Experienced & highly qualified teachers
In 2017 Graziella opened the Sayulita Yoga Center, driven by a passion to create a space where people could connect, grow, and build a conscious community. She envisioned Sayulita as a place where mindfulness, health, and wellness could thrive, and the yoga center became a cornerstone of that vision. The challenges brought on by COVID-19, particularly the anxiety it created in young people, highlighted the need for spaces where we can come together and find peace. At Sayulita Yoga Center, we offer a variety of yoga classes and special events such as full and new moon ceremonies and sound baths to support practice and well-being. We also provide dance classes for local children given our focus on nurturing the community. Our experienced teachers bring wisdom from various yoga traditions to help you find balance, strength, and mindfulness on and off the mat.
