Amazon Jungle Yoga & Meditation Retreat in Peru

Hosted by Moksha Yoga Amazónica, this retreat runs alongside their 200-hour yoga teacher training, meaning you get access to the same teachers and workshops without the full commitment. You can sit in on lectures on yoga philosophy, anatomy, and teaching methodology whenever you want, but nothing is mandatory. The focus is on classical yogic practices—kriyas, pranayama, meditation, mantra, and yoga nidra—taught by a team of international instructors, each with their own background and style, from Ashtanga to Vinyasa.

Days begin with gentle cleansing practices and move into a vinyasa flow before breakfast. Mornings are free for optional lectures or personal time, and afternoons may include asana labs or a meditation sitting. Evenings finish with yin yoga and a restorative practice like Yoga Nidra. Twice during the week, you will leave the lodge for excursions: a silent canoe ride through the flooded forest of Tingana Eco-Reserve, watching for monkeys and birds, and a karma yoga visit to a local school where you will help teach yoga to children and take part in a beach clean-up along the Mayo River.

The setting is the Kantu Garden Lodge, a peaceful property set among fruit trees and gardens, with a pool and the only yoga shala in Moyobamba. The town itself is known as the 'City of Orchids', with a pleasant micro-climate and nearby hot springs at San Mateo. It is a place where toucans, hummingbirds, and monkeys visit daily, and the mist rolls in over the jungle each morning.
