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.

Her classes are strong and options are given so that any level from beginner to advanced will be able to get the most out of her classes. She focuses on alignment through oral cues and hands-on assists. Nastasia loves spending time in nature, surfing and stewards land.

She received her 200 hour certification from Narayani of Paraiso Yoga in Sayulita (2018), and her 50 hour Yin Yoga certification from Maria Abad of Paraiso Yoga (2023).

Pierre
With over a decade of teaching experience, Pier brings passion, precision, and positivity to every class she leads. Her journey began in 2004 after recovering from spinal surgery, when she discovered Pilates and barre as a safe, effective, and empowering way to rebuild strength. She was instantly hooked — not just by the physical results, but by the sense of connection and balance these practices inspired. After years as a dedicated student, Pier became a certified instructor in 2016.
