Sometimes in life, you get exactly what you need, and this was it

My time at Doron Yoga was one of the most transformative and healing moments of my life. Sometimes in life, you get exactly what you need, and this was it. I was going through a major transition in life and decided to find a yoga teacher training. At the recommendation of a friend I came to Doron. The setting of the yoga center is absolutely breathtaking with a beautiful view of Lake Atitlan. The facilities here are well designed and have a rustic yet luxurious feel. The vegetarian food and snack bar is top notch (coming from someone who ate a decent amount of meat back home). You are very connected with nature and it’s an ideal place to dive into work with your mind and body.

The whole place is a living example of mindfulness and zen, yet practical and down to earth

I spent a week of personal retreat in the center- yoga in the morning (with an amazing view to the lake and volcanoes) and delicious healthy meals and smoothies throughout the day. The campus itself is fantastic, drowning in green, lovely cabins, hammocks spread between the trees with a small river flowing by. The staff is friendly and helpful, dedicated to provide the best experience. The whole place is a living example of mindfulness and zen, yet practical and down to earth- Doron’s attention to detail is visible both in the facilities, and in the content of center.

You will never forget seeing the sunrise every morning as you do your pranayama

I was looking for a yoga retreat that’d allow me to disconnect from my routine and would re-connect me in many other ways. DYZC was more than I could have imagined. Lake Atitlan is beautiful, the Center has the most amazing energy, Doron is perhaps the best instructor I’ve had, the food was delicious, and the staff super nice and helpful.

You will never forget seeing the sunrise every morning as you do your pranayama, and feeling the first rays of sunshine while doing yoga in the beautiful shala. Honestly, it is hard to describe…it just felt amazing.

Being immersed in such beauty on a daily basis relaxed my soul

What a blessing to have found Doron and experience the yoga and zen meditation center. Being immersed in such beauty on a daily basis relaxed my soul and allowed me time to slow down and focus on other important aspects of my life such as cultivating my yoga practice and spending more time in meditation. Doron’s approach is practical and sensible and I strongly encourage anyone dreaming of the perfect yoga retreat to make this trip.
