Awaken Your Inner Sacred Guide: My Journey of Sacred Embodiment at Danyasa

Beautiful Yogini, Goddess, Shakti, Queen, Divine Woman— I want to share with you a message about returning to your Sacred Soul. Sacred Embodiment

One of the sacred technologies I use in my life is an ancient practice of Yoga.

Yoga has been my anchor, my path, and my greatest teacher. It has led me across the world, guiding and mentoring others through transformational practices, local and international classes and retreats, and bringing me home to myself again and again. Through all my travels, there is one place that has held me in a way no other has—Danyasa. This sacred eco retreat space in Dominical, Costa Rica has become my refuge, my inspiration, and a mirror for my own transformation, initiation and rebirth!

Yoga: A Journey Back to Your Sacred Self

From the moment I first stepped into the Danyasa Temple, I felt something activating within me. It wasn’t just the beauty of the bamboo sanctuary, the lush jungle surroundings, or the soothing sound of the river nearby. It was the energy—the feeling of being held in safety, of stepping into something sacred, ancient, and deeply mystical.

Yoga has always been a practice and a path of remembrance for me. A way to return home to myself, to my truth, and to the wisdom of my own body. But this path isn’t always light and easy. It asks us to meet our shadows, to sit with discomfort, and to move through what keeps us small and afraid.

There were times in my journey where I felt disconnected, uncertain, or caught in old patterns. Yet, in the stillness of my practice, in the deep breaths and sacred movements on my mat, I always find my way back. And every time I returned to Danyasa, I felt a deep sense of coming home—to the land, to the practice, and to my Soul.

This place holds a multidimensional power of reclamation and retrieval of your Sacred Soul.

The Sacred Alchemy of Embodiment

Over the years, I have witnessed incredible transformations—not only in myself but in the women I have guided. There is something profoundly powerful about gathering in sisterhood, about moving and breathing together, about reclaiming our divine feminine essence through sacred embodiment.

Danyasa has been the backdrop for some of my deepest initiations and awakenings. It is here that I have guided women to shed layers of doubt and fear, to step into their radiance, and to remember the power and remember their purpose that has always lived within them.

Each retreat, each circle, each moment of stillness in this space has been a lesson in trust, surrender, and the magic of the divine feminine flow.

Why I Return to This Sacred Space

I have traveled far and wide, yet Danyasa calls me back time and time again. It is a place where the sacred and the playful intertwine. Where deep soul work meets the joy of embodiment. Where we dance, we pray, we breathe, we rise. We REMEMBER.

For me, this epic journey has never been just about teaching yoga—it has been about living it, breathing it, and embodying it in a way that feels deeply organic and authentic. It has been about holding sacred and safe space for others to awaken to their own power, while always staying devoted to my own path of mastery, mystery and remembrance.

The Gifts of This Path are Profound

The profound practices of Yoga held at Danyasa hold sacred offerings for you…

A deep remembrance of who you truly are and why you are here.
A space to heal, evolve, and transform into the next highest level of you.
A sisterhood of incredible women supporting one another and walking this path together. Sacred Embodiment

I have personally experienced life-changing initiations held at Danyasa, moving through most exquisite transmutations, while holding space for others in their own transformation.

I share this story not as a teacher, but as a woman who has been through the fire of transformation and emerged with more love, grace, devotion and reverence for this sacred journey.

An Invitation to the Sacred

If my story resonates with you, if you feel the pull toward something deeper, I invite you to listen. To trust. To follow the whispers of your soul. Whether it’s through yoga, retreat, or simply carving out space for yourself to return to your own essence—know that you are held, you are guided, and you are infinitely powerful.

Wherever you are on your path, may you always remember: Your body is a temple. Your essence is divine. Your journey is sacred.

With love and devotion,
Anya Devi
