July 8 - 12, 2026

Join us in Tena, Ecuador – on the edge of the Amazon rainforest — for a deeply immersive yoga retreat designed to reconnect you with nature, community, and your own inner rhythm. This retreat invites you to slow down, breathe deeper, and experience yoga beyond the mat—surrounded by lush jungle, flowing water, and ancient wisdom. Set within the fertile rainforest of Tena, our retreat unfolds in harmony with the land. Expect daily yoga practices held in an open-air shala overlooking the forest canopy, nourishing vegetarian meals prepared with intention, and space to rest, reflect, and listen. Each day is thoughtfully curated, balancing structured offerings with spacious free time so you can explore, integrate, or simply be.
