Amazon Jungle Yoga & Meditation Retreat in Peru

Set in the high, fresh Amazonian jungle of Moyobamba, this retreat is run by Moksha Yoga Amazónica and takes place alongside their 200-hour yoga teacher training. That means you get access to a rich schedule of asana, pranayama, meditation, and optional theory lectures on philosophy and anatomy—but you're free to join whatever you want, and none of it is mandatory. It's a flexible structure that lets you dive as deep into yoga as you like or simply relax by the pool and soak in the jungle atmosphere.

A typical day includes two asana practices (a morning Vinyasa flow and an evening Yin class), meditation sessions, and group activities like kirtan or mantra singing. Special highlights include a cacao ceremony focusing on the heart chakra, an Abhyanga Ayurvedic oil massage, and a sunset practice that connects you to the surrounding nature. The retreat also encourages a digital detox—leaving your phone behind during meals and practices helps you fully immerse in the experience.

The location itself is a highlight. The lodge is the first and only dedicated yoga shala in Moyobamba, set on a property filled with fruit trees and visited by hummingbirds, toucans, and monkeys. You're within walking distance of the Mirador of Tahuisco, a charming area of pedestrian-only streets with shops and a chocolate museum, and the Mayo River is close for swimming or boat rides.

The teaching team is led by experienced instructors like Michelle, an indigenous Canadian yoga teacher with over 1,500 hours of training; Danni, a Dublin-born Ashtanga and Vinyasa teacher; and Victoria, who brings sound bath and music into her classes. They all emphasize a welcoming, open atmosphere for practitioners of every level.
