Born and bred in Germany, I have lived in the Peruvian Andes for over 30 years where I have worked as a your leader and local guide for the archeological sites of the Cusco area and in Manu National Park. I trained as a Yoga Instructor in 2006 at the Sivananda Ashram in Val Morin in Canada and have been teaching our visitors at Andean Spirit Lodge since. I have also deepened my knowledge of Yoga attending Yoga Holidays in Brazil and attending Yoga courses and events in Rishikesh in India.

Armando is a plastic artist from Cusco and has trained as a Sivananda Yoga Teacher at Garopaba, Brazil in 2007. He loves hiking in nature and investigating spiritual topics.
