CULTURE AND ITS CREATORS
YOGA AND THAI MASSAGE
with Amélina
A private yoga and Thai massage experience with Amélina, founder of Hermosa Yoga Studio in Santa Teresa.
MEET AMÉLINA
_________For Amélina, yoga began at home. Her father studied Indian philosophy and yoga in India, and she grew up in a family where spiritual curiosity and practice were part of everyday life.
Costa Rica has been her home for more than nine years. Here, she has taught private sessions at hotels and classes for surf camps, alongside founding Hermosa Yoga Studio in Santa Teresa. Her training spans Hatha, Vinyasa and Ashtanga yoga, as well as Thai massage.
Her teaching combines that lifelong connection to yoga with close attention to anatomy. She notices the small details: how you place your feet, where you hold tension, how your breath changes with effort. Her approach is structured yet adaptable, with clear guidance and time to understand each movement.

STEP INTO AMÉLINA’S WORLD
A sample rhythm for the experience. Every private day is adapted to the guests and the season.
Start by sharing your experience of yoga, how you are feeling and what you would like from your time together. Discuss your preferences around hands-on guidance before the practice begins.
Begin
Explore a sequence that brings together breath, movement and precise instruction. There is time to pause, ask questions and notice how a small change can alter the experience of a familiar posture.
Move
Continue with Thai massage, moving from active practice to a session centred on touch and individual attention.
Relax
Take a quiet moment before returning to your day, with space to talk about what you noticed during the practice.
Reflect
What you’ll leave with
Time devoted to your own practice, with individual guidance.
A closer awareness of how you move and breathe.
The experience of yoga and Thai massage with the same practitioner.
Small details to explore when you next return to the mat.
Why Amélina
Amélina pays attention to how you arrive in a posture, not simply its final shape. A familiar movement becomes something to explore: where the effort sits, how the spine moves, whether the breath remains easy.
Hands-on adjustments are an important part of her teaching, offered with your consent. Her intention is to refine a movement rather than push you further into it. Clear instruction and careful touch give you time to understand what is changing.
Her practice can be challenging, but it is never aggressive. The emphasis is on awareness, with guidance shaped around the person in front of her.
A practice beyond the mat
For Amélina, yoga has always belonged to everyday life. That connection runs through her teaching: attention to breath, consistency in practice and curiosity about the body.
Through her studio and private sessions, she shares an approach that values understanding over performance. What begins on the mat offers a way to pay closer attention to your own habits of movement.
