Volunteers’ benefits:
Volunteering here is a great way to immerse yourself into three worlds simultaneously.
- 1. You get to help side by side with our local team. You will get to practice your Spanish and experience the Pura Vida.
- 2. Being a yoga retreat, you will be immersed in yoga for the length of time that you stay here.
- 3. You are immersed in a jungle paradise. Blue Osa is located right next to the Corcovado National Park, which is said to contain 2.5% of all the earth’s bio diversity.

Volunteers Benefits
In yogic philosophy, being a volunteer, or offering service, is one of the highest forms of yoga practice. The Sanskrit word for volunteering is “seva”. Seva basically means to offer service and to do so mindfully with non-attachment.
In deep gratitude for offering service to Blue Osa and our community, our promise is to provide:
- Upon your arrival and departure, ground transportation to and from Puerto Jimenez
- 3 healthy delicious meals daily
- Private accommodations in our staff quarters
- Yoga classes when offered.
