- tom d1 contributionThe Best!!!!Whether you are an experienced yogi or new to the practice you will feel more than welcome at SER Om Shanti Yoga. Mariel is absolutely amazing and takes her time to show you the proper techniques and poses. After just one class I felt like a regular coming back, Mariel makes you feel like an individual and her years of expertise stand out in understanding different body types and capabilities. Breath by breath and inch by inch I felt more comfortable with each class. Genuinely miss the studio, Mariel, and all the friendly local faces. Don't miss out!Thank you for your lovely review! We are happy to hear that you felt at home in our studio and that you appreciated the personalized attention and expertise. Keep practicing, and know that you're always welcome back.

- leila hZurich, Switzerland22 contributionsI loved her classes!I went to Mariels yoga classes for about 2-3 months frequently. I love her style of teaching. She has a big knowledge about the body and has a very nice way to bring this across in her classes combining it with spirituality. Just the right amount of both so you can take or leave whatever you want. I for one am taking a lot from her teachings with me. I very much recommend her classes. Thank you Mariel!😊Leila, thank you so much for your review! We’re really happy to hear that our classes had such a positive impact on you. Thanks for your lovely energy in the classes and your open mind and commitment. It was a pleasure having you at Ser Om Shanti and we’d love to see you back anytime.

- Jennysalola19 contributionsBest yoga studio in Tama 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻Love love love this studio. On our trip we went to two classes and both were excellent but in previous years I would go to Mariel’s class religiously bc she’s amazing and has great energy. The studio is located right in the center of town upstairs and is very quiet and nice. The schedule is great with morning classes and afternoon classes. Mariel is a very experienced instructor and is great about making sure the poses are correct and always asks about injuries so she can help modifying poses. Go! You will not be disappointed! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻Jenny, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed both classes during your trip. We absolutely love having you back in the studio with your fresh and loving energy. You and Lola are always welcome to join us whenever you’re in town.

This has become my second home and my place of peace. Mariel has been a crucial part in my yoga journey and since I've been practicing with her and the other wonderful instructors at Ser Om Shanti I have noticed significant growth in my practice. So grateful for this place!

We did several classes here while were on vacation and I can't recommend it highly enough. Every class was so healing for both my body and soul. Mariel has such a comforting and calming personality the studio radiates good vibes. She was great about helping me modify positions to get the most out of the class. If you can only do one class try the Hatha! So so so good!

Interested in Yoga classes in Tamarindo? No matter if you’re a novice, intermediate or master level yogi, Ser Om Shanti will give you a wonderful class.
Those of us “locals” who are so fortunate and can participate regularly, see our skills, understanding and joy of yoga only expand.
Mariel is a wonderful instructor who gives personal adjustments and encouragement to all participants.
If one of her assistants is teaching you’ll have a great class as well.
I recommend you stop in while visiting or join us and practice regularly in the studio or on the beach. Enjoy!

Ser Om Shante Yoga Studio was a real treat for me. I bought a 4 class pass and it was the best money I spent in Tamarindo. Mariel’s studio is clean and has a welcoming feeling the first time you walk in the door! Her Instructors are professional, compassionate and extremely talented! I thoroughly enjoyed Jamie’s Arm Balance and Inversion Flow and Valerie’s Sunset Yoga on the beach. I have been practicing Yoga for 2 years and I have to tell you, of all of my past classes I have taken in the States, I feel that Mariel’s Power Class was the best Power Yoga class I have ever taken. It was challenging and definitely powerful, but somehow I left feeling fulfilled, calm and like I had truly accomplished something. Mariel’s instruction was on point! She taught me several new poses and helped me correct some of the bad habits I have picked up along the way in my Yoga Practice. If you are looking to be inspired and leave Tamarindo with a little more confidence and a smile, I highly recommend Ser Om Shante Yoga!

Ser Om Shanti
I found Tamarindo as a vacation spot back in 2019. No matter where I travel, I always hit up a yoga class or two during my vacation. Since finding Ser Om Shanti Yoga, now it has all changed. I travel to Tamarindo for yoga and I throw in a vacation activity or two while I am training in yoga at Ser Om. Mariel, the owner of the studio, has completely changed the way I relate to yoga. I have rods in my spine from a surgery I had over a decade ago and she has helped me to find better alignment and proper techniques to protect my spinal fusion and reduce any pain associated with the area. I have learn to engage muscles I never knew that I should be activating in my poses. She is well educated in the anatomy of the human body an has shown me the “why’s” and “how to’s” in my practice. I have learned new breathing techniques that will blow your mind! I have taken privates with Mariel and her wonderfully talented instructor Jamie. Both of these two outstanding women are the best two teachers I have ever had the opportunity to work with. I will be back for another set of classes at the studio, fun flows on the beach and of course their unmatched private lesson sessions. In case I haven’t said enough, DON’T miss out if you love yoga. No matter your ability level, they will help you improve and you will return home a yoga star at your home studio! Thank you Ser Om Shanti for everything you have done for me spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally and physically! I will see you again in September!

I have been going to this location since 2018. At the beginning my practice of yoga was only in the class, but now the benefits of the teaching have extended into the rest of my life. Mariel’s understanding of the body is unlike any instructor that I have ever had. While she is a teacher with a life’s worth of knowledge and she never stops being a good student. I am grateful to be a part of the community she has created.

I came to study Yoga with Mariel for two weeks and it was absolutely incredible. I met her back in November when I traveled to Tamarindo with my family and she told me to come live in Costa Rica and study Yoga with her. I finally found the time in August and it was more than I could have ever asked for. I went to 2-3 classes each day and experienced Hatha, Yin, Power Yoga and even Pilates during my time here. Jamie is also such an incredible teacher and learning from her was such a gift. I was so inspired to learn from Mariel because of her expertise around anatomy and how she teaches yoga very responsibly. Both her and Jamie are extremely knowledgeable about how to protect your joints and muscles as you practice. The studio is also extremely clean and all of the staff are very professional. For anyone that is wanting to learn about their body and immerse themselves in a loving, full-hearted community this is the place for you. There is no other Yoga studio that is as special as this one. Ser Om Shanti will always hold a special place in my heart.
