Bienestar Uvita Yoga Shala

Lura holds a special place in my heart! My time with her in Costa Rica for my yoga certification truly transformed my relationship to my body and to the practice of yoga. I never felt like 'just another student' but more like a part of her family. She is very well-versed in her studies and her extensive background in yoga therapy is clear. I highly recommend Lura and Bienestar Shala & I know I'll be back for more at some point in the future!

Lura is an excellent and skilled Yoga practitioner. She has both the background education and experience to safely and effectively deliver an exceptional and well rounded yoga class. She puts passion and care into all she does with professionalism and warmth - I highly recommend Bienestar Shala!

Lura is by far the best yoga instructor for our community. She is the most highly trained yoga instructor I have met in my 20 years of yoga practice. As a fellow professional (I am an acupuncturist) I feel confident sending my clients to her for meditation, yin yoga, and Hatha yoga classes. And she is skilled at addressing the specific therapeutic needs of my clients with physical limitations. Her classes, both private and group are well organized and with her expert eye she is very helpful in addressing the specifics of all asanas. We have worked together in this capacity for 9 years and all of my clients rave about her instruction. She is kind and thoughtful and profound in her understanding of individual needs. Because of this deep understanding, I have sent her some highly experienced yoga practitioners who return to me thoroughly impressed with her ability to address their individual needs. I found Lura through a friend who came back to me saying Lura “is the real thing.” I immediately contacted her for my own personal yoga practice and have repeatedly seen her for my own practice needs and to help me with my own physical restrictions. I cannot recommend her enough. If you are a yoga instructor please use her for certifications at all levels of yoga practice.

Lura is a rare gem of her authentic experience and knowledge in the field of yoga. A calming studio with the sound of the Uvita river right beside us!

Luca is an amazing yoga teacher and yoga therapist. I had a really good yoga alignment class with her. Would highly recommend.
