Ashtanga Yoga Mama

Be The Change!

Ashtanga Yoga Mama is a 100% female owned and operated small business. We are committed to support and provide opportunities for local female entrepreneurs here in Costa Rica. By booking a retreat with us you are providing social and economical support to female surf coaches, drivers, chefs, photographers, masseuses, bakers, cacao farmers, horse guides, bee keepers and cowgirls all of whom make up the core of this unique female driven entrepreneurial community.

Supporting a Global Cause:

We donate 10% of the profits from every group retreat to our brave friends: Yoga Stops Traffick, a worldwide campaign that unites yoga practitioners in the fight against human trafficking.

The funds we raise go directly to the Odanadi Seva Trust, an innovative anti-trafficking organisation based in Mysore, South India. Odanadi is dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and reintegrating trafficked women and children. For over 30 years, they have provided a safe haven for survivors of human trafficking, sexual exploitation, slavery, and domestic abuse. To date, they have rescued 14,332 victims.

By participating in our retreats, you are actively supporting global communities of women and helping to amplify their voices.

Our Pledge To Sustainability

We prioritise environmental respect by partnering with eco-conscious properties, minimising single-use plastics, and serving locally sourced, seasonal foods from small farms whenever possible. Most importantly, our model is built on social sustainability—we invest in local female entrepreneurs, support community-led projects, and donate 10% of our profits to Yoga Stop Traffic, ensuring our presence creates a lasting, positive impact for both people and the planet.
