Overview

You will truly be immersed in the heart of the Amazon jungle as passionate yoga teachers guide you into an experience of unwinding. They will unleash your voices and move your bodies. This is a visceral, sensory, and somatic exploration. A true moment of connection to yourself, to your community, and to nature.

A time to resource while releasing the residual tension that accumulates in your modern lives and to learn tools and practices to take back home with you.

 

This retreat is for you if you are seeking:

• Wilderness and immersion in nature

• Connection to community

• To tune into your intuition

• To reconnect to your body and voice

• To deepen your yoga and meditation practice

• An adventure in the Amazon jungle

 

Fluidity: Vinyasa yoga

The Sanskrit word ‘Vinyasa’ translates as “to place in a special way,” and Vinyasa yoga is thus characterized by fluidly stringing asana postures together with each movement synchronized with the breath. The style is vigorous and movement-intensive based on a continuous flow from one asana to the next and offers a wide variety of postures which means that. Unlike the rigidity of Ashtanga yoga sequences, no two Vinyasa classes are ever alike.

Faster-paced than Hatha yoga, Vinyasa yoga classes involve progressively increasing body heat - and sweat - and building strength. It teaches you to cultivate an awareness that links each action to the next, both on the mat and in your lives. During this training, you will learn Vinyasa yoga methods to assess the needs of individual students or groups, and then build a complementary, step-by-step practice to meet those needs.

In addition to the postures you will learn during Hatha yoga classes (many of which transpose into Vinyasa), you will practice Ashtanga sun salutations A and B, plank pose, four-limbed staff pose, cat-cow stretches, side plank, cobra, grasshopper, as well as many other and more advanced asanas such as arm balances, headstands, inversions, and handstands techniques.

 

Gravity: Yin yoga

While the majority of yoga styles deriving from Hatha yoga are known as "yang" styles for their vigorous and flow-based approach to movement that mainly targets muscles, there is another, equally important and often neglected style that is opposite: Yin yoga. Where you focus on deep connective tissues, like the fascia, ligaments, joints, and bones, and on releasing tension, tightness, on relaxing body, breath, and on exploring stillness.

Yin yoga is a slow and gentle practice where you're holding postures for 3 to 5 or more minutes, stretching less-often used tissues, finding comfort in your edge and turning inward, tuning into your breath and your thoughts.

Props? Yes, please! Bolsters, blankets, blocks, and eye pillows support practitioners restricted in certain movements, and allows for a more meditative practice. Yin Yoga offers various opportunities for deepening one's practice. From physical stretching to quieting the mind, these can support sitting in meditation practice for longer periods of time. 

​

Ecstatic Dance

Ecstatic dance is a freeform movement practice that encourages individuals to connect with their bodies, emotions, and spirit through rhythm and music. Unlike structured forms of dance, ecstatic dance is guided by the natural flow of energy, allowing participants to express themselves authentically without judgment or limitation. Set in a safe and welcoming environment, this practice promotes a deep sense of freedom, release, and connection, both within oneself and with the surrounding community. The experience often leads to a heightened state of awareness, emotional release, and a profound sense of joy and inner peace, making it a transformative and uplifting journey.

 

 

Digital detox: Time to disconnect

The teachers encourage you during this retreat to take time off your screens, especially your phone. While the digital detox is optional, part of unwinding and connecting to nature is disconnecting from technology and the distractions and demands that often come with it.

If you are ready to go full detox, great! If you have commitments or responsibilities that require you to use your phone, they ask that you do not bring it to meals, practices in the shala, and that you consciously try to limit your screen time.

 

Master plants medicine: Optional Ayahuasca ceremony

Taking place on the 28th evening of each of the retreat, this Ayahuasca ceremony is available to those who wish to stay an extra night, and will be held in an atmospheric space (the yoga shala) which contains a mattress, a blanket, cushions and bolsters for each participant, allowing you to comfortably lie down.

The ceremony starts with the establishment of your intentions. During the 5 to 7 hour journey, you will be carried away by accompanying icaros (traditional plant medicine signing) and you will be supported by a loving, experienced curandero or shaman and a spanish speaking angel who will translate the shaman and serve as your assistant guide. 

Their curandero / shaman is further familiar with spiritual and energetic work and has a lot of experience in life, in drinking Psilohuasca / Ayahuasca, and in guiding ceremonies. The individual process of each participant is the starting point and the guidance will be matched to the need at that time.

​

​

During this magical week full of activities, you are free to attend the activities and practices of your choice; none are mandatory! You can either relax by the pool, explore Moyobamba's markets and street-art, perhaps get a massage, or dive deeper into the tools you will be learning with them.

​

We welcomes all men, women, non-binary, and the whole spectrum of self-identity. This retreat is open to all levels, whether you are a beginner or a regular student of yoga, you will find various benefits from the practices we will share with you. We simply ask you to be curious and to come with an open mind and an open heart.
