Your 2026 Yoga for Golfers® Retreat Awaits
Say Goodbye to Winter, Hello to Pura Vida
After months of chilly Calgary winters, imagine swapping snow boots for sandals and crisp mountain air for tropical ocean breezes. Our 2026 Yoga for Golfers® retreat in Costa Rica offers exactly that, a chance to recharge your body and mind in paradise. This isn’t just a vacation; it’s a transformative experience designed to enhance your golf game through targeted yoga, mobility work, and mindful movement.
Set against the stunning backdrop of Costa Rica’s Pacific coast, this retreat combines sunshine, sand, and science-backed movement strategies that will leave you feeling stronger, more balanced, and ready to take your golf swing to the next level. Whether you’re a seasoned golfer or new to the sport, this retreat is crafted to meet you where you are and elevate your performance in a supportive, fun environment.
Sunshine, Sand, and the Science of Movement
Golf is much more than just hitting a ball. It’s a complex, full-body movement that demands strength, stability, and flexibility. Central to a powerful and consistent golf swing is a strong core, which acts as the engine for rotation and balance. Research shows that a well-conditioned core not only boosts your swing power but also helps prevent common injuries like lower back pain and hip strains.
Our retreat focuses on exercises that target the abdominals, lower back, glutes, and deep stabilizing muscles such as the obliques. These muscles work together to stabilize your spine, maintain posture, and generate the rotational power needed for a smooth, repeatable swing. By integrating yoga poses and mobility drills tailored specifically for golfers, you’ll build a foundation that supports both your game and your overall wellness.

Golf Swing Analysis: From Cochrane to Costa Rica
TPI® Methods: Why Proper Assessment Matters, Even on Vacation
Understanding your unique swing mechanics is crucial to making lasting improvements. That’s why we incorporate Titleist Performance Institute (TPI®) assessments into the retreat. These evaluations identify your strengths and areas for improvement, focusing on mobility, stability, and movement patterns that impact your golf swing.
Even while on vacation, this personalized approach ensures that your practice is targeted and effective, helping you make meaningful progress that carries over to your home course in Cochrane or Calgary and beyond.
Personalized Tips You’ll Actually Remember Post-Retreat
Forget generic advice that gets lost after a few weeks. Our team provides clear, actionable tips tailored to your body and swing. By combining TPI® insights with yoga and mobility training, you’ll leave with a personalized toolkit designed to keep your game sharp and your body healthy.
These strategies are easy to integrate into your daily routine, helping you maintain the benefits of the retreat long after you’ve returned to Calgary.
Balance, Mobility, & Mindfulness: The Par72 Approach
Core Focus: Strong Foundation, Effortless Power
The core is the powerhouse of your golf swing. It stabilizes your spine, supports rotation, and generates the force behind every shot. Weak core muscles can lead to compensations elsewhere in the body, increasing the risk of injury and inconsistent ball striking.
Our Par72 approach emphasizes core strengthening exercises such as Bird Dog, Bridge Pose, and Half Roll-Back with Rotation. These movements improve stability, enhance coordination between your upper and lower body, and build endurance for sustained performance on the course.
Hip Mobility: The Key to Consistent Ball Striking
Hip mobility plays a pivotal role in your ability to rotate freely and maintain posture throughout your swing. Tight hips can restrict movement, leading to early release and loss of power.
Through targeted yoga sequences and mobility drills, we help you open and strengthen your hips, enabling a smoother, more controlled swing. This not only improves distance but also reduces strain on your lower back and shoulders.
Breathing Techniques for Calm on the Tee
Golf is as much a mental game as a physical one. Learning to control your breath can help reduce tension, improve focus, and maintain composure under pressure.
Our retreat incorporates breathing exercises that promote relaxation and mindfulness, empowering you to approach each shot with confidence and clarity.
