Yoga Retreats are a wonderful way to take pause from the busyness of everyday modern life. A chance to reconnect to yourself, rejuvenate your body, heart, mind and spirit, create positive transformation/healing in yourself, deepen your personal practice, be in community with like-minded folks, meet new fellow yogis, create life-long new friendships and take your experience back to your life integrating all the gifts you’ve received from the time away.

Daniella is currently based in the South Bay of Northern California where she offers weekly classes, workshops, local yoga retreats in the mountains and special yoga with live music events.

Each year she leads a group yoga retreat to the tropics and takes great care in choosing the most beautiful and inspiring places on the planet and the most influential people to collaborate with so as to glorify the practice, celebrate life and the beauty of this world and practice the art of modern yogic living.

Testimonials from retreat participants:

“Thank you, sweet friend and wise teacher! The seeds you helped me plant during the Harvest of Love feel like they have taken root already. My body feels lighter and more balanced and my heart and mind feel clearer than just 2 days ago. Amazing the transformations that can happen when we open ourselves to them. Yes, I did the work but like all true teachers, you pointed the way.”

~Rick Elliot, Santa Cruz, CA.

“The sweet scent of pine in the air and panoramic views of the Santa Cruz mountainsare only the appetizer in the banquet of a yoga retreat with Daniella.Come to the table of devotion with fellow yogins of different abilities, ages andbackgrounds, each one a guest of honor, opening the circle with acceptance.Daniella is the master chef, beginning the meal with prayer and intention,orchestrating music, inviting musicians into the dance.We start as a salad, different sizes, shapes and colors, tossed together, but separate.Then simmering with the heat of the practice, we meld together into a warm soupwith our breath and sweat. Daniella adds the right amount of spice for a sweet burnand herbs for healing relaxation.Satisfied, we take a break and mingle with one another for conversation, massage,nature, play and the feeling of community as we join in the kitchen for shared lunch.Reaching out is easy in this nurturing group; nonjudgement opens your heart theway yoga opens your body.At the end of the day, a closing session of yoga is the dessert, sweet, the icing on thecake before leaving for home, feeling full and at peace.”

“I attended Daniella’s Celebrate Spring and Shri Yoga Retreat in Costa Rica in March of 2010. Meeting Daniella for the first time, I was struck by her vibrancy, sparkling, life-filled eyes, her focused sense of purpose, her passion for the present moment, and her deep connection to others. I must give enormous credit to Daniella’s ability to bring about a resonant feeling in each individual by embodying the meaning of Anusara which means to “be in the flow,” “flowing with Grace,” “to follow your heart.” In the exquisite course of graceful dance, Daniella managed to open our eyes by waking our wide shut hearts and to get us close to our realization that we are SHRI and to the complete recognition of our oneness with the Absolute, as the Absolute, and to the fullness of grace, joy, love, knowledge, and power that such realization confers. I am most grateful for this incredible inspiration to recognize this absolute oneness with the infinite universal creative power to help the cessation of miseries and suffering and  to attain vibrant health and lasting happiness. Thank you, Daniella, for this precious gift, for sharing your passionate vision and your rare talents with us. It feels good to be Shri.  I wish you all the very best on your path and keep spread the good energy and sparkling grace.”

~Veronica Razuvaeva, Washington DC.

“Daniella is an incredible and gifted teacher and it was a joy to attend her recent yoga retreat. Daniella is fun and leads her classes with playfulness, and generosity. Not only is she able to clearly articulate what is required for each position she expertly uses her own body to demonstrate proper alignment and form. She also provides insight into the history and philosophy of yoga which adds potency to each pose and a deeper understanding of how yoga can enrich our entire lives. Daniella’s classes are an excellent workout for anyone, regardless of level. I highly recommend her as a teacher.”

~Amelia Warren, Canada

“Daniella is a dedicated and passionate teacher of Anusara philosophy and alignment principles. Her love of the practice came through fully as she guided us through a week-long journey of exploring the ways Anusara philosophy is embodied and expressed physically, and gave great hands-on assists to help bring this into our body awareness. A retreat with Daniella was a gift of time to be with myself in the practice of opening my heart, discovering new ways of moving in my body, and a sweet time to share with others in laughter, learning, and play.  I am so grateful for Daniella’s clear guidance and committed presence in each of our sessions, and her balance of pushing us to both challenge ourselves to our limits, and support us in nurturing ourselves and having fun.”

~Lauren Borowsky, Nevada City, California
