Sacred Flow: A Journey Through the Heart of Peru with Allix

-Arrive in Cusco, the ancient heart of the Inca Empire, where the air is crisp and the mountains seem to hum with energy. After a scenic drive to the Sacred Valley, settle into your retreat surrounded by dramatic peaks and lush terraces. Take time to ground yourself, breathe deeply, and let the journey sink in.

-Before dinner, engage in a soothing yoga practive to calm the mind.

-As evening falls, gather for a welcome dinner – a soulful introduction to the flavors and spirit of the Andes, setting the tone for a week of transformation.

-Awaken with a restorative yoga session, drawing in the morning light and mountain air.

-The day unfolds at your pace: dive into the vibrant Pisac market, famed for its artisan crafts and ancient ruins perched above the valley, or choose to paddle across the serene Piruay lagoon, merging yoga with the gentle rhythm of water. (See add-ons for pricing and more information.)

-Afterwards, head back to the retreat for an engaging yoga session, before having the night to do as you please.

-Begin with a mindful yoga practice before venturing to Maras and Moray. Marvel at the surreal concentric terraces of Moray – an ancient agricultural laboratory – and the dazzling salt pans of Maras, both testaments to Incan ingenuity.
