My trip to Danyasa was fabulous! The lodging is beautiful, my favorite was the gorgeous yoga studio, that I often could practice in on my own if not occupied. I was there during a relatively low census so it was often open but I imagine if there was a retreat or more people, there would be more classes. There were 1-2 classes a day, which I would classify a beginner and more restorative, but I practice a more vigorous advanced athletic practice. But the teachers are all phenomenal and compassionate and really love yoga and teaching! My eco-container was the perfect place to relax after a long day of yoga wandering the cute tiny town (it's literally less than a mile to walk through and around the whole thing) and surfing which was a fun and rewarding challenge! I was there from Monday night Dec 5th to Saturday, Dec 10th. I took a company shuttle with super shuttle which was cheap on the way in, and on the way out i paid 160$ for a private shuttle which was "arranged" by Danyasa, but there was a bit of a snafu which was partly my fault because I booked so last minute, because it was worth spending the money to spend 3 more hours in glorious dominical! Also, the food at cafe mono congo is fresh and delicious, where I would often have brunch, dinner, or just coffee or dessert!
Overall a great trip! Would recommend for someone who can happily fill their days on the beach, practicing yoga, or if adventurous touring neighboring areas or snorkeling or hiking which is available for a price through many companies in town, and easy to book. Also, the surf and yoga combo was awesome. And the beach was always tranquil and never crowded but again I was there in December, so still 80s but with some afternoon rains. So glad I went!
Pura Vida!
