Join Moksha Yoga Amazónica for an intimate one-week yoga retreat in the Peruvian Amazon, with experiential excursions to Tingana Eco-Reserve and a Karma Yoga Volunteering Service Project teaching yoga to kids and conducting a beach clean up. Through daily yoga and meditation practices, singing mantras, and exploring nature, tap into your primal energy and creative force! This offering is dedicated to everyone who are longing for a reconnection to themselves and nature. Our retreats take place during our 200 hour yoga teacher training courses, and as such, in addition to pranayama, meditation, and asana practices, you can sit on any of the training’s theoretical lectures on yoga philosophy, teaching methodology, etc. None of the practices, lectures, activities or excursions are mandatory, and you are free to attend whichever you prefer and relax whenever you wish to.
Whether you are beginning your yoga journey or are an advanced practitioner searching to expand your knowledge, this teacher training will deepen your yoga practice, detox your body and mind, and bring you confidence and inspiration to become a joyful and knowledgeable yoga teacher.
Located in the spectacular Kantu Garden Lodge in the warm and dry jungle of Moyobamba, with a plethora of flowers, scents, and soundscapes, hummingbirds and monkeys visit throughout the day, organic fruits grow on the property, and morning mist make this jungle oasis a surreal and ideal place to complete your yoga teacher training.

Moksha Yoga Amazónica prepares you to become a yoga teacher specialized in Vinyasa Flow and Yin yoga. This combines the energetic flowing movements of Vinyasa with the stillness of Yin yoga.
This training is composed of theoretical and practical knowledge presented in an interactive and experiential way in order for you to become confident in leading mixed-level safe and creative classes to the public, all while gaining tools to deepen your personal yoga practice and advance to the next level. You will learn all this in the idyllic location that is the Amazon rainforest and jungle of Moyobamba, surrounded by nature, flowers, and wildlife.
The teaching team focuses on forming yoga teachers who teach more than simply asanas to their students, but who also live a life that is consistent with yogic values, off-the-mat.

The teachings are combined with the physical and spiritual body and mind cleansing and detoxification techniques, incorporating Ayurvedic Abhyanga massage and self-care routines to activate and align the Nadis (energy lines) and chakras (vortexes of energy located over the main endocrine glands).
