Shamanic Yoga and Healing Retreat in Nicaragua

This is not a typical yoga retreat. It's a focused program for anyone who wants to go beyond the mat and explore the intersection of yogic and shamanic traditions. The retreat is based on the practices of the Andean Cosmovision, with facilitators who have spent years in the jungles of Peru and its Sacred Valley. The host, Anthony Alcalde, has been a teacher and healer since 1998, and he runs the retreat from his home, the Chakana Yoga Center.

The structured days include daily yoga and meditation classes, plus specific shamanic practices like a Shamanic Cleansing, Chakra Balancing, and Shamanic Drum Journeying. You'll also explore Yoga Nidra and the philosophy behind both Indian and Peruvian traditions. This is a small-group experience, with a maximum of five participants, which allows for a highly personalized approach.

Accommodation is in a single private room with a garden view. The retreat is located just outside the colonial city of Masaya, near the Masaya Volcano National Park. The food is fresh, local, and largely vegetarian, with meals served family-style.
