Activate the body with yoga and soothe the mind with mindful meditation, pranayama, and sound healing.

Teacher/Teachings

Vinyasa and Yin yoga classes suitable for all levels, mindfulness meditations, pranayama and sound healing evenings. There will be also a cacao meditation ceremony.

Daniela teaches an approachable Vinyasa and Yin Yoga, with an emphasis on finding balance and ease in movement.

Daniela has been practicing yoga since 2010, and teaching since 2016. She is a certified 200 hour yoga teacher with Hari-Om Yoga School, and also a certified yin yoga teacher (100 hours) with the 5 Elements International School of Yoga, led by Vinay Jesta, and with Sarah Lo, fellow teacher of Sarah Powers.

Her classes bring awareness into the body, and are directed to reach that perfect balance between strength and ease, yin and yang, our feminine and masculine sides.

Daniela’s approach to yoga combines a focus on alignment and strength, with a feeling of surrender and ease. She welcomes everyone to the mat, so they may come back to their True Self and live the light of yoga into their daily lives.

Daniela includes in all her classes the concepts of conscious breathing (Pranayama), Mindfulness Meditation and Sound Healing.

Facilities

Vista Verde offers five rooms, three double rooms that can be used as single or for couple / friends, and two triple rooms. All rooms have garden views and shared bathrooms and showers. The rooms are simple, with a rustic Caribbean-style vibe, with comfortable orthopedic mattresses and mosquitoes nets. There is no AC, but a fan is provided in each room.

Timetable

Try to arrive on your first day by 15:00, Chandra Karuna Yoga will have time to introduce to each other and explain the retreat schedule. There will be an evening yoga class. Each day's yoga and workshops will focus on one of the Five Elements: Earth (body), Water (movement), Fire (discipline and action), Air (breath), and Ether (expression). Activate the body with daily yoga classes and soothe the mind with mindful meditation practices, pranayama, and sound healing.

Testimonials:

Daniela is such a great teacher! Expect a strong, sweaty flow with a lot of focus on alignment – just how a yoga class should be . Definitely one of the best yoga teachers I’ve had while traveling in Costa Rica. I’m trying to advance my practice and in a short time Daniela really really helped me. Thank you so much ?! - Alice from UK
