200hr Yoga Teacher Training
(Yoga Alliance Accredited Yoga Teacher Training)
June 12th – 26th 2027
An Immersion in Nature, Self-Discovery, and Transformation on Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula
Join yoga teacher trainer Jacqueline Chiodo for an extraordinary 13-night, 14-day immersion in one of the most biologically diverse places on Earth.
Nestled within the lush rainforest of Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula, adjacent to the legendary Corcovado National Park, this intimate and exclusive hybrid training offers far more than a traditional yoga certification. It is an invitation to step away from a world that constantly overstimulates the senses, distracts the mind, and taxes the nervous system, and return to the wisdom of nature, the practice of yoga, and your authentic self.
Over the course of two transformative weeks, you will be immersed in daily yoga, meditation, philosophy, self-inquiry, and experiential learning, all while being guided by the rhythms of the rainforest. Monkeys call from the canopy, tropical birds provide the soundtrack to your practice, and the jungle itself becomes one of your greatest teachers.
What's Included
- Comprehensive 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Immersion culminating in a Yoga Alliance-accredited 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Certificate.
- Eco-luxury accommodations at Copa de Arbol Beach & Rainforest Resort in your choice of a private or shared villa, surrounded by pristine rainforest and ocean views.
- All-inclusive dining featuring three fresh, chef-prepared meals daily, plus coffee, tea, and snacks throughout your stay. (We happily accommodate dietary restrictions and preferences.)
- A curated group adventure experience during your stay, designed to connect you more deeply with the natural beauty of the Osa Peninsula. (Tour details and itinerary will be provided by Jackie prior to arrival.)
- Daily yoga, meditation, philosophy, and experiential learning designed to deepen your understanding of yoga both on and off the mat.
- A transformational immersion that supports personal growth, self-discovery, and meaningful connection with a like-minded community.
- The knowledge, confidence, and practical teaching skills to either deepen your personal practice or begin your journey as a certified yoga instructor.
The Experience
This training is rooted in a simple yet profound understanding:
Nature and yoga are not separate.
Both guide us back to presence. Both remind us of our connection to all living things. Both invite us to listen more deeply, move more consciously, and live more fully.
As the days unfold, you may find yourself slowing down, breathing more deeply, sleeping more soundly, and experiencing a profound sense of belonging, not only to the natural world around you, but to yourself.
Whether you intend to become a yoga teacher, deepen your personal practice, reconnect with your purpose, or simply answer a call that has been quietly stirring within you, this experience offers a rare opportunity to learn, heal, awaken, and grow within a supportive community of fellow travelers.
About Jacqueline Chiodo
Led by Jacqueline Chiodo, who has guided trainings and retreats throughout Costa Rica and around the world for more than two decades, this inaugural training at the beautiful Copa De Arbol Beach & Rainforest Resort promises to be an unforgettable journey of transformation, connection, and discovery.

Weddings and Honeymoon FAQs
A small luxury eco-resort Copa De Arbol is specifically designed and located to cater to the traveler seeking an “off-the-beaten-path” rainforest and ocean experience. The resort is accessed by boat only, with wet beach landings that can be challenging at times. We also remind guests that we are in the jungle – which means there is a lot of wildlife, some dangerous, most magnificent. Copa De Arbol is a total escape from the outside world. Once you arrive, you will be immersed in your own private, tropical wilderness – no roads, cars, discos, shopping malls or supermarkets. Just you, the ocean, the wildlife, and the rainforest. Are you ready to escape?
PASSPORT
All foreign citizens entering Costa Rica must have a passport that is valid for at least six months after the date they leave the country. Citizens of the United States, Canada and many other countries do not need visas to enter Costa Rica. Citizens of countries other than the United States, Canada and the European Economic Community should check with the nearest Costa Rican Embassy or Consulate.
FLYING
Most flights into Costa Rica fly into Juan Santamaria International Airport (SJO). The airport is located 20 kilometers from central San Jose. Another international airport in Liberia is also an option and it is located further north in Guanacaste.
Depending on your arrival time to SJO, you may have to spend the night in San Jose and catch a connecting flight to Drake Bay the next day. If your flight arrives in the early morning you may be able to make a connecting flight the same day. Keep in mind that baggage, customs and immigration could take up to an hour or more (although it is usually quite fast).
We can recommend a hotel for your overnight in San Jose as well as arrange a taxi to pick you up from your international flight.
AIRPORT
For international flights, it is recommended that you arrive at the airport 2 hours prior to departure as you will have to pay the departure tax of $28USD, verify paperwork, and deal with baggage inspection in addition to regular check-in procedures.
TIPPING
Restaurant: As an all-inclusive resort, our restaurant staff is not dependent on tips from our Cabina guests for the meals served, That said, if the service was extra attentive, feel free to tip. A 10% gratuity, as well as a 13% state tax, will be added to all extras such as sodas, cocktails and food sold in the restaurant, which is the standard throughout Costa Rica.
Hotels: Customary tipping protocol applies to luggage handling and housekeeping. Luggage is typically $1 per bag, more if there are stairs or a bit of a walk. $1/day is a good guideline for housekeeping, more if there are more than 2 people, or if you are particularly untidy.
You will be able to include and pay for any staff tips with your final checkout, though US dollars are always welcome as tips.
MONEY MATTERS
We accept US dollars, Costa Rican colones, and most credit cards for all payments at the resort. We do not accept travelers’ checks.
There are no ATMs in Drake Bay, and your last opportunity to exchange or withdraw cash will be at the airport in San Jose unless you are traveling to other parts of the country prior to your trip to Drake Bay.
In most small towns as well as throughout San Jose you will find Costa Rican banks with ATM machines.
