Genuine.
I did my 300-hour YTT with Pranaluz and it was absolutely amazing! Everything from asana to philosophy to meditation to the people and the place was incredible. The teachers have a wealth of knowledge but more importantly, they are loving, kind, and genuine. I wish I could go back and do it all again.

Location
Tiskita Jungle Lodge
Tiskita Jungle Lodge, the best kept secret in Costa Rica, is an ecolodge that offers the opportunity to experience pristine tropical rainforest in its 800 acre private biological reserve. Tiskita is about as remote as one can get, located at the end of the road on the secluded southwest coast of Costa Rica.
Our 15 Casitas surround the Lodge and are nestled in the jungle allowing our guests to experience the robust amount of wildlife all from the comfort of your front porch hammock. Guests constantly report spotting titi and capuchin monkeys, agoutis, coatis, macaws, toucans, and so many more. No need to hike into the jungle...staying at Tiskita means that you're already thereThe cabins were built using precious woods like Mahogany, Purpleheart, and Rosewood. The wood was collected over the years mostly from trees that fell down in Tiskita. All cabins are only a few minute’s walk away from the lodge, the rainforest, and the beach.
PRIVACY: The cabins are spread out around the lodge and landscaped to ensure privacy. Tiskita’s small number of cabins also helps to ensure privacy.
WILDLIFE: Each cabin is surrounded by trees that attract birds, butterflies, monkeys, and other wildlife, making the cabins’ decks often one of the best spots to relax and watch the wildlife go by.Yog
