that permeates your time at Pavones
Yoga Center. This is ultimately aided by slowing down to nature’s
schedule and would be difficult to achieve amidst the faster pace of
twenty-first-century plug-in amenities.
All rooms have either a king-sized bed with orthopedic mattress (for
couples), or twin beds. All rooms have ceiling fans. Air conditioning
is optional although most people find the ceiling fans and large
wrap-around windows provide the perfect climate. Air conditioning
is not provided during yoga teacher training programs. It is included
during any of our yoga and yoga-surf retreats.
About the town
Pavones is a serenely magical village, dipped in honey. Stepping out of time, one enters a land forgotten by the
industrial age, where the horse is as likely a form of transportation as any. Located at the southern entrance to the
Golfo Dulce (“Sweet Gulf ”) on the pristine southern Pacific coast of Costa Rica, Pavones is a quaint, charming, and
traditional Costa Rican town. The lives led in this village are simple, and mostly stress-free; except for when the
occasional horse escapes the farm to run and play along the beach with friends. It was the rugged, wild beauty of this
land with its mystical healing essence that called forth Pavones Yoga Center.
