Costa Ricans can take a deep breath, and stretch. The first national yoga festival, Yoga Para Todos (Yoga for Everyone), takes place tomorrow and Sunday.

The festival, set to coincide with Sept. 21 International Day of Peace, warms up tomorrow morning with free yoga classes at centers, including Bikram Yoga, Casa Ames and Casa Lamat in San José, Ser Om Shanti in Playa Tamarindo, in the northwestern Guanacaste province, and VidAsana in Central Pacific's Playa Hermosa.
