Which is the best yoga retreat in Peru?

Although the practice of yoga finds its origins an ocean away from the verdant rainforests of western Peru, in our humble opinion, a lodge on the edge of the Tambopata jungle reserve is the best yoga retreat in Peru.

Of course, most tourists to Peru have other activities in mind: trekking through the Andes to Machu Picchu, lounging on the white sand beaches of Máncora, or experiencing Lima’s superlative food scene, to name a few.

While those activities are entirely worthwhile, we’re here to also make the case for the affordable yoga retreat in Tambopata. In addition to the manifest health benefits of yoga, the retreat allows you to truly immerse yourself in the unparalleled ecosystem of the Amazon Rainforest and experience the spiritual wholeness of the Ayurvedic lifestyle.

The Health Benefits of Yoga

The advantageous effects of yoga are almost too many to count. Taken altogether, they make it obvious why so many people have taken up the practice in recent years.

First, there are the external, skeletal-muscular benefits. These include increased flexibility, strengthened muscles and joints, improved posture, and decreased tension.

There are also positive internal effects on the cardiovascular, pulmonary, and nervous systems. These include increased blood flow, heightened heart rate, lowered blood pressure and blood sugar, increased lung capacity, and boosted immunity.

As if those weren’t enough, yoga has a concrete correlation with a higher quality of life. People who regularly practice yoga are happier, sleep better, eat healthier, and have higher self-esteem.
