Tamarindo is a beautiful surf beach town on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica (Central America). The weather is warm year long, with occasional showers during the rainy season.
Yoga Ashram Costa Rica is a beautiful retreat center in the mountains, close to the town and beach of Tamarindo (10 min drive or 30 min walk). Designed by Eco-conscious principles, boutique with an intimate size of participants in each retreat, it was created as a blend of East and West, offering the traditional Ashram spiritual atmosphere, with the modernized comforts and experience.

Matea Zajec began her yoga journey at a young age, practicing bhakti-yoga, meditation, and asana. When she was a child, she suffered from various illnesses, until her mother found Ayurveda and she was quickly cured. That turned Matea, and her mother Adriana, towards a new path, and her mother became an Ayurvedic specialist, and later a doctor. Matea assisted her mother in her healing center from a young age.
In college, Matea lived in an ashram, rising early for meditation and practicing Seva, or selfless service, while studying ancient yogic texts and theology books. She graduated with a degree in Eastern Religions and Philosophy, and has been teaching yoga history, Bhagavad-Gita and Yoga Sutras in teacher trainings for years.
After years as a yoga teacher, she founded Hari OM Yoga & Wellness, aiming to offer the beautiful teachings of yoga and Ayurveda to the world. Matea is an E-RTY 500, and holds a 200hr certification in Vinyasa yoga, a 200hr certification in Anusara Yoga (both from prominent US-based Yoga schools), 300hr certification in Hatha Yoga and Ayurveda (from Rishikesh, India yoga school). She is also an Aerial and SUP yoga teacher, Tibetan singing bowl sound healer, Ayurvedic practitioner, Jyotish Vedic astrologer, Meditation teacher and Reiki master.
Matea is the lead teacher in the 200hr Yoga & Ayurveda
I recently completed the 100 hour yoga teaching and Ayurvedic training while staying in their newly built “tree house”. The ashram is located in the jungle just outside of Tamarindo town center – It’s a 40 minute walk to the beach but don’t fret, they have a pool on the property, which provides a convenient and fun option to cool down during the day. Even when at the beach I found myself excited to return to the quiet serenity of the jungle, which surprised this water lover.
Matea and Acyuta have designed a thoughtful and holistic approach to teacher training. I was pleasantly surprised that we started practice teaching on the first day! By the time I left the course, I was able to confidently create and teach a 30 minute sequence.
I came with the intention of deepening my practice, but left having fallen in love with teaching. Each moment of the day was filled with learning – Matea, Acyuta and Ada are a fountain of knowledge. No matter where you find yourself, this ashram has a special ability to bring knowledge and love into your life. I’m incredibly grateful for this experience and highly encourage anyone to take a course with Hari Om!
Taking my yoga teacher training at Hari OM was the most transformative experience of my life. My instructor Matea is full of knowledge and wisdom. She is an incredible instructor who wants all her students to succeed. I feel confident in my ability to teach classes because of all the practice this training offers. My favourite aspect of the course was learning yogic philosophy and Ayurveda. I’m forever grateful to be apart of the Hari OM family.
I thoroughly enjoyed my YTT with Matea and felt like the material was covered extensively. I feel prepared to begin my teaching career and am forever grateful to Hari Om!
