AWAKEN YOUR INNER POWER

We organize your onward journey from the airport or hotel to the destination on the day the retreat begins. As soon as we know your flight number and arrival time, we will organize a taxi for you. The driver will be waiting for you at the airport with a sign and your name and will take you safely to your destination. If you are already in the country, we can also pick you up from the hotel if it is in the same city as the airport or on the way to your destination. You can find out which airport is suitable for you on the retreat page. Please check the booking page for the pickup time of this event!!! For example: Santa Veronica is Cartagena or Barranquilla airport. Lake Chivor Boyaca is Bogota airport – here is an early pickup at 10 AM. We generally recommend arriving .

We want to keep the experience as personal as possible. That’s why our groups are no larger than 20 people. The average group size is 13-18 people. In addition, we come as three organizers and yoga teachers.

Our yoga classes are designed so that everyone can participate. We support beginners to better get into position with assists and simple variations. We show intermediate participants challenging variants and let professionals try out demanding postures and breathing techniques. We always provide classes at least with two teachers, one who is cueing and shows the posture, and the other one who goes around and assists.

We have a holistic approach. We mainly teach Hatha and Kriya Yoga. But we also include flow sequences, like it is done in Vinyasa for example. Our yoga classes are not purely physical, they address the emotional level and work with the energy body to release blockages and create inner peace. All teachers have many years of teaching experience and bring different styles of India together. You are very welcome to contact us directly if you want to find out more how the program is designed and how we teach.

The best preparation is a daily routine of meditation, yoga, reading, and a healthy diet. Yoga is more than a class on the mat. Yoga is a lifestyle that pervades all areas of life. Starting with physical exercises, through the things we say and the actions we perform. If you want to go deeper into the philosophy of yoga, read these books: The Bhagavad Gita translated by Jack Hawley; The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, translated and interpreted by Sri Swami Satchidananda. Try to follow a vegetarian (or Ayuvedic) diet and try to avoid drinking alcohol. Just giving up meat and alcohol will make a huge difference in your perception, ability to concentrate and powers of observation after just a few weeks.
