WHY CHOOSE THIS HEALING RETREAT?

The retreat is surrounded by beautiful forests and the magical Tepozteco Mountain Range, which is the birthplace of Quetzalcoatl the Feathered-Serpent god of the Aztecs. This place is considered a powerful energy vortex for spiritual awakening. It is embedded in nature and its healing energy is uniquely supportive of the YogAya transformational retreat. The center is the perfect getaway from the bustling city vibes straight into peace, silence and tranquility. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable and they come with an exceptional panorama of the surrounding mountain peaks.

As a team of five with our shaman, teachers and healers, we have spent decades dedicated to optimizing the human experience on the path of self-actualisation through exploration of consciousness via mantra, yoga, meditation, breathwork, chi gong, plant medicine, music, art, healthy lifestyle, and self-discipline. We have carefully curated a protocol that is designed to give you full support that consists of in-depth preparation, expert and safe guidance in the ceremonies, and wisdom teachings/coaching during the entire retreat to help you see and understand your conscious and subconscious behavioral patterns that play out day-to-day.

Your safety is our number one priority and we make sure that you are able to anchor your experience back into reality without difficulties and achieve a long-lasting, life-changing development after your departure and beyond. Our intention is to provide you with all the simple yet very effective spiritual tools that will assist you to create and maintain a well-balanced mental state, using regular self-observation, integration of emotional healing and the release of energetic blocks and trauma.

We are dedicated to aiding the ascension of the human collective consciousness by facilitating the healing of every individual who is ready and willing to do the work of self-realignment through the combination of powerful tools of yogic techniques and indigenous shamanic wisdom. This mission has inspired us to create experiences that can…

Give the cells back their healing memory

Cleanse trapped emotions, psyche and physical body

Re-instate new healthy patterns on all levels in daily life

Experience the bliss of your own perfectly imperfect divinity

Educate on health and introduce many lifestyle tips for a life rejuvenated

Gift specific breath and meditation tools you can take away with you

During the retreat, Ayahuasca gives back your cells' memory so your body can heal and rejuvenate as it needs unique to you. A lot can be cleared energetically, which can shift unhealthy patterns, desires and choices in daily life.

We offer a number of healing modalities inclusive such as Chi Gong, transcendental breathwork, classical pranayama, yoga, ayurvedic and deep tissue massage as well as Temazcal, a traditional sweat lodge, and ice bath to further support and uplift your experience.

Our experience has been a personal reboot where you are left feeling alert, open, joyous and lighter often accompanied by many transformative life experiences due to fresh personal realisations, making way for a happier and healthier life.

SSRIs, SNRIs and MAOIs, are not compatible with Ayahuasca and are therefore dangerous.

Powerful, kind and playful
If you aren't immediately won over by the warmth of Le Jai La's smile, then surely you will be won over by her tireless efforts to help you on your journey. Her insights are powerful and her intentions to be of service to you are pure. She has a way of making one feel safe to explore and heal, and is always available to provide integration feedback and/or next step recommendations. Le Jai La is a gem of a person and I am so thankful that I got to work with her twice!

Excellent, caring and insightful
This was my second time attending Tapovan's retreat. Both experiences were unique and transformational, yet the steady guidance of Tapovan was at the center of both experiences. He is patient and truly makes you feel as though he is there to be of service to you on your journey. He is full of wisdom and shares it freely. His willingness to listen and ask questions helped me break through some barriers I wasn't even aware existed. His positive approach to helping us reach our highest potential is infectious. I highly recommend you take the opportunity to work with Tapovan!

Patient, Intuitive, Talented
I've had the pleasure of ceremony with Shaman Mano twice. He's incredible. He is patient in attending to your needs, intuitive in his words and songs, and a truly talented musician. I highly recommend doing a ceremony with Mano!

When 5 stars isn't enough
This was my second time with Tapovan, LaJaiLa, Mano and Barbara. The first experience was so exceptional that I came back for more. What strikes me about this group is the attention, care, patience and level of service provided. At all times, I genuinely felt it was their pleasure to be of service to their participants.

Tapovan and LaJaiLa are an excellent team that guide you through the day to day experiences - yoga, breath work and guided meditations are the backbone of the daily work. Their service in ceremony is a wonder to experience. Their integration circle insights and constant availability for one on one conversations demonstrate their unwavering support for an individuals growth and transformation goals. Mano and Barbara were our noble guides in ceremony with intuitive leadership and the most incredible live music you may ever experience. Collectively, they are kind and powerful healers that work hard to create and maintain a safe place for you to do the work.

Look, I could rave about them on many different levels but who wants to read all of that?! Instead, I'll leave you with one final thought. If you're in search of personal growth, healing and/or transformational guidance, you could not find a better group than this.

Very professional guidance, sacred and deep dive into the subconsciousness.
I would like to say about this retreat that it is the real deal. The guides/shamans are professional and know how to work with the medicine and energies. The beautiful live music during the ceremonies is amazing and very supportive of the process. The food is amazing, the beds are comfortable, and the healing space outside is designed to do this inner work in. Besides that, this retreat has a very well organized schedule with activities that complement each other. The yoga, breath work, temazcal and one ice bath between the ceremonies are an additional help with the integration.
