Discover a unique approach to yoga unlike any other retreat experience. Our practice transcends traditional settings, as we journey to the Sacred Inca power places to harness their profound energy. In contrast to confining yoga within the confines of a retreat, we believe in the transformative power of practicing amidst the ancient “Inca wakas,” where the energy is at its zenith.
Throughout history, cultures worldwide have sought to unite spirit, mind, and body. In the Andes, evidence abounds of advanced yoga practices among the Incas and pre-Incas, showcasing a profound integration with the Earth. Meditations aligned with celestial events and the alignment of the sun and sacred temples were conduits for accessing vital energy, known as MIsHA, fostering the harmonious flow of energy, or Amaru (snake), through the power centers, or Poqpos (chakras) in Quechua.
Andean yoga is the culmination of this ancient wisdom, merging traditional yoga principles with the rich tapestry of the Andean cosmovision. The benefits of Andean yoga are manifold, fostering increased resilience, strength, agility, flexibility, cellular detoxification, heightened sensitivity, creativity, balance, and self-assurance, enabling individuals to realize their full potential.
Conducted amidst the breathtaking altitudes of over 12,000 feet above sea level, our practice takes place in the heart of the Sacred Valley of the Incas, offering pristine air and an escape from urban pollution. Endorsed by international yoga institutions, our approach is enriched by expert instructors from diverse backgrounds, including esteemed local professors from Cusco, ensuring an authentic and profound experience steeped in the Andean ethos.
