Background
MY STORY
Grounded in movement, mindfulness, and a love for nature, my journey led me to yoga as a powerful path for personal growth and shared connection. Today I live in and teach yoga from Tamarindo, Costa Rica – a beautiful place to call home. 
Approach
My yoga teaching philosophy is rooted in exploring the body in space, in finding the balance between flexibility and fluidity–safely, and with intention.  Whether teaching yoga classes in-person at Playa Tamarindo or privately online, I provide my students with curated practices that deepen their skills, 
Credentials
A lifelong yoga student myself, as an instructor I am indebted to and grateful for having been taught by and to have practiced with teachers I deeply honor and respect. I carry what I have learned from them into every individual and group yoga class I lead. 
Yoga Practices & Programs
I teach a wide variety of yoga styles and offer flexible class and course formats, both online and in-person, for individuals, studios and retreats. Whether you are visiting the Playa Tamarindo area or are interested in connecting for virtual classes, I am eager to meet and practice yoga with you. 
Testimonials
"In my 15-years practicing yoga, exploring different styles and working with different teachers, there has been no other person who has taught me more than Hector — there's simply no comparison."

~ Christopher Witham, Student  
"I'm so grateful to have met Hector at a retreat in Costa Rica. He is so knowledgable and nurturing, and why, among many reasons, I choose to work with him today. He has literally transformed my practice."

~ Aida Ramusovic, Student  
​"I could tell you that you should take classes with Hector because of his unique, creative yet unpretentious style, his vast experience, his serenity, and authenticity…But first and foremost, you should take his classes because of his remarkable gift for guiding you into asanas you never thought you could do. He shapes every session to your individual needs, mood, and abilities in a way no video or studio class ever could. Most importantly: you won’t just discover an amazing yoga teacher—you’ll welcome a truly wonderful person into your life."
