Just completed my first class at Dayaalu and LOVED the experience. Anne Strickland is a remarkable and talented human being. She greeted me warmly and her chanting class was transformative and so beautiful. 🙏
I can’t wait to explore the broad and inclusive offerings. Namaste

About 8 years ago while cat and chicken sitting for a friend of my friend living on Baingridge Island I discovered the Dayaalu Center. A year later, during December/January i was cat sitting for my dear friend Renata, again enjoying the various yoga classes. Many years passed, I recently had the opportunity to spend roughly two months on this beautiful tranquil picturesque island. For me the Dayaalu Center, a pure gem a perfect raw diamond is the heart of the island. I bathed in restorative yoga, yoga nidra, integral yoga, yin yoga, continued my regular kundalini practice, regretfully too little pilates, and nia which I only ventured to experience towards the end of my stay. Back pain led me to acupuncture. I did not cover everything offered at this holistic wonderful place which is much more than a yoga center. I was enlightened, enriched, rejuvenated, wholesome, relaxed and more. I am deeply grateful to Sue for creating the home of the center, the atmosphere, the excellent teachers who share with us such profound knowledge. My humble gratitude to ALL of you wonderful (mostly) women. Love&Light Elizabeth

A decades long yoga dabbler of everything from Ashtanga to Bikram to “gym” yoga, when we moved to Bainbridge Island, I searched for a yoga studio and found so much more than that in
the community that is Dayaalu Center. This calm oasis tucked into the corner at Madison and Wyatt offers weekly classes, saunas, and community workshops from acupuncture to Reiki to world renowned guests such as Shantala. I bought my unlimited two-week trial pass and never looked back. From the transcendence of Yin with Gong to the joyous dance that is Nia and the core work of Pilates, along with all the expected offerings of Hatha Flow, Integral Yoga, Music, Mantra & Meditation, and Yoga Nidra. Each class was unique, and I realized it was so much more than the movements bringing me back to Dayaalu -- it is the teachers and the fellow yogis. They encourage us to express the poses as our bodies need, gentle reminders on breath and extensions. There is a class for everyone. When I’m looking to energize I come to the mat for the challenge of Myste’s flow class or Deanna‘s Pilates where core muscles I didn’t even know I had, will talk to me, or the pure joy that is Rossella’s Nia. When it’s time to nurture, I take one of Susan‘s Yin classes, Francie‘s restorative or Melissa’s Yoga Nidra. If alignment I need, I’ll join Meg or Helen’s flow or Sue’s integral yoga. I highly recommend practicing at Dayaalu and hope to see you on the mat soon.

We had our welcome dinner for our wedding here and it was phenomenal! We had wanted to rent out a space and we couldn’t have picked a better location that accommodated our 100 guests. Monica was wonderful to work with from the start, and made sure everything went so smoothly. It was a GORGEOUS space, and was perfect for our day. Highly recommend having any event here!!!

I started going to yoga classes at Dayaalu in 2019 after suffering a head injury and needing some work on my physical balance. Little did I know it would rebalance my life. The teachers at Dayaalu are knowledgeable and caring and taught me how to listen to my body and go at my pace. The class and event offerings are diverse and high quality. I learned and grew so much there that I became a yoga teacher. Thank you Dayaalu community for healing my head, body and spirit! If you are looking for a place to grow inside and out, make this your first stop.

We found the Dayaalu Spa by chance while looking for a place to have a "Meet & Greet" for our son's destination wedding on Bainbridge Island. It was Providence indeed! The place was perfect!

Anyone who has ever had to plan such an event long distance knows that it can be quite a challenge. But Monica and Sue were very accommodating and great at anticipating our needs. They were very responsive to phone and emails. Monica was even responding while on vacation :) The Dayaalu was one-stop shopping. In addition to amazing ambiance, they had everything we needed for the event.

They gave us some fantastic decorating ideas and talk about going the extra mile! They did a sample center piece arrangement so that we could have a visual. Then they cut and dried hydrangeas so we could have them ready.

Our event was a resounding success!! Everything went as planned and everyone had a great time! But we could not have pulled it off without the help of the incredible ladies at the Dayaalu Spa. This place is more than a yoga studio...if you are looking for a venue for an intimate event...look no further. The Dayaalu Spa could be your spot.

Heartfelt thanks from Ray and Annette Nalty

I can't say enough good about Dayaalu Center. The studio continues to support the community during COVID with Zoom and recorded classes. The teachers made a tremendous effort to adapt to ZOOM while still offering exemplary instruction. Dayaalu's been a source of strength for me during COVID times. And will continue to be a big part of my life.

Can't get put in from zoom. And nobody in office at 10:44. Spose to open at 10:00. This has happened several times. Whoop.

"You bring the body you have today to the mat."

Some of them are sleek and infinitely flexible. Most of them are managing old injuries, or new limitations. All of them are welcome, are necessary, to the community created at Dayaalu.

"Community" is a word thrown around casually, and not everyone is looking for that in a yoga center: some people want to roll out their mat, sweat for an hour, clean up and get on to the next thing. More is available if it's wanted - concerts, lectures, and workshops in dazzling variety - but it's not required. Western culture often concentrates on the physical aspects of yoga, specifically those portions of the practice that will tighten one's backside. If you're looking for that, you can find it here - Emily and Helen's intermediate classes, or Francie's Friday hatha flow, leave hardened athletes on the floor.

What may be far more valuable are those sessions that eliminate the distraction of "perfecting the pose", favoring slowing movement enough that what one's body is honestly capable of, in that hour, can be recognized and accommodated: if you can twist yourself into Noose Pose , but can't take a full breath when you get there, the intention of the pose isn't being fully realized.

Yoga can equally well be practiced to make room - in the body, in the mind - to acknowledge the reality of arthritic joints, or ways of thinking that might have served a useful purpose once, but may be hindering responses to current situations. All ages and ability levels can find an offering that fits them at Dayaalu, including classes for practitioners with physical or developmental limitations: the practice serves and adapts to the individual, rather than the other way around.

I love this place. I did the beginner yoga course here when I moved to the island, and I have never been as supported and included in a space that provides yoga. Love the Tulaa Cafe too, it does the best vegan food on the island. I feel very grateful for Dayaalu and recommend it with all my heart.

Dayaalu is a beautifully designed space dedicated to yoga teachings. I love the variety of classes and teaching approaches, convenient scheduling, and level of professionalism. I'm experienced and a bit picky...I checked out several locations in my local area, and chose Dayaalu. I'm so glad I did!

I have survived everything from cancer to back surgery in the last 5 years every. I still struggle with health issues as I watch the daily prescriptions increase that mask ailments rather than solving the underlying issue. I am so grateful that this center exists on the Island. There is so much variety from varieties of health and emotional counseling to yoga. It's a wonderful one stop shop for us busy Islanders and services are surprisingly affordable. I urge anyone who is looking for alternative ways to stay on top of their health to visit Dayaalu.
