TROPICAL CLIMATE

Panama’s tropical climate is characterized by its dry and rainy season. The warm weather and abundance of sunshine create an ideal environment for outdoor yoga sessions, meditation, and other wellness activities. The only months we recommend to avoid are the rainy season months between mid August to mid November. Outside of those months, expect sunny skies that allow for an abundance of outdoor activities and practices.

This natural beauty provides a serene and rejuvenating backdrop for yoga and meditation practices, allowing participants to connect deeply with nature.
