“Anamaya is the best and most beautiful place to rejuvenate! I had the most amazing week. I cannot recommend Anamaya enough. I went as a solo traveler and had the best time. The food was incredible. I was blown away by how delicious, fresh, healthy and clean it all was. The whole week was a great balance of group activities plus time for solo adventures. This trip was the perfect was to disconnect, relax and rejuvenate.” – Eden

Equinox Awakening Candlelight Ceremony

On the day when darkness and light align, join in community as we embrace our darkness and release what no longer serves our highest good. Then, turn toward the light as you envision what you want to call into this new season.

During this powerful Spring Equinox Ceremony, we will create an altar and use oracle cards, fire, chanting, breath, meditation and movement to sow our spiritual gardens.

Designed to offer you a physical, emotional, energetic and spiritual cleanse, you will make space for new blessings and plant seeds for growth.

Nothing is off limits, and everything is possible. You can expect to leave feeling more aligned with your life’s true purpose and more connected to your higher self.

Option to enhance your practice: Bring sacred items to support you through your journey (crystals, totems, etc.) and a journal to reflect on your experience.

***This workshop is 2 hours and the cost is $77 (or $155 for all three)

 

Inward Journey: Blissful Breathwork & Yoga Nidra

Bliss is your birthright. Affirm it during this powerful breathwork practice of energetic awakening. Ground, center, open your heart and connect with higher consciousness as you practice Pranayama (breathwork) that will soothe your soul and help you reach Samadhi.

Strategically sequenced, this combination of breathing techniques invites a harmonious flow throughout your energy centers, opening chakras and balancing their energy.

During this experience, you will explore anywhere from 5-7 different yogic breathing techniques, each with their own unique healing benefits. Next, you will soften into a Yoga Nidra session designed to withdraw the senses so you can turn further inward.

Beginning with light movement and ending an extended savasana, you will emerge from this practice feeling more peaceful, grateful, relaxed and aligned. After all, breathwork is proven to help:

  • Unite your body and mind
  • Balance your nervous system
  • Energize and empower you
  • Create a calm meditative state
  • Awaken your authentic Self
  • Promote presence, awareness and inner peace
  • And so much more!

Option to enhance your practice: Bring sacred items to support you through your breathwork journey (crystals, totems, etc.) and a journal to reflect on your experience.

***This workshop is 90 minutes and the cost is $55 (or $155 for all three)

 

Jungle Bathing: Return to Your Roots & Connect With Nature

We are a part of nature, and nature is within us. You were born to bloom.

During this 75-minute nature immersion, you will slowly and silently saunter through the jungle, inviting all of your senses to awaken. Embrace your childlike sense of wonder as you stop to feel the velvet texture of a flower petal, smell the sap of a tree, taste the rainwater from a blade of grass. Look up, down and all around. Stop to admire and witness. Breathe with the wind and the trees. See everything as if it is brand new.

Then, close your eyes and tune into your sixth sense that lives at the third eye: your inner wisdom. The part of you that has always known: You are Nature. Through our roots, we are all connected. We are one.

Inspired by the Japanese healing modality Shinrin-yoku (forest bathing), this experience includes a walking meditation that is accessible for most ability levels as well as an assortment of nature-based meditations and breathing practices.

You will emerge from this experience feeling more connected to Mother Earth and more open to receiving her support and guidance.

***This workshop is 75 minutes and the cost is $44 (or $155 for all three)
