"Ama naturaleza" yoga vacation

At Tambo Ilusión, we offer the program "Ama Naturaleza" (Love nature), which is a 5-day yoga vacation in the jungle. This wellness retreat offers the perfect opportunity to connect with your Self and nature by slowing down, breathing fresh air, eating delicious fresh food, observing the present moment and developing physical and mental health. Practice relaxing and reducing stress in your life through a program based on a yoga practice and a healthy lifestyle and diet.

Visualize yourself...

After your morning yoga session and breakfast, enjoy a swim in the beautiful private lagoon, walk along the trail of the protected forest and hug a tree, receive a Reiki treatment, etc. What you choose to do is completely up to you. It's your choice how much or how little you do during your stay with us. You will have the possibility of joining Johanne on a stroll to accompany Ayla, our horse to her paddock and feed her. On the way, you'll stop at a viewpoint where you will enjoy admiring the breathtaking sunset and the horse peacefully grazing while enjoying a healthy drink.

These are all great ways to treat your "nature deficit disorder".

All of the above activities are included and are also optional. If you prefer, you can simply lounge in a hammock reading, do a bit of bird watching, take a siesta or do whatever it is your heart desires. Essentially, the experience is yours to create. Hatha yoga classes will be held twice daily with the morning session being an uplifting, energizing class and the afternoon session designed to calm and restore mind, body and spirit.

Wholesome vegetarian meals are prepared 3 times daily. Meals are shared in our house family style. Fruits and vegetables are fresh and seasonal. Some of the fruit come from our own trees (citrus, papayas, mangoes, bananas, star fruit...). Special dietary needs can be accommodated with advanced notice.

We offer the opportunity to participate in Ayahuasca (a sacred plant of the Amazon) session(s) during your stay for an extra cost.

The "Ama naturaleza" package includes:

• 4 nights' cozy accommodation

• Daily vegetarian breakfasts, lunches and suppers

• filtered drinking water

• Daily yoga classes (total of 8 classes)

• Guided nature walk in the protected forest of Tambo Ilusion

• A complimentary Reiki session to help balance the chakras (30 minutes)

• An excursion to the Awashiyacu waterfalls, the main tourist attraction of the region

• A happy hour sunset equine-imity stroll

• Free time for swimming in the amazing fresh water lagoon, reading, journaling, relaxing...

You will be encouraged to keep a journal for the week. Suggestions and writing exercises will be provided to get you started.

"After hundreds of hours of health coaching and training, I've learned that, without a doubt, attending a wellness retreat is one of the best things you can do to create a dramatic shift in your life. Being in an environment where you can focus and make a commitment to your well-being, can alter your life forever in the most amazing ways. As you spend several days moving closer to a "new" way of being, you are actually announcing to the Universe that you are ready to live this way permanently".

- Sarah Anne Stewart

It is wrong to believe that one is not sufficiently flexible to practice yoga. Those who are not flexible are ideal candidates to begin a yoga practice. There is no competition involved in yoga, least of all with yourself. Everyone works from their own body awareness giving the best of himself.

For those who simply wish to accompany their partner during this yoga retreat, it is indeed possible.

It is also possible to visit tourist attractions of the region during the stay with us (at an extra cost).
