You will stay in Casa Kiliku, a place in the Andes not too far from the city of Quito and just next to the natural reserve of the Ilal Volcano. During the retreat, Casa Kiliku will be closed to tourists and open as an ashram where you share meals, spaces, yoga work, and ashram life experiences. The houses are built with materials from the volcano, with bricks or adobe and wood. Every space is unique.

You can stay on the big terrace and chat with others. Or just lie in the hammock and read or meditate on treetops dancing in the wind. It is pure luxury to offer a retreat place in a rural environment at the edge of the ecological reserve Ilal and so close to the center of Quito. This place is made of ecological local materials and a sustainable way of living is promoted.

Accommodation will be in double or triple rooms equipped with kitchen and bathroom with hot shower. You will share meals every day on the communitarian terrace enjoying the view.

Program

Certifications

The course/hours count as Continuing Education hours for Registered Yoga Teachers (RYT®) only.

As Durga's Tiger School for Tantra Yoga Shamanism is living in Ecuador with a massive indigenous population, they work with shamanism energy concepts as well, relating the shamanic visionaries of the Andes with the Tibetan tantric tradition. All this work is supported by the Kaula Tantra yoga, in which you will learn to create your sacred space and make the yoga practice a deep experience of self-encounter.

A yoga retreat is a gift you can give to yourself! You can relax, deepen your yoga practice, heal, share beautiful moments with other people, enjoy organized events; enjoy art, dance, meditation, music, great vegetarian food, and nature, and learn more about the ancient knowledge of this beautiful country.

During this retreat, you will discover the power of traditional Tantra yoga, of the ritual, of body expression as tools for personal discovery and healing. You don’t have to be experienced in yoga to join the program, and you can decide which activities you want to participate in every day.

Kaula Tantra Yoga

The traditional form of Kaula Tantra Yoga was transmitted face-to-face by Bhagavan Shanmuka Anantha Natha. It is unique because it changes not only the physical but impacts the psychological, emotional, energetic, and spiritual realms as well. They work with asanas, kundalini, chakras, bandhas, pranayama, mudras yantras, and mantras.

Different from other practices this series is practiced in a slow and flowing manner to build patience and awareness. Each asana is held gently for a period of time to allow students to relax into the posture. This way, each individual finds their own unique way of expressing the asanas without the pressure of competing or ‘performing perfectly’.

Hatha yoga

In Hatha yoga practice students move the stagnation of the body and mind. Through asana, meditation, pranayama, and yogic philosophy you'll meet your physical and spiritual strength that cultivates the energy that empowers your lives.

Meditation

Conncet with different morning meditation techniques exploring the active and static way to reach meditative states of consciousness. Meditations include mantras, breath techniques, and sound or silence.

Nature spirit connection

As you are living in Ecuador with a huge indigenous population, students also have the opportunity to learn about Andean culture, its cosmovision, and its similarities with Eastern culture. During the course, shamanistic energy concepts are explored together with the Tibetan tantric tradition.

Applied Tantric wisdom

These classes are a powerful opportunity for self-discovery. As the course is based on experience we will create active and participative classes where we will work on some of the main aspects of Tantra.

Art

This work is a fusion of tools and experiences that can be used in art and life. Get in touch with your inner child and intuition, develop the right side of the brain and lateral thinking, release patterns and blockings, open your ears and eyes to the present moment and to others, work in a group in more effective and loving ways, and increase your creativity and artistic skills by looking at things in a completely new perspective. They also use dance as a tool to deepen creativity and intuition through techniques of the liberation of the voice and relaxation in body movement.

Retreat location

Durga’s Tiger School ® in Casa Kiliku is situated on the Ilaló volcano, a mountain of legends and healing pilgrimages in the past. The community where they live is situated at the edge of the Ilaló natural park, which is easily reached for trekking or hiking. During free days, they inform alternative programs such as Papallacta hot springs, yoga on the mountain, shamanic ceremonies, and daily visits to Otavalo, Quito, and Molinuco waterfalls.

The yoga retreat will take place in Casa Kiliku, in the Andes of Ecuador, close to the capital Quito and on the edge of a natural reserve. You will be located 3 kilometers from the village of Tumbaco surrounded by high trees and mountains. The Kiliku is a little hawk living here on the volcano, the Ilal. For them, he is the symbol of freedom and he is seeing the reality from high above. It means that this place helps the yoginis to get a distance from their everyday life to fly into the experience of living in a yoga ashram, enjoying the green garden surrounded by flowers and old trees.

The little village bus stops in front of Durgas Tiger Schools door. The new airport can also be reached in 25-45 minutes, depending on the traffic. To get to Durgas Tiger School you have to get to Casa Kiliku.
