I recently had the pleasure of attending a retreat at Celestial Dance in Santa Lucía Milpas Altas, Guatemala, and it was nothing short of magical. This retreat is a hidden gem, offering the perfect blend of fitness and yoga in one of the most breathtaking settings imaginable.

What sets Celestial Dance apart is its holistic approach to wellness. The retreat seamlessly blends yoga, aerial fitness, and strength training, allowing participants to challenge their bodies while nurturing their minds. Dani is exceptionally skilled, attentive, and deeply passionate, ensuring that each session is both empowering and accessible to all levels. As a fellow yoga instructor with a fair amount of aerial experience, Dani was able to keep the classes challenging and fun while offering any modifications needed for my travelling partner. With this being a private fitness retreat, everything was customized to what our needs and skill sets were.

The meals at Celestial Dance were incredible—wholesome, flavorful, and nourishing. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared with fresh, local ingredients, catering to a health-conscious and vegetarian-friendly lifestyle. The accommodations were equally wonderful, offering cozy, comfortable spaces with spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and lush greenery. Classes were held outdoors in a lovely covered patio area so we could enjoy the beautiful scenery and spring weather.

Celestial Dance is more than just a retreat—it’s a transformative experience. Whether you're looking to reset your mind, strengthen your body, or reconnect with yourself, this is the perfect place to do it. I left feeling stronger, more centered, and deeply inspired—and I can’t wait to return! Highly recommended! Everything far exceeded all expectations!

So much fun! I schedule a private lesson with Dani and she was very knowledgeable, kind and fun. The location is beautiful right in the mountains with an amazing view. I have done Aerial yoga before but Dani did spectacular in modifying the class so that it catered to both me and my friend who is a beginner. I would’ve loved to have spent more time or gone to the retreat

Beautiful and peaceful place, whether you want to relax or exercise. Great teacher who offers different options.

Attended a 3 night/4 day custom aerial yoga retreat in May 2023 with a friend. Incredible hospitality, excellent instruction, fun classes, and a great time all around. Was physically demanding and exactly what I was looking for. Dani and her husband, Jorge, take care of absolutely anything and are excellent resources for anything you might be curious about and/or side trips or experiences you might be interested in. They are wonderful, involved hosts and make for a fantastic experience. Classes included aerial yoga, hatha-style yoga, hula-hoop (and hula-hoop yoga), and fan dancing.
