This Yoga Holiday offers you the opportunity to begin or deepen your Yoga practice, whilst you may enjoy sightseeing, walks, and sufficient free time to rest or do your own thing. All activities are optional and we are flexible to adjust our programs to your personal needs. Join us for a Yoga Holiday in Peru at the Andean Spirit Lodge, a tranquil place, conducive to rest and contemplation. Here you may breathe fresh air and enjoy the beautiful scenery surrounding you, like the majestic snowy peak of Mount Humantay, whilst letting yourself be pampered with delicious and healthy vegetarian meals. All retreats are private and personalized.
Andean Spirit Lodge practice and teach Hatha Yoga using the Sivananda style. The Yoga classes last for 1 hour each and consist of a combination of postures, breathwork, and relaxation. Previous knowledge of Yoga is not necessary. In the mornings, you have the option to participate in meditation with devotional chants, mantras, and readings of the teachings of Swami Sivananda or other masters.
