8 Day Personalized Yoga and Detox Retreat in the Cloud Forest of Ecuador

Casa Verde is a sanctuary of peace and healing, situated on 5 acres of lush cloud forest along the banks of the Mindo River in Ecuador. For over 15 years, this retreat has perfected a program that blends physical wellness, mental clarity, and spiritual connection. The retreat philosophy is rooted in the belief that true health comes from aligning with nature—both your own inner nature and the natural world around you. The small capacity of just three guests ensures unparalleled privacy, attention, and a safe, clean environment where you can fully let go.

Each day begins with a personalized one-on-one yoga session in the open-air tree-level yoga studio, where the sounds of the forest accompany your practice. Wendy's expertise spans a wide range of yoga styles, from Ashtanga to Vinyasa, and she adeptly customizes each posture to accommodate your unique body and skill level, whether you're a beginner or advanced. The physical practice is complemented by daily pranayama (breathwork) and gentle hikes through the cloud forest, allowing you to absorb the pristine mountain air and connect with nature.

The culinary experience is central to the detox journey. All meals are 100% raw, plant-based, nutritionally balanced, and alkaline. Using locally grown tropical fruits, sprouted nuts and seeds, and fresh vegetables, Wendy creates simple yet delicious gourmet dishes that nourish and cleanse. You'll also participate in four raw food prep classes, where you'll learn how to create these healthy meals to take home with you. The diet is designed to eliminate environmental toxins, promote weight loss, and leave you feeling light and bright.

The evenings are dedicated to enrichment and reflection. You'll have engaging discussions and watch conscious media on topics like cutting-edge nutrition, Ayurveda, and deep green living. This holistic approach ensures that your transformation extends far beyond the physical, touching all aspects of your life. Whether you come to deepen your yoga practice, lose weight, or simply escape the hustle and bustle, this retreat provides the perfect environment for you to reset and rediscover your inner peace.
