We start every day with yogic practices and a delicious breakfast at the lodge and end it with intuitive movement, meditation, or a relaxing Yin Yoga practice. In between, we will have enough time to go on adventures, connect with each other at the workshops, and enjoy nature.

Please note the program includes one day off to Travel/Adventure during the weekend.

It would be best if you took the earliest flight possible on the first retreat day or, ideally, arrived one day before since the transportation from Quito to Tena takes about 3 hrs.

Drop off at Quito´s Airport will be around 5 PM on the last retreat day, so make sure you have a flight booked at least 2 hours later than that.

After a month in Ecuador, you might not want to leave. It's okay, and you don't have to! We can help you arrange to stay longer or visit other enchanted locations before or after the retreat.

We seek to reduce CO2 emissions, so meat will not be offered on the menu.

Most of the meals will be prepared with fresh, locally sourced products from agroecological farms.

Some meals at the lodge will be vegetarian and vegan versions of traditional Ecuadorian dishes. Some meals will be taken in town where you can choose to try the local foods or stick with the veggie options.

Our bar is always at your service to order exotic fruits and organic drinks.

To get to the Amazon - Tena, first, fly into Ecuador through Mariscal Sucre International Airport (UIO) in Quito. From there, we will be ready to receive you. On the first day, we will provide the transfer from Quito to the Yoga Lodge located in Tena (a 3-hour ride).

If you choose to come some days before the retreat, we will accommodate you in your chosen destination (as long as it is near Quito). We recommend you book your flights to Quito and a hotel near its airport (we can pick you up from there) since there is usually an overnight layover.

We will provide the transfer from Tena to Quito on the last training day,
