Since 2002, SER OM SHANTI YOGA STUDIO has been at the heart of the community of Tamarindo, Costa Rica, offering a diversity of bilingual classes in a space of wellbeing and evolution, being the Yoga center pioneering in the area.
Our team of certified and highly qualified teachers will provide personalized modifications and individual adjustments guiding you in a safe, challenging and enriching experience, whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner.
Yoga in SER OM SHANTI YOGA STUDIO will be one of the highlights of your experience in Costa Rica. Let’s go deeper, let’s go higher!
We love to hear the feedback we get from our students. They all agree on the fact that everyone, beginners or experienced practitioners, receives individual and personalized adjustments necessary to refine their practice. This is how we create a motivating, safe, relaxing but still challenging and enriching experience…
Hatha yoga focuses on the practice of asanas (yoga postures) while being aware of breathing at all times. The rhythm of motion and breath allows the instructor to place special emphasis on construction and alignment technique…
Vinyasa means breath synchronized with movement. It emphasizes the practice of evolutionary sequences of asanas (postures), in a correct alignment coordinated with a fluid and sustained breathing.
Restorative Yoga uses props such as blocks, blankets, straps and bolsters to support the body in poses that open as we relax or rest in the pose. This allows gravity to do the work for us.
Our Yin Yoga practice is a series of passive stretching postures, mainly on the floor, held for long periods of time (2-10 minutes). We take a meditative approach to the class; encouraging the students to surrender into the pose and relax the muscles in order to access the deeper connective tissues.
Pilates is a physical fitness system, a concept that focuses training exercises in the quality of movement and precision in execution, integrating body and mind to work in concentration and conscious breathing.
Yoga Therapy sessions are fully personalized. As the instructor evaluates and learns the individual need of the student, the instructor designs a special sequence of postures applying the principles of biomechanics and understanding of physiology. The instructor will introduce the appropriate changes and adjustments to release blocked areas, correct posture and movement patterns to improve the routine of health.
The program of Yoga, Pilates and Fitness for athletes in Ser Om Shanti Yoga Studio is focused on optimizing the sporting gesture. The instructor will assist the athlete whether professional or amateur to achieve consistency, endurance and enhanced performance. After an assessment, the instructor develops a work program tailored around the goals, needs and interests of the athlete. The program is offered in preference to the student, either in a small group or individually.
The individual instructive classes are one-on-one workshops, where only you and the teacher are present. Because this is your personal experience our teacher will be intuitive and supportive in all areas of your yoga practice. Semi-private classes for groups are also available.
We also offer class packages* that allow you to save money if you plan to take more than one class.
*All of our class packages are valid for one month from the first day of use. They are non-refundable and non-transferable, for use for one person at a time, not be shared.
Q: How do I book a class? Do I need to book a class prior or can I show up a few minutes before the class and sign up then?
A: You do not need to reserve a space in our classes ahead of time. Just show up! The first time you attend a class at Ser Om Shanti Yoga Studio, we encourage you to arrive between 10 and 15 minutes early to check in, meet the instructor and get settled before the class begins.
Q: I will be in Tamarindo, just wanted to check the availability and the price?
A: (Check schedule options.)
Q: Do you offer yoga mats for the class?
A: The price includes the use of yoga mat and all of our props.

Mariel is the owner-founder and director of SER Om Shanti Yoga Studio in Tamarindo, Costa Rica and has been dedicated to teaching Yoga since 2002. She has studied in India, Indonesia, Argentina and Costa Rica, training in Hatha Yoga, Therapeutic Yoga, Raja Yoga, Anatomical Yoga, Vinyasa Flow, Pilates and Yoga Nidra. In addition to her regular Yoga and Pilates classes, she teaches in Teacher Trainings and intense master classes for Yoga instructors who like to refine their practice and improve their teaching.
Vale started her regular practice while living in New Zealand around 2008. A year later she got certified as a Yoga Instructor in Costa Rica and Mexico, and began her teaching in Tamarindo which turned out to be her hometown until today.
Meli experiments the Yoga practice as a way to deepen the connection of mind, body and soul. Her yogic path started during her trip across Latin America in 2014, where she discovered different teachers and Yoga styles and deepened the practice of meditation, energetical healing and holistic therapies. She was certified as a Yoga teacher in Guatemala in 2019 and moved to Tamarindo to teach.
Camila began practicing Pilates actively in 2022, choosing Ser Om Shanti as her training space. In 2023, she started her Pilates Mat training in Costa Rica with Balanced Body, marking the beginning of her commitment to mindful movement and holistic well-being.
In her classes, Pamela wants to inspire her students toward an authentic connection between body and mind through conscious movement, presence, and personal exploration.
Pamela discovered the practice of yoga in 2010 and has since cultivated a deep interest in the many techniques and teachings this discipline offers.
At SER OM SHANTI YOGA STUDIO we are constantly creating experiences and proposing workshops for yoga instructors and students who wish to develop awareness of their own body and alignment of postures, breathing techniques and all the more subtle aspects of the practice that allow them to raise and deepen their level.
DISSOLVING INTO SOUND: A GONG BATH EXPERIENCE Ser Om Shanti Yoga Studio warmly invites you to an evening set aside for quiet, depth, and genuine rest.
We’re honored to share a Gong Bath guided by Laura and Jerad of Pura Vida Vibrations, known for their precise and disciplined approach to sound as a tool for profound restoration.
IG: @puravidavibrations
A Gong Bath is simple.
You lie down, get comfortable, and allow the sound to meet you where you are.
There is nothing to follow, nothing to figure out.
The layers of sound unfold naturally, and over time, the body begins to soften, the breath slows, and the mind grows quiet.
In some ways, you can think of it as immersing the body in a field of therapeutic vibration, similar to how ultrasound is used in physical therapy, except here, the entire system is gently bathed in sound. Not to fix or force anything, but to support the body in returning to its own balance.
In a world that often asks us to do more, this is a space where you’re invited to do less,
to pause, to listen, and to rest in a way that is both gentle and deeply restorative.
“Where words fall away, sound begins, and the body remembers.”
You’re welcome to come exactly as you are.

Dissolving into Sound: An Inner Journey Through Frequencies Ser Om Shanti Yoga Studio invites you to a gathering that transcends the ordinary.
With open hearts, we welcome you to a Sound Journey guided by Lau and Jerad of Pura Vida Vibrations, a duo devoted to exploring the subtle power of sound as vibrational medicine.

A Sound Journey is not a concert, nor a guided meditation in the traditional sense.
It’s an immersive experience where the frequencies of gongs, voice, bowls, and harmonic instruments carry you beyond the mind.
As sound waves unfold through the space, the body comes into resonance, the mind softens, and the heart remembers its natural rhythm.
A sacred pause, to release, to listen, and to let sound realign you from within.

Give your nervous system a full night off 🎶💆♀️
A Gong Puja is basically an overnight gong bath. The gongs play quietly, non‑stop, for about 7.5 hours while you rest. Not loud or intense…more like a low, steady purr in the background.
This one is held on the winter solstice, the longest night of the year. A natural pause point for closing one season and quietly stepping into the next.
You bring a cushion or travel mattress, your favorite pillows and blankets, pajamas, and settle in for the night. Some people sleep. Some drift in and out. Some just lie there and let their body finally unclench.
All night, the sound does the work for you…helping your muscles soften, your breath deepen, and your entire system downshift out of “go mode.” By morning, most people feel lighter, clearer, and more rested than they have in a long time. 🌅✨
If you’ve been running on empty and your body’s asking for a reset, this is one night dedicated entirely to that without any substances

This course is designed to explore backbends in a progressive and conscious way, using props — bolster, blocks, belts and blankets — as tools for learning, refinement, and embodied understanding.
Our intention in the workshop is to create space from within, lengthening the spine through strength and stability in the trunk, integrating freedom of movement, conscious breathing, and a calm attitude as we gently expand our comfort zone.
The use of props makes it possible to:
• Create space and avoid compression and pain
• Enter the posture without compensation
• Allow the opening to arise from inner intelligence rather than superficial effort
• Maintain safety throughout the practice
The aim is… to create space.
– Space to breathe.
– Space to feel.
– Space for the heart to open without force.
Open to practitioners of all levels, instructors, and anyone who wishes to understand backbends through sensitivity, technique, and support.

Conscious activation of the core, shoulder girdle, arms, and legs to maintain Chaturanga with stability, control, and lightness.Alignment and technique to prevent compensations and protect the joints.Preparatory āsanas, modifications, and props to adapt the posture to your level.Breath-strength connection for a more fluid and organic practice.

We start by cultivating mindfulness and conscious breathing, grounding ourselves in the present moment.
Transitioning gracefully, we immerse ourselves in ASANAS: starting with dynamic, fluid sequences, and later dedicating focused time to explore specific postures and movements. Here, we refine alignment, hold poses, and experience their profound depths.
We finish the first 75min of practice with a deep relaxation.
At this time you can choose to end your practice or continue with us in Meditation.
We will dedicate the next 15 minutes to Pranayama and Meditative session to leave you centered and serene.
Every Sunday, we’ll delve into a unique theme and energy:
Sunday 3rd: Embark on a Sweet Journey to Hanumanasana Split.
Sunday 10th: Embrace Hip Opening Practices.
Sunday 17th: Explore the World of Twists and Backbends.
Sunday 24th: Dive into Parivrtta Janu Sirsasana with Open Arms.
Join us on Sundays as we explore the depths of yoga and self-discovery.

Without a doubt the best yoga studio in Tamarindo. I have been attending sessions here regularly for six months and I fully credit Mariel, the *genius* owner of Ser Om Shanti, with transforming my body, posture, and even my attitude. If you’re serious about your growing your yoga practice — or even just getting in touch with your body and spirit while vacationing in Tama — this is the place to go.

I have been practising with Mariel and Ser om Shanti for nearly 10 years now and it is my favourite yoga place in the world. The teachers are so brilliant- friendly, helpful and bilingual and the studio is the essence of calm. They also do gorgeous outdoor classes by the beach on certain days. The timetable is designed for both beginners and those who wish to advance their yoga journey. I can’t recommend Ser om Shanti enough! Every time I practice with Mariel, I learn something new- wonderful!

my husband and i booked a private session with Mariel. the studio is a dream, the most beautiful and peaceful I’ve seen. We’re both beginners but i must say, Mariel is the most genuine, professional and knowledgeable instructor we’ve ever has the pleasure of working with! She cares, takes her time, explains the biology of the moves & really helps with fine-tuning your posture so that each pose is done Correctly! It was a True Pleasure to meet this magical woman & I hope to go back in the near future. from the bottom of my heart, mucho gracias senora!!!

If I could only use two words, i would choose VERY PROFESSIONAL.
I was looking for a yoga teacher that would: teach me, challenge me show me my errors and correct my posture. That is exactly what i found at Ser Om Shanti studio, each teacher gives personal attention no matter how many people show up, and for me, this is the most important thing I look for in a yoga studio.
