About Niyama Costa Rica
Niyama was co-founded by Christi Davison & Mike Turnpenny in 2022.
Created with the vision of offering our guests & clients immersive and personalised experiences rooted in yoga, meditation, mindfulness, breathwork and cold exposure.
Niyama is facilitated and led by Mike along with his wife Vivi, who between them offer top class teaching, guidance, hospitality and memorable experiences that you will cherish forever and want to repeat time and time again. Each practice and activity is designed with the intention of facilitating transformation.
The powerful combination of activities isn't just shown to and done by our guests and clients, but also explained in detail as well. The 'why?' for why we do each activity and how they can have profound impacts on our lives redefines what we believe our limits to be, leaving people feeling revitalised, powerful, courageous, confident, free and ready to move forwards with their lives much happier and healthier.
Niyama is the Sanskrit term for duty or observance, and all practices can be considered inner observances. They are a way of applying the ethical codes of yoga to our minds, body, and spirit, helping to create a positive internal environment.
