About this Retreat
Mano is a plant medicine shaman, a healer and singer from an ancestral lineage of Amazonian Shuar healing traditions in Ecuador. He has been working with plant medicine for over 20 years and guides people with ancestral Shuar ayahuasca songs and traditional instruments such as the Shuar violin, vocal harp, drum, flutes and harmonicas.
Mano also performs ‘Temazcal’ sweat lodge ceremonies, sauna healings and holistic massages with warm oils of Ayurvedic Abhyanga and shamanic methods. He works with Barbara, a professional harp player dedicated to singing and medicine music, and Juanito, an assisting ceremony healer, a medicine singer and a master musician.
Since Tapovan's teenage years, he was fascinated by the supernatural. He knew there was much more to life than what meets the eye.
He was eager to find out what lies beyond the ordinary perception so he started inquiring into the nature of existence through yoga and meditation.
This quest eventually led him to India where he studied with his gurus and enlightened masters for several years absorbing their infinite wisdom and compassion.
They kindled the smoldering fire within him which became a burning desire to know and to experience. He realized that he needed to fully dedicate his life to the path of self-discovery and help others also to reconnect with their own inner bliss and freedom.
Intellectual knowledge is always limited regardless of how much you know but inner wisdom has an infinite nature, it is boundless. It is the knowledge worth attaining because once you “know thyself” you understand the entirety of Creation.
She works with sacred plants and modalities to help others come back into alignment. She is a coach, consultant, reiki master, herbalist, teacher, writer and channel who accesses the Akashic Records. Le’ Jai’ La has worked in wellness and with entheogenic plants for the past twelve years, studying with indigenous wisdom keepers and learning traditional healing techniques from teachers worldwide.
As a coach she helps guide clients through a transformative journey to align with their mission and supports psychedelic integration. Her studies range from curanderismo, Native American, African healing, and shamanic practices to yoga, sound meditations, and more. Her diverse understanding of various traditional methods allows her to bridge the connection of ancient technology with modern practices to empower individuals to take healing back into their own hands with a practical plan to realign them with their true essence.

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.
