Celestial Dance

The yoga instruction top shelf! Super knowledgeable, best instruction I’ve ever had. She broke it down, got on our level and made clear directions so we could achieve results. In five days I felt like I got better at pushing my edges and have a jump start on improving my health.

The food was amazing, every meal nourished and delighted. I’m super excited to eat more plant based and have already made several of the meals at home.

The location, Guatemala is such a lovely place, the people the culture. I would have never thought to travel there except for the yoga retreat but I’m smitten. It was a really great balance of education on the culture, experiences that I would have never considered. The hosts were kind knowledgeable and so helpful.

Honestly I know that retreats like this have a lot to do with your mindset, but I found this life altering and really fed my soul. I’m definitely going back!

I had a very meaningful experience. Yoga instruction was consistently tailored to individual needs, classes and meals were on time, and there was set aside free time as well. There was a variety of activities and information shared about the region and Guatemalan culture that I really appreciated. The food was absolutely amazing, every meal homemade and prepared right on the spot. Our overnight accommodations were also top notch. I feel deeply relaxed and in my body again from yoga that I was searching for.

Location was beautiful, hosts vere friendly and accommodating. Dani adapted her teaching to my beginner level, even with my scoliosis limitations. Would recommend to solo female travelers. Enjoyed the company and overall experience.

Mi semana con Dani fue mejor de lo que imaginé. Ella y su esposo Jorge me hicieron sentir como en casa, la comida que preparan es deliciosa, la casa es muy acogedora y siempre están atentos a cualquier detalle. Ambos me dejaron una vibra muy bonita y se nota el esfuerzo que invierten en este proyecto de aerial yoga.

El entrenamiento de las clases en sí es intenso, muy bueno y aunque se suda se pasa bien y cada sesión de verdad que hace maravillas en el cuerpo y espíritu. Dani enseña de manera personalizada y profesional y pone atención a cada pose y movimiento y va corrigiendo según sea necesario.

No dudaría en volver a hacer otro retiro con ella, y si todavía alguien lo está dudando: anímense y den el paso a confirmar este retiro. Para mí fue único y muy diferente a lo que se suele ver en otros lugares.

Las vistas al Volcán de Agua te quitan el aliento y también la montaña que rodea el pueblo, los pájaros están activos todo el día y es muy bonito salir del ambiente de ciudad y sumergirse en ese pedacito de montaña.

I had a fabulous time at the retreat. The yoga is held in a beautiful open room with sight to the woods. One hour of Hatha and Aerial each day strengthened my body and calmed me down. The surroundings are calming and the weather is cooler than in the cities. The schedule is well balanced between activities and free time. Dani and her husband make everything to feel you comfortable. Their homemade and fresh food was delicious! They also invite you to their house for meals and activities. It was a perfect escape.

If you're looking for a personalized retreat that will give you a sense of peace, deepen your yoga practice and explore Antigua in between, this is the perfect retreat for you. Dani was an amazing teacher and guided me through the whole aerial experience, I felt comfortable doing the practice. Dani and Jorge also made sure that I was able to explore bits and pieces of Antigua with ease with the little time I had. Their home was also amazing and the food they made every single time was delicious. I will not hesitate doing this again whenever I can. A truly calm, and wonderful experience.

Celestial Dance is clearly a place that is ideal for solo travellers that like a customised retreat. I signed up for what was originally a group retreat but knew in advance that I'd be the only one. It was a lovely experience as Dani and Jo tailored the retreat to my needs changing class times and length as well as their lovely home cooked meals.

Both Dani and Jo are warm and welcoming hosts that will try to make you feel at home and comfortable.

I hope that is a review you can agree with

My solo traveler experience with Dani was truly delightful. She is not only an excellent yoga instructor, she meets you where you are in skill level almost immediately. She challenges you, encourages you and helps you gain knowledge about your emotional and physical growth through chanting and meditation. She (and her husband, Jorge) cooked evening meals from scratch that were so flavorful and hearty, I had second helpings at every meal. She is a wonderful, and witty conversationalist with great insight to all topics. She was flexible, attentive and took great care in making sure I was comfortable and cared for. I was spoiled! I am sure to be back.

My initial plan was to decompress from a very bumpy year and make some next steps plans. Dani did an amazing job of personalizing the retreat to my initial interests and needs. Once we got halfway through the retreat, she adapted again, but she always left me time to rest, recovern and reflect on my growth and development.
