Do I need to have practiced yoga to join?

Nope! Free To Be Yoga Retreats offers movement practices for every body. If you are feeling apprehensive or nervous to try it out, contact us. We would love to talk it through with you.

How do I get there?

Getting to Bocas del Toro is part of the adventure! You have the option to fly into either Tocumen International Airport (PTY) in Panama City or Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) in San Jose, Costa Rica.

From Panama City you can either book an 11 hour overnight bus or take a 1 hour flight from Air Panama. You will need to take a taxi or an Uber from the airport to get to the bus or the Air Panama airport. For some, the best option may be to arrive a day before, and if you do, we recommend to stay in the old part of town, Casco Viejo, where there are lots of fun restaurants and night life.

From San Jose, you can fly directly to Bocas via Sansa Regional Airline, or you can take a 10 hour shuttle (we recommend Caribe Shuttle). The shuttles usually stop for an hour in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica which is a very cute beach town and another option if you wanted to arrive a day early to check out another fun beach spot!

What should I bring with me?

A full packing list will be sent out upon booking. In the Caribbean the days are normally quite humid, but we will have a great breeze being right on the water. We recommend a good rain jacket and a waterproof bag (dry bag). We will provide all the yoga props you will need for movement.

Do you accommodate all diets?

Solarte Eco Lodge serves 3 vegetarian meals a day, and all meals can be made dairy free and gluten free.
