Nosara Kambo, Yoga & Retreats is based at Casa Devi Mandir on Calle Lambert near Playa Pelada, and centers on the work of yoga teacher Yali rather than a conventional spa menu. The offerings split into two main tracks: yoga and Kambo.

On the yoga side, options include group classes held at Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort in Nosara, private sessions at a client's home or at Bodhi Tree, and multi-day yoga retreats in Costa Rica and other locations. Styles mentioned by past students range from power vinyasa to yin and breathwork-focused flow classes, and private sessions can be tailored for families, including kids.

The other focus is Kambo, a traditional detox medicine derived from the secretion of the Amazon's giant tree frog. Ceremonies are run individually, in a ritual setting with sage and other ceremonial elements, and are framed around physical cleansing, immune support, and emotional release rather than relaxation in the usual spa sense. Anyone considering Kambo should expect a guided, ceremony-style session rather than a drop-in treatment.

The practice has been noted in a Travel + Leisure piece on family travel in Nosara, which specifically recommended Yali for private yoga sessions, including with children, and mentioned her sound bath add-on after family classes. No treatment prices are listed, and since both yoga sessions and Kambo ceremonies are booked individually, reservation ahead of time is required. The property is open Monday through Saturday from 8:30am to 4:30pm, with no listed hours on Sunday.
