Loved everything about it! Montezuma is beautiful with lots of great beaches and spots to enjoy the nature and animals. My room in Hotel Los Mangos was to a high standard but also very cute and comfortable, and everyone from the hotel was kind and helpful. Most importantly, the yoga instructors are great - experienced and knowledgeable, but still warm, friendly, and dedicated to helping every student. I also did the surfing, which I'd like wholeheartedly recommend. The surf instructor Mauricio was fantastic - he is so patient and a very good teacher; I got much further than I thought I would. Being in Montezuma with this program did me a world of good; I couldn't ask for a better way to relieve all the stress from back home. I hope I'll get to do it again!
I celebrated my 40th birthday with the yoga & surf package over a year ago. I still think about it daily. When someone says, think of your happy place, my mind immediately goes to Montezuma. I will definitely be back, as soon as I can get there.
Montezuma yoga is a beautiful place with exceptional yoga teachers. It is more than teaching asanas, it is a holistic experience. They bring an equanimous and loving presence to each class. I will come back again!
Dagmar and Silvia are two of the best yoga teachers I ever had the pleasure to take class with. I came back to Montezuma last winter to take an intensive two month course with them. After two months my muscular issues had disappeared and balance has taken their place. Their knowledge of inner balance, anatomy, flexibility, and strength are special gifts they articulate clearly and efficiently. I can't recommend this yoga studio highly enough. Thank you both for everythingoxo
Yoga with Dagmar with Daniel was such a treat. We went on an evening when Daniel played hang drum and the best word I can think to describe the experience is transcendental. With both the instrument and the ease of Dagmar's instruction, I felt any tension in my body and in my mind melt away. Dagmar's years and years of experience have certainly created a comfortable yoga environment, for both beginners and experienced yogis. The atmosphere of Montezuma yoga was also comfortable, welcoming and soothing - with the sounds of the ocean in the background and the gentle hum of rain on the roof. The end of the evening was graced with a sudden rainstorm, one of which we did savasana the whole way through. Thank you, Montezuma Yoga!
Montezuma yoga, tucked off the main road underneath a small grove of mango trees that's frequently visited by monkeys, is a rustic gem in this small Costa Rican town. This outdoor yoga studio offers the sights and sounds of the nearby ocean waves, tropical birds and sometimes the calls of howler monkeys. You are greeted warmly into the studio by talented and friendly yoga teachers into an inviting space of hardwood floors and a thatched roof; a space one immediately feels at home in. Candle light sunset yoga accompanied with the music of a Hang drum is not to be missed.
Taking a class or doing a yoga treat at Montezuma Yoga is a life changing experience. There is nothing quite like Dagmar's yoga classes in the entire world. The studio is amazing in the tropics and you hear the ocean waves. It is perfect for both beginners and advanced yogis. I made some of my best friends in this studio over 6 years. If you have a chance to go, don't hesitate. Love this place and everything about it!
