What Our StudentsAre Saying

"Transformational Yin-Yoga Training"

I'm so grateful I chose Dani's Yin Yoga Training. Having my own peaceful space was a gift, and with the ocean just a 15-minute walk away, the entire experience felt like an oasis. The training was challenging in all the right ways, with each day thoughtfully planned out. Dani's calm, welcoming, and supportive presence set the tone from the very beginning. The food was absolutely amazing — nourishing, balanced, and made with so much care. I'm already dreaming about returning to this beautiful healing sanctuary. Thank you for everything, Dani. Thank you for helping me grow my wings back.

I really enjoyed the yin yoga lessons with Daniela. She was very knowledgeable about body alignment, cues, positioning and Yin Yoga in general. She was able to provide a comprehensive manual and speak to all of my questions very well! I enjoyed the lodging and the food was excellent. Would recommend this program to anyone interested in yin yoga and also wanting some time away in a beautiful, natural location!

"Great yin training in a beautiful setting"

Daniela is a genuine, cool person, and very knowledgeable teacher. I got to experience and discuss all fundamentals of yin yoga poses, as well as the basic underlying concepts of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I now understand and can explain the benefits of yin, and how to pursue them — which no yin class I took ever made clear.

Daniela is a delight and an impactful teacher. Easy to listen to. I have gained confidence and feel prepared to teach. The breakfast is delicious and filling. The vibe of the whole place is fantastic — complete with monkeys, sloths, toucans, and agoutis!

"Beautiful learning experience"

This Yin Teacher Training is much more than yoga poses alone. It has encouraged me to continue my yoga journey way beyond the mat. Daniela is an amazing teacher with an open heart and mind. She provided lots of great lessons and fantastic information. I liked that the content was organized in a way that made learning easier. Daniela was very responsive too, and supportive.

"One of the best experiences of my life"

What an incredible experience this retreat was. Daniela is not only an exceptionally knowledgeable instructor, but also deeply intuitive — she tailors the practice to each individual while gently guiding you to grow beyond what you thought possible. My understanding of yoga deepened in ways I'll carry with me long after the retreat. The setting is breathtaking: a private home tucked into the serene jungle yet just minutes from the beach. Waking up to the sounds of nature (including monkeys) and practicing yoga in such a setting was truly restorative. What makes this retreat extraordinary, though, is Daniela herself. She is kind, accommodating, and genuinely committed to making your experience unforgettable. She creates an environment of warmth and care that makes you feel both supported and inspired. Her generosity of spirit shines through in every detail. If you are looking for a retreat that nourishes body, mind, and soul, this is it. I cannot say enough good things — it was truly life-changing.

"Best yoga teacher ever"

I booked a 30-hour online 1:1 Yin Yoga teacher training. We worked over video call and the connection was good. About the training itself: Daniela possesses a vast knowledge and understanding of yoga, as if it were innate. Moreover, her teaching is always perfectly tailored to me. All my questions were thoroughly addressed and answered. The lessons were enjoyable and not at all mentally exhausting, yet they were packed with valuable information. I felt well-supported and cared for from beginning to end, with Daniela always encouraging me to become a teacher after the training. Overall, a big thank you to you, Daniela, and I'm already looking forward to the next module.

"Prenatal Teacher Training Course"

Disfruté muchísimo cada una de las sesiones prácticas y las clases con Daniela. Fue una experiencia súper enriquecedora y en todo momento estuvo súper abierta a enseñarme y transmitir su conocimiento. Su energía y su calidez me llenaron de confianza en todo momento. Su apertura para sacarme de dudas fue lo mejor, y sobretodo el explicarme todo de la manera más sencilla posible. Llegué sin saber qué esperar e insegura de si me gustaría o no, pero luego de mi primera clase supe que había tomado la decisión correcta.

"A truly special experience that has profoundly changed and strengthened my life."

What touched me the most was the openness and genuine compassion of the teachers from the very first moment. Every day of the retreat was filled with warmth, connection, and heartfelt care, making those four days incredibly meaningful. It was genuinely difficult to leave and return home. I know this won't be my last retreat with you. Thank you for sharing your beautiful energy with all of us. Namaste.

"This yoga retreat was the true definition of taking time for myself."

At the same time, I had the incredible opportunity to meet incredibly kind and inspiring people and share conversations that were both meaningful and deeply nourishing. The accommodation, the food, the program, and the teachers were all simply perfect. Everything was thoughtfully planned and felt just right. I left feeling refreshed, inspired, and deeply grateful for this beautiful experience.

Daniela H.

"It was an extraordinary experience that I can highly recommend to everyone."

The trainers, the setting, the food — everything was absolutely perfect. It is an experience I will carry in my heart forever.

Marion M.

"A retreat like this is a gift to yourself."

In a way, it is about arriving at your true self — something that is hard to put into words. It is such a personal experience that you simply have to live it yourself... in any case, it is magical.
