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.

About the facilitator:
Micaela Ribeiro is a dancer and teacher of dance and body expression from Uruguay. Born into a family of artists, musicians, and dancers, she grew up immersed in an artistic environment that inspired her from a very young age. Since childhood, she discovered the transformative power of dance, a discipline that has been a constant in her life and has allowed her to share its healing and expressive potential with others.
Her training includes various disciplines such as classical, contemporary, folk, and urban dance. These techniques have been fundamental to her artistic development, allowing her to connect with different expressions and styles of movement. Her versatile approach and passion for the art of movement have led her to explore and fuse various forms of dance throughout her career.
Two years ago, Micaela decided to move to the surroundings of Tamarindo, a place full of nature and energy, where she continued sharing her passion for dance. Since then, she has had the privilege of teaching the local community, offering workshops and classes for people of all ages, from children to adults. Her main goal is to guide each of her students to find their own path in movement and discover the benefits that dance brings to both the body and the soul.
With over 8 years of experience as a teacher, Micaela continues to explore and learn about the world of movement. For her, dance is much more than a discipline; it is an essential tool for physical, emotional, and creative well-being. She considers it a universal language that connects us with ourselves and others, filling us with life and energy.
“I am grateful to continue sharing this passion for dance, convinced that it is one of the most powerful ways to heal, express, and connect.”

Join us on Saturday, August 3rd, for this New Moon gathering.
The purpose of this experience is to meet in a safe space to allow the internal processes each of us is going through.
We will discuss the energies of the New Moon and seek to set an intention to integrate it through meditation exercises, free movement, and dance.
This gathering is for those who feel the desire to delve into their personal process through astrology, meditation, and movement.
The session will be guided in Spanish.
WHAT IS ASTROLOGY IN MOVEMENT?
Astrology in Movement is a space that opens for us to meet under the energy of the New Moon in Leo, not only to share astrological information about what is happening in the sky but also to open ourselves to resonance and listening, and to pass it through the body through free movement and body expression.
Each New Moon is an opportunity to restart a path. These are “seed” moments where we can plant with intention and from the body what we seek to manifest and materialize.
LEO is the second fire sign of the zodiac. It represents a rebirth of what we have been nurturing and caring for inside. It starts a season of coming out of our shell a bit and meeting our new versions. Who we are beyond our place of belonging, in search of confidence and awareness of our own individuality.
We invite you to discover this version, recognize it, and open up to all it has to show. Let’s welcome it together.
WHAT TO BRING:
Something to write with, water, and your mat to sit on. If you don’t have one, you can use one from the studio. In that case, please bring a large cloth to place over it.
If you have your natal chart or your birth details (date, exact time, and place of birth), send them at least 48 hours before the gathering to receive extra information and delve deeper into your process.
ABOUT THE FACILITATOR:
Melisa Cittadella is a Yoga instructor and astrologer. After several years of traveling through Latin America and learning different tools, she decided to settle in Tamarindo, Costa Rica, to share all she has learned and open it to the community. For her, gatherings governed by the energy of the moon are a perfect space to create and expand this community and meet in the same resonance.

In February, Ser Om Shanti is once again opening its doors to Lic. Daniela Gasparín, Osteopath and Physiotherapist.
During this visit, Daniela invites us to participate in weekly classes of CORRECTIVE POSTURAL HYPOPRESSIVE GYMNASTICS and BODY UNLOCKING AND FLEXIBILITY classes.
All classes will be conducted exclusively in Spanish.
CORRECTIVE POSTURAL HYPOPRESSIVE GYMNASTICS classes will take place on Mondays and Thursdays from 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm, starting on Monday, February 5th, and concluding on Monday, February 26.
BODY UNLOCKING AND FLEXIBILITY classes will consist of 4 sessions on Fridays, from 6 pm to 7:30 pm. The first session, on Friday, February 2, will be an open and free class 
WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Corrective Postural Hypopressive Gymnastics combines strength with flexibility, using hypopressive breathing.
The main objective of this breathing technique is to tone the transverse abdomen and pelvic floor, stabilizing the lower back and pelvis, providing proper visceral support, and repositioning the diaphragm muscle. This improves the alignment of the head with the chest and pelvis.
Benefits of this Gymnastics include:
. Improving posture and alignment of limbs.
. Creating an abdominal-lumbar belt.
. Rehabilitating abdominal diastasis (hernias in the abdominal wall).
. Reducing the development of lumbar discopathies, hernias, wear and tear, and compressions of the lower limb joints by reducing cavity pressure.
. Improving venous and lymphatic return.
. Reducing the load on the plantar surface of the foot.
. Preventing pelvic floor dysfunctions by toning its musculature (prolapses, incontinence, arousal, and orgasm, etc.).
. Aiding in postpartum or immediate and delayed cesarean recovery.
. Improving visceral function by generating circulatory pumping, benefiting organ mobility and support.
Body Unlocking and Flexibility classes are designed for individuals engaged in various disciplines (surfing, gym workouts, soccer, tennis, cycling, etc.) who perceive themselves as “stiff” or suffer from contractures, tensions, and body blocks associated with their training.
In these classes, participants will:
. Release accumulated tensions.
. Improve joint ranges and muscle elasticity essential for increasing strength and endurance.
. Learn variations of analytical and chain exercises for warm-up, post-training, or competition.

“Astrology and Life Cycles” – an experiential workshop, exploring through visualizations, theory, and movement.
ASTROLOGY is a way of looking at the world and our own lives through a symbolic language. It helps us cultivate sensitivity to a circular, cyclical, interconnected perspective, allowing us to observe the magic happening within our own natal code.
🪐 In this workshop, we will open ourselves to understanding the energy of the Zodiac Signs as parts of a process, a cycle, and recognize ourselves as part of it. Thus, realizing that life doesn’t happen to us; we ARE life. We will gain a deeper understanding of our own vibration, bringing clarity to certain blind spots within ourselves.
🌔 The PURPOSE of this experience is to inspire you to integrate a new self-awareness tool into your lives through the symbolic language proposed by astrology.
🪐 WHO IS THIS WORKSHOP FOR?
🌖 The workshop will be guided only in Spanish. No prior knowledge is required.
🌌 WANT TO RECEIVE YOUR NATAL CHART?
With your natal chart, you can discover your 3 main signs/energies and enhance the information you’ll receive in the workshop. By registering in advance, you can share your birth information (place, date, and time), and Melisa will digitally send you your natal chart. If you don’t know your birth time, don’t worry. With just your birth date, the zodiac can open up to you and tell you a beautiful story. The time provides extra information but is not mandatory for this workshop. Important: To receive your natal chart, it is necessary to register for the workshop in advance and secure your spot with payment. It won’t be possible to send the natal chart to those who register on the same day as the workshop.
WHAT TO BRING: Something to take notes, water, and your mat to sit on. If you don’t have one, you can use one from the studio. In that case, please bring a large towel to place on it.

KIDS YOGA AND MINDFULNESS
Through games, stories, art therapy, and mindful movement, we will guide children in the practice of Yoga and mindfulness. We will explore different postures, breathing techniques, and relaxation methods such as tapping, and delve into meditation to connect with inner peace and emotional balance.
With 11 years of experience teaching Yoga to children, Wendy has designed her own holistic program called “Roots and Wings.”
In each workshop, Wendy proposes the creation of an intention, which will then be worked on through reflection on a topic related to the practice of mindfulness. Through specific games and activities, they will discover how to bring that intention into their daily lives.
Children will learn psychophysical exercises, as well as breathing and relaxation techniques, in a safe and loving environment.

HONORING THE TRANSFORMATION
During the equinoxes, light and darkness find balance.
Day and night are of equal duration.
Like the solstices, they are cosmic gateways that mark the beginning of the different seasons of the year.
This equinox marks the beginning of Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere, and in Costa Rica specifically, it signifies the onset of the heaviest rainy season and the harvest of ripe fruits.
These rhythms of nature directly correspond to human rhythms.
For this reason, we invite you to tune in together with the pulse of life, honoring the transformation and reflections that this time of maturity brings.
We’re creating a space of community and support with Marian Paniagua @joy_of_life_costarica, who will lead a Cacao Ceremony, Diego Lucas @fuegosalvatierra, who will share harmony through the strings of his guitar, and Larissa Granda Hernández @yosoycantosagrado, who will guide the singing circle, so that together we can gift each other the expression of the heart through our voices.

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!

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!!!
