School Yoga Institute/Sacred Lotus 200 and 300 hr certified Yoga Alliance Teacher training’s hold a strong intention for personal transformation. In this way, the courses are designed not only to provide students with tools to share the wisdom of yoga with others, but also to look at their own lives from a spiritual perspective.
To guide the process of personal transformation we draw on the ancient wisdom of the East as well as on the Shamanic Medicine Wheel of Peru. Our trainings are arranged in four cycles, following the four cardinal directions, asking the guardian spirits to guide a cycle of release, understanding, growth and empowerment. Together we create a space that reveals our wisdom within and accelerates the realization of our life purpose.
We share the Art of Teaching and Art of Touch, during which students learn to teach two asana sequences, the Mystical Hatha Flow, a slow, meditative, Sivananda-based practice, and the Mystical Vinyasa Flow, a more intense, breath-synchronized flow. We also share the fundamentals of intelligent sequencing and explore alignment and adjustment of poses in depth. Each evening we close with Satsang, our evening gathering, which may be meditation, kirtan chanting or sacred ceremony.

Peru, Machu Picchu Retreat
Sacred Valley Yoga with Roy Holman
July 21 – 31 2019
Yoga, Hiking, Meditation and Sacred Ceremony
We have been researching the Sacred Valley of Peru for several years, and suddenly it all fell together. We wanted to find the perfect place to stay, and we found it in Sach’ay Munay. We wanted to plug in with sacred ceremonies with genuine and compassionate indigenous guides, wisdom keepers and spiritual teachers, and we found them. And we wanted to to do all this at an affordable price, less than other trips to the Sacred Valley, and we did it!
Yoga Retreat Theme: Facing, Feeling and Clearing the Fear
As my teacher in India, Sri Bhagavan said, ““Fear is the greatest obstacle on the spiritual path. Confront your fears.” On this retreat, we will explore our various fears and their many faces: anxiety, apprehension, worry, control, and settling for less than full on living. Do not worry, we won’t force anyone to do anything wild, although we will invite those who are willing to walk through a very short cave at the end of the retreat, at the sacred site of Saqsaywaman near Cusco.
At the same time, it is crucial that we do not get stuck in lower vibration fear and worry as we move forward into this shift on Earth into a New Paradigm of higher energy and joy and love
Why Peru, Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley?
Machu Picchu lies at the far end of the Sacred Valley. This sacred Incan site is the most visited ancient ruins in the hemisphere. Machu Picchu is like a magnet, attracting mystics, yogis and adventurist from all over the world. This 15th century sacred site was kept hidden from the invading Spaniards, only discovered by the West in the early 20th century.
But the Sacred Valley is so much more than Machu Picchu. What awaits us are amazing villages, temples, ruins, waterfalls, hikes, ceremony along the Urubamba River and surrounded by majestic mountains. We will visit during the dry season, without the rains, with cool mornings and warm sunny days.

300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training with Kula Collective – Shamanic Awakening
August 1 – August 31 2019 As we explore the fusion of the ancient and mystical traditions of Yoga, Shamanism and Ayurveda, we step into the Wisdom of Self (Vidya). Yoga (union with the Divine), Shamanism (interaction with the spirit world) and Ayurveda (the Hindu science of health and medicine) are all practices designed to grant us access to the infinite wisdom we carry within ourselves.
In addition to meeting the Yoga Alliance standards for teaching methodology, anatomy, yogic theory and special education, Kula Collective’s RYT-300 hour YTT Courses focus on the expansion of our own sacred consciousness. By releasing the stories and holdings that no longer serve us, we create more space to see our gifts, our passions and the essence of who we are as teachers and beings on this path of Light and Oneness.
Once we have connected to the essence of the true teacher within, we are able to integrate the wisdom of our own yoga with the deep wisdom of Native American earth medicine, shamanic practices, subtle energy systems and other healing practices of the world. The ancient knowledge of these teachings provide the tools and understandings for us as teachers to weave together authentically inspired intentions and themes into our practice and into our classes.

200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training with Kula Collective – Spirit Journey
August 7 – 31 2019
Here, in the heart of the Sacred Valley, we find a powerful space for opening and moving our own hearts. Surrounded by the wisdom of the Sacred Apus (ancient mountains) and cleansing rivers, we peel away the layers of our shadows, understanding our passions to reveal our true authentic purpose. Moving through various creative modalities of expression, we identify and connect with our root creative selves, our passions, and our dharma (our life path). Accompanied by two local Peruvian shamans, our journey here will guide us to the deepest parts of ourselves.
At our Peru RYT-200 Yoga Teacher Training, we wake with the mountain sun, taking time to absorb the magnificence of the surroundings, breathe deeply, move slowly… and connect to the ancient wisdom of this land.
The Sacred Valley of Peru has long been sought out as one of the most powerful energetic centers in the world. The wisdom of this land runs in the people, the way of life and in the plants themselves, and this training calls on this ancient knowledge as a symbiotic guide through the path of Yoga. We will share the medicine of Peru and other lands through cleansing plant baths, temazcal, cacao ceremony, traditional coca leaf reading, sound and energetic healing, with optional medicine ceremonies (not part of the training) on days off.
This training carries a unique focus of creative empowerment; in other words, new and unique ways of living, asking the question: How can we live in a way that is more true to ourselves? Facilitators Jiya and Cheralee share a passion for movement, using bodily expression to align the physical with the mental and spiritual, as well as drawing on skills of energy work and healing touch. This holistic approach is complimented by a focus on creativity as a sacred practice, making this training ideal for those going through transition or seeking a deeper sense of general alignment.
Lead facilitator Jiya has a passion for personal transformation, healing and empowerment, using techniques and exercises from across the world to inspire and energize her students. Through exploring our own movement and natural creative expression, we uncover our passions… and in doing so, our deeper purpose here on this Earth. Through diving deep within to heal our own selves, we radiate the change and peace we wish to share in this world. Please visit here for more info
Shamanic Cleanse: Sacred Valley
September 6th – 15th, 2019
It is our greatest honor to help facilitate this profound and transformational cleansing retreat. While many ask us to explain what will happen, we cannot truly answer because Plant Medicine takes us to a realm beyond concepts and words. And while we will provide you some tools to prepare for the cleanse, there is nothing that can truly prepare you for this journey to the Soul. So, we ask that you trust us completely and surrender to the process and know that you are guided and protected by the light you carry within.
We have watched our friends and family transform before our eyes, we have watched their skin clear and their eyes brighten as years of age pour off their bodies. While the process is at times difficult and at times spectacular, when you finish you will know that every moment, no matter how challenging, was in complete perfection. Our teachers will be the Master Plants of Sacred Cacao, Mama Coca, Tobacco, Washuma, and Ayahuasca. There is absolutely nothing to fear… all those that we work with have life-changing and healing experiences.
Fear can always find an excuse for why you can’t… but you can. And we will be there to help, every step of the way. Trust, release, surrender… you are guided, you are protected, you are divine light, We are all One… We are We!.

Machu Picchu Pilgrimage
Sept. 1 – 7, 2019
Each person in this retreat will experience a powerful remembrance of the truth of who you are. Working with the powerful plant medicine teachers of Ayahuasca and Huachuma, as well as the spirits of the Apus or sacred mountains we’ll be supported in peeling away the layers of ego and conditioning to reveal the luminous divinity that lies within all of us.
Additionally, we’ll experience a Temazcal Ceremony of purification, a heart opening Cacao Ceremony and a traditional Despacho Ceremony of offerings to the spirits of the land for welcoming us and supporting our transformation.
We’ll share practices of still and active meditation, yin and yang yoga, dance and breathwork that will support you in releasing physical, mental and emotional blockages, opening your energy centers and embodying your truth. These tools can become your foundation for carrying deep peace with you into your daily life by having outlets to channel emotions, express and activate your life force energy .
Each day will include sessions and rituals where we’ll have the opportunity to shine the light of love to illuminate all of our unconscious beliefs, patterns and agreements. With a group size limited to 13, each person will receive personalized coaching in our group sessions around breaking patterns that are holding you back from living a life of freedom. We’ll work together on creating new programs and beliefs that feel true to you on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level to support lasting transformation.
The Sacred Valley of the Incas is one of our favorite places on Earth! The ancient wisdom and spiritual energy is palpable. Stunning mountains tower over verdant valleys and cobblestone streets where people still wear their colorful indigenous clothing. The local people live according to the practice of Ayni or sacred reciprocity, always giving back before taking anything.
Both Dustin & Ixchel have a deep and profound relationship with the Sacred Valley of Peru and are so grateful for the spirits of the land and the people that have contributed immensely to their spiritual journey. This will be their 4th Peru retreat they are offering together and the 6th Ixchel is offering.

The Yoga of Chocolate™
A Journey through the Senses
September 28 – October 5, 2019
In Patanjali’s 8 Limbs of Yoga, the fifth limb, pratyahara, is often defined as ‘a withdrawal of the senses’. With it’s central location it could also be considered the “bridge limb” – the point where the outer can become inner (and vice versa).
However, a less common translation, and more accurate, translation of the word pratyahara is to recover our senses.
Scholars of yoga philosophy often regard pratyahara as the ‘forgotten limb’ of yoga, its importance being gravely undervalued and ignored. Pratyahara is intimately related to ALL the limbs of yoga, as they all – from asana to samadhi—contain aspects of pratyahara; It is the basis for meditation and provides the gateway towards the higher practices of samyama yoga: dharana (concentration), dhyana (meditation), and samadhi (absorption/oneness).
“Pratyahara does not mean suppressing the senses! We need our mind and senses to be outward in order to function in the world and enjoy life. Pratyahara means training and mastering the mind and senses so they stop roaming aimlessly, depleting us of our vital energies (prana) in the process.” ~ Pandit Rajmani Tigunait, PhD
In this 8 day/7 night retreat, we will turn the spotlight on this forgotten limb, weaving together asana, meditation, breathwork, somatic movement, sacred ritual and ceremony, indigenous healing practices, and (drum roll)… CHOCOLATE as the vehicles with which we will use to recover, revitalize, and deepen our sensory awareness.
Participants have the option to go even deeper with their journey with the Tour de Cacao, which will immediately follow our time at S’acha Munay. Tour de Cacao will give you hands-on time at cacao farms in Quillabamba, visit with cacao farmers & learn about the process involved in transforming cacao to chocolate, hike the last portion of the Inca Trail, and finish out the adventure at Machu Picchu!
Jyl Kutsche (500 RYT, LMT) is a Senior Instructor of Prajna Yoga (Santa Fe, NM) has been teaching yoga for over 15 years and working in the world of cacao & chocolate for over 20. She carries an extensive understanding of anatomy, alignment, and movement and weaves those together with the wisdom teachings of yoga and, through them, the infinite potential of our senses. theyogaofchocolate.com

Breaking Through: Transformational Journey to Peru
October 19 – 26 2019
What are you ready to break through? How has your life been limited to repetitive patterns that disrupt and prevent the new creations from happening easily?
Join Alandra and Ariel and an amazing group of people for a transformational week in the Sacred Valley of Peru. Bring your partner, your friend, your husband, wife, sibling, lover or just bring yourself to this once-in-a-lifetime journey!

Alandra will be guiding us to access deeper connections with our hearts, body, breath and presence.

We also offer an optional plant medicine ceremony with an amazing female shaman (not included in retreat tuition). Last year this experience offered deeper healing to many of the participants. Authentic local ceremonies will be offered to prepare us to enter the transformational energies of the mountains, plants and ancient ways.
Ariel Swan joins Alandra to teach daily yoga/pilates classes to keep us strong and centered in our bodies as well as some evening Yin Yoga to promote relaxation and calming of the mind. She brings a huge amount of energy, sensitivity, fun, and innate wisdom to support the process and keep us challenged (and laughing) in our yoga practice.
We will also be offering a karma yoga 1/2 day volunteer service project that will help the local communities. Last year we painted a small school and sang, laughed, and shared food with the young students and teachers. It was one of our favourite memories, in giving back we received so much!

Level up your life in this week-long adventure designed to create a new vision of success and clear out roadblocks that sidetrack our goals.
Together we’ll combine the magical movement of Baptiste Power Yoga with practical leadership and vision setting skills. And we’ll check a few boxes off the adventure bucket list too!
Each day we’ll practice yoga and meditate in a fun and restorative way, pow wow on Yoga One Leadership principles to light up your life, and hike around the beautiful Sacred Valley that once formed the epicenter of the Inca Empire.
From harrowing mountain peaks and rural villages to roaming llamas and alpacas, you’ll find it’s the perfect place to elevate and update your true-to-you life vision!

The Sacred Journey Within with Candace and Ellen
October 31 – November 7, 2020
Are you ready to discover your own sacredness? Is it time to develop a deeper connection and understanding of your own life’s journey? What better place than the Sacred Valley of Peru to delve deeper into your own being in a place where ancient civilizations were formed.
Join Candace and Ellen as they take you on a sacred journey to your own inner landscape.
On this retreat, Candace and Ellen will utilize yoga and mindfulness as a basis to begin to understand your physical being. We will engage in healing ceremonies using crystals, reiki, sound, traditional local ceremonies, and sweat lodge to deepen your connection to earth, humanity, and spirit. There will be time given to be still and to be silent. There will be time to discuss and engage in community with others.
At the end of this retreat, you will feel connected and grounded to your own inner truth. You will feel a deep sense of being rooted to your own highest sense of self, ready to move forward in life with tools to help you find grace and joy.
Are you ready to take a step back to move forward?
