One thing I did not expect about living in Costa Rica, even for a short time, was how much your daily routine changes.
Back home, I always felt like wellness was something I had to schedule around work. In Costa Rica, especially near the coast, it felt more natural. You walk more, spend more time outside, eat lighter, and somehow your body starts asking for a slower rhythm.
When I visited Costa Rica last year, I spent some time around Nosara and tried Pilates there. I went to a women-owned studio run by Page called Pilates Nosara Compass, and honestly, it fit the lifestyle there really well. It was not just a workout class. It helped with posture, breathing, core strength, and the kind of body awareness you really notice after surfing, walking, or just adjusting to a more active lifestyle.
For anyone moving to Costa Rica or staying there for a few months, I would say don’t only think about housing, visas, and cost of living. Think about the lifestyle you want to build there too. The country gives you a good chance to reset your routine if you actually take advantage of it.
I found Pilates to be a nice part of that reset. Not intense in a gym-style way, but very useful if you want to feel stronger, more flexible, and more connected to your body while living there.
