For Costa Rica trainings, the closest airport is generally Liberia, Guanacaste (LIR). San José (SJO) is also possible, but it is farther from the Tamarindo/Guanacaste area.
More detailed Costa Rica travel advice, packing suggestions, and shuttle guidance are sent in your pre-arrival emails.
In the weeks before training, begin or continue a steady rhythm of yoga, meditation, breath awareness, journaling, or mindful study. The training is immersive, and arriving grounded will help you receive more from the experience.
You do not need to be perfect or advanced. Come sincere, open, curious, and willing to learn.
Hari OM trainings are designed as immersive learning experiences rooted in yoga, Ayurveda, mindful living, and community. Our intention is to create a supportive ashram-inspired environment where students can study deeply, practice sincerely, and grow personally as well as professionally.
The experience can be full and transformational. There will be study, practice, group discussion, personal reflection, and practical teaching or integration work depending on your course. There will also be time to rest, connect with nature, and integrate what you are learning.
Our trainings and retreats are smoke-free, substance-free, and meat-free. We ask everyone to arrive with kindness, humility, respect, and willingness to participate in a shared learning community.
