Great yin training in a beautiful setting
This was yin level 1. I came with extensive vinyasa teaching experience, but only limited experience with yin (~20 classes as a student). Daniela was a genuine, cool person and very knowledgeable teacher, who understood what I needed and paced the course well for me. I got to experience and discuss all of the fundamental yin poses, as well as the basic underlying concepts from traditional Chinese medicine. I now understand and can explain the benefits of yin yoga and how to pursue them -- which no yin class I took ever made clear. This course was perfect for me, because I learned what I needed to begin teaching yin yoga, while feeling like I was on a quiet mini vacation.

I can not emphasize enough how amazing my experience was. Daniela was attentive, patient, passionate. She went above and beyond what I expected. She is a fantastic cook that made my meals with love and was very considerate about my dietary restrictions. She planned yoga with my injury in mind and her massage was life-altering. I feel like I left a different person than when I got there. If you are unsure about where to go, just go here. You will not be disappointed. Both Daniela and her husband are lovely people.

This retreat was a perfect balance of physical practice, lectures and free time. The location is in the middle of the jungle with a 20min walk to a store and the beach, so no need to drive during the retreat. Daniela brings an amazing energy to all the sessions and I would highly recommend this training to anyone looking for a restful getaway and inspiring course!

Daniela has a grounded presence, calm and joyful demeanor and a wide depth and breadth of yoga knowledge and experience. She embodies her teachings and took the time to understand my prior knowledge, fill in the gaps of my understanding, and guide me to build skills and understanding.
The beautiful space provided was clean, well organized and located amidst lush tropical foliage abundant with wildlife and just a short stroll to the beach. Daniela is a fantastic cook who went above and beyond to accommodate my odd dietary restrictions. The kindness of Daniela and her family is deeply appreciated. After Daniela’s training, I feel nourished, rejuvenated, and confident to share yin yoga with my clients and students! I couldn’t recommend this training higher and look forward to coming back for Daniela’s yin level 2 training!

Amazing teacher, great location, stay and experience
Daniella was an amazing, kind, and knowledgeable teacher. I felt so safe under her guidance, and her energy was so soothing. She was easy to learn from, sequenced great classes, and planned thorough lectures. She welcomed me into her space with such compassion, helped me explore the surrounding area, and helped my confidence grow as a teacher while I learned how to translate my former yoga training into prenatal safe classes. She helps her students feel empowered in their bodies and encourages them to pass on that strength to their students.

A Truly Amazing Experience 💓✨

One of the best experiences of my life
What ann 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. With her one-on-one attention allowed for practice became stronger, and 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. The house has everything you need, offering comfort, peace, and a true sense of retreat. 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.

Yoga Pre-natal con Daniela🌟👌🏼
Disfruté muchísimo cada una de las sesiones prácticas y lectures con Daniela. Fue una experiencia súper enriquecedora y en todo momento súper abierta a enseñarme y transmitir su conocimiento. Su energía y su calidez me llenaron de confianza en todo momento. La apertura de su parte para sacarme de dudas fue lo mejor y sobretodo explicarme de la manera más sencilla posible todo.
Llegue sin saber qué esperar e insegura si me gustaría o no pero luego de mi primer clase supe que había tomado la decisión correcta!

Muchas gracias Daniela! ❤️✨🙏🏼
This was my second time learning from Daniela and the experience was more than I could have imagined. With the new moon energy, this YTT plus the thoughtfully interwoven sweat lodge that we took part in from a local medicine woman, paved the way for cleansing & deeper emotional release (pain) that had been stored in my body. I feel a significant sense of renewal and truly am so grateful for this experience.
For the YTT, I did the next level of Yin and learned a lot about the nervous system and deeper facial release with myo-balls and props. This will serve me and my clients well to move the “issues out of the tissues.”
Thank you again for being YOU, the serene jungle accommodations, and the delicious breakfasts 🙏🏼😋
Infinite blessings ♾️

Transformational Yin-Yoga Training
I’m so grateful I chose Dani’s Yin Yoga Training. I originally wanted a retreat but opted for the training instead because it felt more aligned financially—and I’m so glad I did. It ended up being a deep, healing retreat in itself.
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 definitely recommend paying extra for the dinners so you don’t have to walk in the dark to find food elsewhere. Every meal felt like a warm hug after a full day of practice and learning.
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. 🦋

Excellent Retreat
Daniela was very intuitive to our needs. She did not pressure us to do more than we were capable of. She was open to our questions and explained our yoga positions well.

With immense gratitude
I am so grateful for the time I spent with Daniella and Francesco. They are both so incredibly welcoming and kind.
I enjoyed my one-on-one morning yoga sessions with Daniella; they were an excellent way to begin the day. I also appreciated the time I spent with Franceso working on my energy levels and discovering ways to reset and rebalance.

So glad I booked this training!
I cannot express my gratitude enough for this experience! I was drawn by the opportunity to get one on one instruction and personalized lessons at such an affordable rate and flexible for my travel schedule. It was a perfect balance of structure and independent leisure time.
Daniela is a wonderful teacher. The program was structured but she is able to lean in to individual interests. She helped me gain confidence and find my voice as a teacher, while also allowing me to relax and find clarity through my own practice.
Daniela was so kind and welcoming. I felt very taken care of as she was super helpful with my questions, requests, and advice for what to do with free time. With that said, the location is perfect - super safe and laid back town, beautiful beach variety for solace or socializing, tons of food and local goods.
You are definitely in the jungle. Birds, bugs, and monkeys all around but it is so cool to live amongst them! Bug spray is essential but only in the evening.

Nourishment for the mind, body and soul.
When looking at options for a Yin YTT I wasn’t sure where to begin! I found Dani’s training on this site and it called out to me. At first I was unsure, as a solo female traveler going to a stranger’s house in the middle of the jungle of Costa Rica seemed risky… I am SO glad I took the leap of faith. With every worry or questions I had before I got there, Daniela was reassuring and supportive. She helped me to arrange a driver Olger from San Jose to her home. He was so kind and I felt safe the whole way. During the week I stayed, she gave me amazing recommendations for local exploring, food and culture during my breaks. When I arrived I felt the most warm welcome from Daniella and immediately knew this was the right fit for me. The cabin I stayed in was so lovely, it felt like home and so safe. You are surrounded in nature and the beautiful sounds. It’s so perfect to unplug and digest as you process the information and journey of the training. Not to mention the DELICIOUS breakfasts and dinners she cooked for me my body felt so good this whole week from the locally resourced foods (as local as the backyard garden). This was a truly healing experience for me. I connected with Daniela in a very wholesome way that I feel I have made a friend for life and will see again. Daniela is an amazing teacher. She had so much knowledge to share about Yin Yoga and taught in such an accessible way. I am more of a visual and experience type of learner and this was exactly that.

Amazing Experience!
This experience was beyond amazing! I went in with an open mind and heart and felt deeply held and seen by Daniela in this process. She has a gentle and graceful nature that allows for a calm and safe learning environment. The jungle experience while staying on her property was so wonderful to be immersed amongst the numerous variations of plants and animals. I loved the fresh fruits each morning that came straight from her garden and neighborhood fruit stand. As far as the yin teachings, it was the perfect balance of yoga sessions, lectures, and break times. I appreciate the well-balanced and thoughtful curation of this course. Daniela pours her soul into spreading this knowledge with a low investment for her time as she believes in the mission to make it easily accessible to all. I am so grateful for this opportunity and look forward to going back for her level 2 training! Much love to you Daniela! :)

Best yoga teacher ever!
I booked an 30 hour online Teacher 1:1 Yin Yoga class.
We worked with Skype 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.

Phenomenal yoga retreat in beautiful location
My experience on this yoga retreat was so wonderful and rejuvenating, I would recommend it to everyone. Dani is a wonderful instructor and the sound bath on the final evening was a really special experience. She and Francesco took wonderful care of me, the food was fantastic, and the yoga was a great balance of grounding and energizing. Sitting in the hammock and listening to the howler monkeys and birds in the forest was also an unforgettable experience and I would love to return again someday. Thanks again Dani!

This was a great place to have a retreat -
Daniela 🌺🌊✨ and Francisco were wonderful teachers. This was a great experience for my personal growth and healing. Their beautiful jungle cabin was amazing. I could sit out and see beautiful butterflies see toucans and hear all sorts of birds. Daniela 🌺🌊✨ was a great yoga instructor and taught me many things that I did not know and Francesco helped me with my spiritual growth. The cabin itself was close enough to town and to beaches, but you still had to get a taxi or Tuk Tuk , which is like an Uber. They were super helpful in other ways as far as where to go for groceries, beaches, and getting around the area altogether. They went out of their way to make sure I had a really good stay. I’m very grateful for them.

A wonderful stay and program
I really enjoyed the yin yoga lessons with Daniela. She was very knowledgeable about body alignment, queues, 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. Daniela and her husband were so kind to pick me up and drop me off and also buy more candles/tea when I needed it. Would recommend this program to anyone interested in yin yoga and also wanting some time away in a beautiful naturey location!

4-Day Yoga Retreat
I can’t say enough good things about this experience! Daniela and Francesco were so helpful from the beginning of the process to the end. I got sick on my last evening and they went out of their way to get me medication and make me tea. Incredibly grateful for their kindness! They respected my space so that when we were not practicing, I could reflect plenty on my own.
The building I stayed in was a new one and it was perfect. It was so peaceful and had a great view of the jungle to watch the monkeys swing around the trees!
The yoga practices lead by Daniela were very well done, a nice blend of hatha and yin. We had one of these each morning and I really enjoyed them.
Psych K with Francesco was a very interesting experience. He made me feel very comfortable and was so patient, wanting to make sure we do it right and taking the time to repeat what was needed rather than rushing through. Very open and helpful all around!
Location was great, as it was tucked into a quiet area, but walking distance to the beach. The town was still walking distance but it was a bit of a walk, but definitely do-able. Felt very safe everywhere I went.
Highly recommend this experience for anyone looking to do some self-reflection and get away from the craziness of the world.

A one-one experience that transformed my life
The best of all was the intense work in a short stay. As a professional and mother is hard to find the balance and find time to self-love, this retreat allowed me to find everything I needed. Costa Rica is a safe place for a woman to travel solo and once you get to the property everything feels homie. Daniela welcomed me with all her love to my beautiful home for the weekend. The cottage is very cozy and had everything that I needed including a nice hammock and nature sounds like howler monkeys. The next morning, I had the yoga session with Daniela; her yin yoga classes are as soft and powerful as you can imagine. After that class you have a break and they serve you the most nutritious breakfast filled with proteins, complex carbs, good fats and a big bowl of fruits and coffee or tea. Right after breakfast the psych-k therapy with Francesco- he guided me into cleaning my "old computer network" and to create a "new computer system" that works for me in my today. Old trauma was transformed from an unconscious to a conscious state of mind. The combination of Yin Yoga and Psych K therapy is a powerful combination and when you are guided in an one-one sessions miracles can happen. I recommend the instructors and stay. The location Puerto Viejo and Cocles is a divine surfside town that you can ride in a bike and enjoy a great nature view, vibe and food while enjoying yourself and others.

I wish you have such a wonderful experience as me💚
Dani is absolutely unique as a teacher and as a person. She was super helpful already before my trip with answering all my doubts and questions. Her yoga and lecture classes are soo amazing, she has professional knowledge about the body and yoga postures. I did the prenatal course which was totally top for me! You can have it as a preparation for your future pregnancy or for the current or to help other women. I learned a lot what to do in each trimester and what to avoid, how to help and support myself and others during the whole process and how to connect with your baby. We had 2 hours yoga practice and cca 2,5 lecture per day, the program was perfectly balanced for me and i still had time around lunch to go to the beach or do anything nice for myself. Otherwise I am sure you can always find the way as Dani is super helpful to make your stay as great and nice as possible, she is super thoughtful regarding your needs that she even washed my clothes. Food from her and her husband are simple incredible - super healthy fresh food with lots of protein inside. There are activities near by which you can do like horse riding (I did that too, it was super nice as you can get to know beaches and jungle too) or go to the beach. Be ready as you are completely in the nature, so there are animals - there is no need to be scared as they are super cute as people in costarica too but just the monkeys make special sound - so just remind yourself in the morning or night that you are safe even

life-changing retreat!
When I got there I felt uncomfortable and my body felt locked up. But as soon as I'd had a session with Francesco and Daniela, this feeling disappeared and I started to open up. Daniela helped me to 'straighten' my body as I was always walking around with my shoulders forward. She tailored the yoga classes to my physical problems and I am very grateful to her for that. Francesco helped me with my inner self. I can't really explain the experience, I still don't understand how it worked, but it works and it's such an immersive great feeling to be able to experience it.
The house is huge and my favorite part was the hammock hanging on the porch. At first I was afraid to be there in the dark (the houses are surrounded by jungle), and I've always been afraid of the dark. But thanks to Francesco's magical work, I left my fear behind and was able to enjoy the hammock to the full ;)
Nevertheless, I didn't want to go all the way to the front for dinner in the dark, so I let Daniela cook for me. It was delicious and the portions were almost too big for me.

Everywhere you go is safe and easy to access, and you get a lot of support and advice from her on how to navigate the aria. Thank you Daniella for a great experience 🧡

Enriching retreat to slow down & realign yourself
I was spontaneously looking for a retreat where I could refocus and reflect on myself. That's exactly what I found with Daniela and Francesco. The 4 days allowed me to slow down completely and focus on myself again.
I was not only able to learn from Daniela's experience in asanas, but also benefit from her mindset and the exchange about self-care and priorities in life.
Francesco helped me to let go of old beliefs and laid the foundation for new beneficial ones. Working with Francesco was very supportive and helpful.
They are both incredibly warm people.
I had a house all to myself with a great terrace, including a hammock, where I could reflect on the day and the sessions with Daniela and Francesco and relax. The bedroom is completely protected against mosquitoes with fly screens. The house is in a quiet location in the middle of the jungle, but the beach and the village of Cocles are within walking distance. The couple and their family live right next door and are always available and helpful, even for grocery shopping and trips into town.
The breakfast is very lovingly prepared according to your own wishes.
If you're looking for a break to slow down and develop your personality, the combination of yoga and Psych-K with Danliela and Francesco is just right for you!
All in all, these few days were a very enriching experience! Thank you very much

Beautiful learning experience
This Yin Teacher Training is much more than yoga poses alone. It is a wholesome understanding of what Yoga is. 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 content was organized in a way that made learning easier. Daniela was very responsive too and supportive. This course was online so some of the things like food and accommodation weren't applicable in my case. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the learning experience! Thank you Daniela ❤️

Persönliche Auszeit in wunderschöner Umgebung
Daniela erteilte mir zweimal täglich Yoga-Unterricht (abends Yin, morgens Vinyasa). Die Abwechslung sowie die hilfreichen Tipps von Daniela haben mir dabei besonders gut gefallen. Hinzu kommt die wunderschöne Umgebung, wo man während der "Freizeit" am Strand, bei einem Spaziergang oder auf der Terrasse mit Blick ins Grüne verweilen und sich entspannen kann. Das Frühstück war abwechselungsreich und super lecker! Daniela und ihr Mann Francesco sind sehr liebe, zuvorkommende, respektvolle und inspierierende Menschen, bei welchen man sich direkt gut aufgehoben fühlt. Die kurze aber wunderschöne Auszeit habe ich in vollen Zügen genossen und ich kann dieses Yoga-Retreat wirklich wärmstens weiterempfehlen. Bei meinem nächsten Costa Rica-Aufenthalt werde ich dieses Yoga-Retreat definitiv wieder buchen. :)

Peaceful and restorative yoga and Psych-K experience
I received this experience as a gift and it was amazing!
Daniela and Francisco made this experience wonderful. They are super thoughtful hosts and have great expertise in their respective areas. I loved the morning yoga sessions with Daniela which she tailored to my love for flow and vinyasa yoga. The time spent working using Psych-K techniques with Francisco helped me grow and improve and find more peace.
Their property is in a beautiful location with nature all around. From all the beautiful tropical trees and plants, to interesting animals, I could experience it all while staying with Daniela and Francisco. The guest house is very spacious and has all the amenities including a full kitchen where I could make simple dinners and keep my groceries. Every morning they brought me an amazing and huge breakfast with local fruit. So good! On the last morning I was leaving super early and the night before Daniela brought over some local banana bread for me to take with. Super thoughtful and it was delicious!
There's nothing in particular I didn't like. The location is great for someone like me who likes to walk quite a bit. It took about 15 minutes to walk to the main road through up and down dirt roads and 30 minutes to walk to Puerto Viejo. I was not a fan of Puerto Viejo as it was too touristy.

Yoga stay for 4 nights
Daniela is an excellent yoga teacher and her instructions are really good.
I loved practicing in the nature and with the sound of the jungle in the background. Also her dog, cat and chicken came to visit the practice which was really cute.
Her place is really calm and quiet so you can really slow down and go deep in the practice.
Also I Never tried yin before so it was really nice to have that in one to one sessions.
She helped me organizing my days and was really helpful.
Thank you for the days and practices I had with you Daniela!

You’ll be so grateful you did this for yourself
Daniela’s warm and inviting nature makes you feel comfortable and supported right away. There’s something so special in the way that she guides you through this teacher training that you walk away feeling empowered and connected to yourself and your baby (if pregnant). I happen to be 6 months pregnant and felt that my bond to my baby boy grew 10x from this teacher training. I’m leaving with so much gratitude in my heart for Daniela and her loving leadership.

I had a beautiful experience with Daniela on our yin yoga training. She was so easy to connect with a we enjoyed some great deep conversation and she took me through and informative & transformative yoga experience! I really felt I could let go with Daniela and get into my practice she created a safe space for surrender and equally then and engaged space for learning!
Really highly recommend this course and she’s doing it for next to nothing and that from The love in she has for people and yoga and knowing the world is going through a hard time right now!
The whole atmosphere is beautiful at the house with her lovely family around. Husband Francisco is a great guy and there little girl is a delight.

A Wealth of Yin Yoga Knowledge!
Daniela is such a beautiful and inspiring teacher. I found her incredibly knowledgeable about yin yoga and TCM meridians, and she was able to recommend excellent books to further my studies in the space. Her lectures were inspiring and feedback during final assessment very encouraging. I would highly recommend her to anyone who may be interested in practicing or teaching yin yoga. I'm so very grateful to have found her on this site!

Amazing and highly educational
This was my first yoga retreat and I couldn’t be more content with my selection. Daniela has put together an amazing foundation course in yin yoga that is suitable for all skill levels. After taking this course, not only do I feel confident enough to teach my friends and family the asanas and flows I’ve learned, but I also walked away with a great theoretical, historical, and anatomical understanding of yin yoga and how it was and is still used by cultures to enhance the vitality of our internal organs. Daniela has a wealth of knowledge from her years of teaching and she embodies pure love that makes you feel welcome and comfortable right from the start. I can’t recommend this course enough and it’s location was one of my favorite places I visited in my whole trip to Costa Rica. Even though it is still very close to the downtown area of Puerto Viejo which gets a lot of night life, you feel like you are tucked away in a little jungle cocoon surrounded the beautiful plant and animal life on the property. Also, Christian who cares for the grounds makes a delicious breakfast every morning and is there to make sure you have everything you need during your stay. I couldn’t be more impressed with my stay there and the value for your money is more than generous. I even tried to tip Daniela a little more and she wouldn’t except it. She told me to give it to the people on the street which further demonstrates her qualities as a true yogi. I’m forever grateful for this experience.

Absolutely amazing & relaxing
Not only was Daniela (the instructor) so sweet and knowledgeable, the owner Chris at Vista Verde (hotel) was incredible too! The place was kept so clean, there was amazing fruits & avocado toast for breakfast & I had my own bedroom & bathroom. Right across the street from the beach, yin every morning & afternoon, beautiful sounds of birds, I couldn’t have enjoyed a better experience. Lectures were interactive, we used essential oils, sound bowls and more. Overall, I had an amazing journey finding myself & connecting with nature in beautiful Puerto Viejo.

Yoga, nature, wildlife and new friends
I received unimaginably thoughtful 1-1 yoga teacher instruction and practices 2x/day. The courses were both well-designed and flexible. Daniela is very knowledgeable and passionate about energy healing through yin yoga. We added on a short yang yoga 2-day as well, allowing me to get an understanding of sequencing yin yang for meridian and chakra based healing through asanas... so amazing. I was treated with such respect and care. I feel much more confident thanks to her guidance and compassion!
The location is simply magical and healing in its own right. While there I experienced one sloth coming through close I could’ve touched her! There were watusas, giant butterflies, tropical frogs, birds and 2 cuddly cats and a sloth high up in a tree that called Vista Verde home. The staff were so helpful and friendly; we became friends. My breakfasts were especially delicious and made with such love. I just left yesterday and already miss this place and its people and animals.
The instructor, yoga training, staff and environment provide everything one needs for a transformative and healing experience. To manifest this: be present, be still, see, listen and open up. This training is surely one of the yoga world’s best kept secrets!

Great tropical spot and a wonderful instructor
Daniela was amazing. Super sweet soul and embodies what a yoga teacher is meant to be. She was flexible with the schedule when we explained we needed an earlier date too. The class was well structured, informative, gentle but challenging enough. I left feeling like I got more than what I had hoped for.

A solid private yoga teacher training
Daniela is an excellent, excellent, did I say excellent already? teacher. She gives useful and honest feedback which I liked. She even modified the lessons somewhat to match my learning style, which was great.

Unvergessliches Erlebnis
Daniela ist eine sehr sensible und professionelle Yogalehrerin, die mich stets gefordert und unterstützt hat. Ich hatte das Glück Einzelunterricht zu bekommen und das führte zu einer tollen emotionalen Bindung.
Weiter muss das exzellente Fruehstueck erwähnt werden, sehr reichhaltig und stets etwas variiert.
Der Aufenthalt wird unvergesslich bleiben.

Had a very relaxing time here. Daniela is a wonderful instructor and I really enjoyed the yoga/meditation classes with her. The guesthouse is very close to the beach, so after the morning class, I just went to the beach and have a relaxing and quiet rest of the day. The guesthouse is very comfortable and everyone were very friendly. The breakfast is also quite lovely. I went on this retreat looking for some place to find some peace and relaxation and I think that is exactly what I found.

Yoga Journey in Costa Rica
Daniela was a great host/ yoga instructor. She made us feel very welcome from the first moment we stepped into the retreat. She was very quick to respond to our questions. Yoga classes were tailor to our needs. We had a very relaxing experience and the breakfast was healthy and delicious! The yoga retreat was in a great location. We were only a few minutes walk from the beach, great restaurants and shops. We are very glad we chose this place as our yoga retreat. We are looking forward to coming back again.

An amazing adventure
The place was so nice, right across from the beach and close to several great places to eat. Daniela, Francesco and Juan were very welcoming and made the place feel like home. The yoga was transforming and done in a beautiful location:)
