Sustainability Module: Yoga Retreats offer a unique opportunity to become still, dive deep and reconnect. Connecting with ourselves opens the door for us to connect to life and the world we live in on a deeper level. This can feel like coming home, but can also be painful as we become fully aware of the pain that exists on our planet and how our collective actions have contributed to it. This includes the state of our ecosystem and other urgent issues we are facing on a global level. It is easy to close our eyes towards painful experiences, or become angry and judgmental towards ourselves and others. This module gives you tools to stay connected and compassionate while empowering yourself through positive action. Together we will embark on an inward journey applying yoga, forgiveness and self-discovery techniques to reveal practical ways you can share your heart’s calling and create a positive impact. The insights and connection gained during this module will be combined with practical tools to apply in your daily life and share with your community. We support you in joining our tribe of strong-hearted individuals who are passionate about our planet and ready to take steps towards a sustainable way of living for all.

Local Sustainability Project: In the middle of the week, we will go on a daytrip, joining a beautiful local project that plants the seeds of environmental consciousness in local hosts, visitors and (future) policy makers. Their work is invaluable in the maintenance of this amazing eco-system that serves us all and allows initiatives like organic coffee, bee-keeping, horticulture and eco-tourism to flourish. A guide will accompany us on a walk through the environmental education area as we learn about the environment and the different benefits the biodiversity offers us. During the walk we will stop at a beautiful natural swimming spot, cooling off in the clear water. And of course you get to enjoy a lovely local lunch.

The Retreat

Peru is high on the bucket list of many avid travelers and with good reason! This amazing country has so much to offer and offers beautiful options for the conscious yoga traveler.

On this retreat, you get to take a break, connect with nature and explore your yoga practice on and off the mat. Steffi guides you through daily yoga sessions that will allow you to slow down and follow your inner road map during this week. The workshop-style morning classes offer a strong and focused practice combined with deep meditation. The evening classes focus on the yin qualities of the practice. Slow movement and longer holds in the poses allow your body to release tension and prepare you for a good night sleep in the jungle. Bring your journal and get ready for some inner explorations and reflections.
Through the daily practices and the day-trip we connect deeply to nature and the environment we are a part of. Enjoying the beautiful smells and sounds of the jungle while practicing in an open yoga space. Including our amazing surroundings in our practice we allow the powerful energy of the Peruvian forest to change the way we look at ourselves, our lives and the world we live in.

The yoga sessions are combined a sustainability module and a day trip through the beautiful rainforest mountains where we get to learn about the importance of biodiversity and the sustainable initiatives we can support in the area. Elements that all enhance each other, leaving a lasting impact and making this a journey to never forget! Together we move towards a more connected and holistic way of living.

In your free time, you can relax in a hammock, go for nature walks, visit nearby towns or just relax with a good book.
