Welcome to Kindred Spirits Lodge and Farm, a breathtaking oasis tucked away in the lush jungle, just two kilometers away from the stunning Caribbean beaches. The farm is a haven for nature lovers, yoga enthusiasts, and horse riders looking for transformation in a restful and safe space. It is a little piece of nirvana in the heart of the jungle.
As soon as you step onto the farm, you'll feel the tranquil energy that surrounds this special place. It is designed to be a space where kindred spirits can come together, share stories, and make new connections.
Kindred Spirits' living space is open, spacious, and offers stunning views of the surrounding jungle, creating a peaceful and serene environment for you to relax and unwind in. They have three shared rooms, which can also be booked as private rooms during retreats, ensuring that you have a comfortable and cozy space to retreat to after a long day of exploring.
You will be joining Kindred Spirits in their small private community Caribe Colorado, where you will find not only their healing sanctuary, but also their neighbours at Treevana, with five treehouse lodgings to choose from.
The treehouses are nestled among the lush trees and exotic flora of the jungle, providing the perfect setting for a tranquil getaway. Each treehouse has been lovingly crafted by hand, with rustic wooden interiors.
Over at Kindred Spirits, they have their lodge, where you'll experience the true beauty of the rainforest in comfort and safety.
The lodge offers three private bedrooms and a communal kitchen, all with breathtaking 360-degree views of the lush jungle surroundings. As you arrive there, you'll immediately feel a sense of tranquility and wonder. Relax in the comfortable shared spaces and connect with other travelers from around the world who are searching for more out of life, just like you.
The shared bedrooms are designed for comfort, with cozy beds and plenty of space for your belongings. Wake up to the sounds of birds chirping and monkeys playing in the trees as you start your day in paradise.
Their programs are based on years of collective experience, studies, and observations by women who've come together as kindred spirits. This training and retreat will be hosted by Terry Newton and lead together with Johanna Holst, Enrica Andreeto, and Adriana Kamala.
You will delve deep into different practices, exploring advanced pranayama, asana, mantra, mudras, and kriya practices. Moreover, you will begin to learn Sanskrit, a language that reveals the power behind ancient mantras and offers a deeper understanding of yoga philosophy.

Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga, a practice deeply rooted in ancient wisdom, carries a rich tradition and lineage. Devoting time to understand the profound philosophy and fascinating history behind Ashtanga Vinyasa will not only enrich your comprehension of the practice, but will also deepen your appreciation of the art of yoga as a whole.
The essence of Ashtanga Vinyasa lies in the profound concentration and presence it demands throughout the entire practice. It insists on an undivided, continual focus on the rhythmic flow of your breath and the sensations within your body. This concentrated focus cultivates a state of mindfulness that extends beyond the yoga mat, permeating every aspect of daily life.
By consciously directing your attention in this manner during your Ashtanga Vinyasa practice, you invite an increased awareness of your inner self. This heightened awareness fosters a deeper understanding not just of oneself, but also of your relationship with the world around you.
The wisdom and profound self-discovery that emerge from a dedicated practice of Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga are among the many gifts it bestows.

Yin yoga, with its yielding and nourishing nature, provides a counterbalance to the dynamic force of Yang yoga, fostering harmony on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels.
Delve into the rich tapestry of Yin's history, theory, and the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Chinese cosmology. Learn the art of teaching methodology, Yin poses, and class structure, and unravel the secrets of the five elements, meridians, and anatomy tailored for Yin yoga.
Discover the benefits tied to the five elements, meridians, qi, and the physical body, honing your skills to practice, teach, create sequences, and infuse storytelling into your classes. Join in this exploration, where the gentleness of Yin becomes a transformative journey into balance and well-being.
Yoga Nidra, an Eastern meditation practice, guides individuals to a state between waking and sleeping, transcending ordinary relaxation. Beyond physical postures, it dives into the mind and emotions, offering profound relaxation, mental clarity, and inner peace.
Yoga Nidra facilitates deep self-connection by rewiring the nervous system, eliminating negative patterns, and stimulating cellular healing. It cultivates rejuvenation and growth in your yoga practice and teaching profession.
