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.

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.

"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

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.
