Montañita, Ecuador – the place I’ve called home for almost two weeks now. Montañita may be known as a party town, but I’m here for quite the opposite – 200 hour yoga teacher training. 

In the one and a half weeks of training, I’ve learned Vedic chants, Sanskrit, yoga sutras, how to sequence a class… oh and I’ve already co-taught TWO classes (practice makes perfect y’all). My days have been filled with nonstop yoga. And when I’m not in class, I’m either planning a class to teach or humming yoga sutras (or let’s be real, eating!). However, I have found time to enjoy more than just the yoga studio (though it is quite lovely)!

Looking for what do in Montañita that doesn’t involve staying up all night partying? These five things should have you covered on how to spend a few days (or even a few weeks!) in this small beach town.
