Reviews for Donna Jill Castro

I attended Donna’s Fall Sound Bath online and was honestly surprised by how grounding and effective the experience was, even through a virtual format. From the start, Donna created a calm, welcoming structure that made it easy to settle in and stay present. The sound work was layered, steady, and thoughtfully paced, which helped quiet my mind and release tension without feeling forced or distracting. What really stood out to me was how connected the session felt. Even though it was online, I felt genuinely engaged with Donna and aware of the shared group experience, something that is rare in everyday Zoom conversations, let alone wellness sessions. Her energy is calming but also encouraging, which made the experience feel supportive rather than passive. I finished the session feeling more centered, relaxed, and mentally clear, with effects that carried into the rest of my day. If you are looking for a sound bath that is both soothing and practical, and that actually translates well in an online setting, Donna offers something that feels intentional, accessible, and deeply grounding.

I recently attended Donna’s gratitude sound bath and was deeply moved by the experience. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and serene. Donna’s expertly created a space of peace and positive energy, making it incredibly easy to let go of daily stresses and truly focus on gratitude. The harmonious sounds of the crystal bowls and gong, rain stick, koshi chimes and tingsa bells washed over me, a truly unique and meditative experience. It was a beautiful reminder to pause and appreciate the present moment. I left the session feeling refreshed, centered, and filled with a profound sense of calm and well-being. If you are looking for a gentle yet powerful way to practice mindfulness and self-care, I highly recommend Donna’s sound baths. She is so kind and thoughtful, and pours her heart in all of her offerings. It is truly a gift to yourself that you won't regret. Thank you so much Donna for creating such a nurturing and supportive environment! I can’t wait for the next one! xoxo ~Izzie

The Fall equinox soundbath with Donna was amazing! It was held at a perfect time, with her guiding me to set my intentions in welcoming Autumn. She has a way in her that makes you feel very comfortable, especially helpful when you need to destress! My favorite part was the crystal bowls and I cannot wait for the next one!

I love everything about Donna’s class. I like that she isn’t forceful and simply “instructs”. She meets you where you are at and gives you the space to grow and learn. Just hearing her voice makes me calm and at peace, from that core of her existence, I am able to benefit from what yoga teachings has to offer. Just wonderful, Donna !

Absolutely loved Donna’s gentle yoga class! She made us laugh every now and then with her funny remarks in between instructions! I loved that, it’s jokes and joy! very uplifting. This class is perfect for someone looking to unwind after a long work day and she gave modified options for those in the class with injuries. If you want to feel rejuvenated, laugh, and unwind, take her class!

Donna is the person I only go to for my yoga needs. She made yoga fun and a part of my daily lifestyle ever since I took her classes. I've issues with stiffness, and with her guidance and patience, I'm so much more versatile. I look forward to her lessons and also she teaches me to be more mindful of my surroundings which keeps me more in tune with my daily life.

My partner recommended Donna’s practice since Donna has lots of surf experience as well. She took the time to understand my level and not speed me up through poses. I like her chill, unpretentious practice and positive vibe! Def will have more sessions.

Donna’s gentle yoga class has been the perfect way for me to unwind after a long day at work. I like the way she switches up her sequences and I always walk away from her classes learning something new. I’ve enjoyed her online, in person, and sunset yoga on the beach classes. I am excited to see what she offers next, Thanks Donna.

Absolute life saver! I suffer from lower back pain and sciatica - Donna showed me so many amazing hip openers and helped me understand how breath work can calm the nervous system. She is a gifted healer with an amazing intuition about the human body. Thank you Donna!!! I am back to surfing with no pain and much better confidence in preventing future injuries!!! 🌊💯🦋🌹
