This yoga and wellness program is designed to share with guests Johanne's passion for yoga and holistic health in a beautiful natural environment. This five-day program includes daily yoga classes and self-care activities, mind-body nutrition talks, and ample free time for swimming, resting swinging in a hammock, observing birds and monkeys, reading, and more.
Experience the peace that comes from practicing yoga, eating well, and becoming more connected with nature. Tambo Ilusion's yoga classes take place in a stunning space that looks out onto the surrounding natural beauty.
The natural soundscape, featuring the chorus of wind, birds, monkeys, and insects, will transport you to a place of serenity during your practice, especially during Savasana, the final resting pose.
Yoga props and accessories are provided to ensure your comfort and offer support. Throughout the retreat, you’ll practice various styles: Hatha, gentle, restorative, yoga Nidra, and slow yoga flow.
Yoga and more
Hatha yoga classes will be held twice daily. The morning session will be uplifting and energizing, while the afternoon session is designed to calm and restore mind, body, and spirit. Meditation and pranayama (breathing techniques) are also part of the daily practice.
Every day is different at Tambo Ilusion but it always starts with a warm cup of lemon water served on your porch to hydrate, cleanse, and alkalize your body, followed by morning yoga and a delicious breakfast.
Then, either enjoy a swim in the beautiful secluded lagoon, forest bathe walking along the protected forest trail, color mandalas, and more. The experience is yours to create and is sure to be unforgettable!
You will also have the opportunity to take a stroll with Johanne to meet their horses, enjoy the amazing view of the mountain range and stunning sunset (weather permitting) and benefit from equine-imity and sunset therapies, both soothing for the soul.
All activities are included and optional. You can choose to lounge in a hammock reading, bird and monkey watch, take a siesta, or do whatever your heart desires. The experience is truly yours to create.
Throughout your stay, you are encouraged to keep a journal. Suggestions and writing exercises will be provided to get you started.
Nightly routines usually wind down around 9:00 p.m.
The jewel of Tambo Ilusion is its secluded freshwater lagoon which is cool and refreshing, just a joy to swim in. Relax and meditate on the dock while enjoying the chant of the birds and the murmur of the creek's running water.
At Tambo Ilusion, time is not measured by clocks but in moments.
