Accommodations

The retreat center’s name translates as “love from the ancient forest.” It is nestled in an oasis of native plants and fruit trees, nourished by a magnificent waterfall in the Sacred Valley of Peru. This lovely spot is in the Andes Mountains and home of the twelve mountains known as Apus—“luminous beings.” Those who come to the center have the opportunity to commune directly with these mountains, as well as with the local curanderos and pacos (healers), who engage with us for ritual and Despacho ceremony.

The guests at this center enjoy delicious meals with locally-grown and lovingly-prepared ingredients. Each guest room is a reflection of the Peruvian culture of the Sacred Valley. The entire center embodies kindness, love, and wholeness that seem to permeate the magical place.

MYLA IVERS 

With over 10,000 hours of yoga teaching experience, Myla Ivers is a leading voice in the rapidly growing yoga and healing industry. Her unique approach to healing is both practical and spiritual. Her goal is to teach others the tools to heal from emotional trauma so they don’t have to look outside themselves as often for results. Myla believes issues that arise in our physical life all stem from an imbalance in energy. Myla gets to the heart of the problem so that the issue never returns.

Myla co-hosts international yoga retreats that create community, adventure and a safe space to heal.  She is an advanced certified akashic records practitioner with Dr. Linda Howe and a certified Reiki master.

Myla founded Master Your Magic in 2018 to teach men and women the tools to release negative energy and shed weight fast without having to leave their home!

LAUREN LIBRANDI

Lauren has been studying the body for her entire life. Since she was three she began expressing herself through movement and dance and eventually received her BFA in Dance Choreography from FSU in 2007. She performed all over the world and found various ways to move, twist and fly her body across space. Eventually she tore her ACL and meniscus which caused her to be unable to dance. From this experience, Lauren found that yoga was a way she could heal her body, move and breathe at the same time. It became a deep form of meditation and she began to study the various styles of teaching and methods of healing. She became a Reiki master, yoga teacher of vinyasa, yin, hot and sculpt. Lauren now teaches a very unique combination class combining yoga, reiki and deep partner stretching! I can say from experience- it’s juicy! Receiving a healing session from Lauren is a powerful yet calming experience. Everyone is going through something different and Laurens intuitive ability helps her cut straight to the source of the issue. No matter what life has thrown at you, Lauren can help speed up the healing process by holding immensely powerful space for the receiver.

Testimonials

“Myla and Lauren’s yoga/meditation/healing retreat this past summer in Greece was a remarkable experience and the beginning of my journey towards self-discovery, healing, and transformation. With their guidance, I have gained more awareness of my underlying fears, doubts, and worries and now have greater clarity and control over my emotions, thoughts, and feelings. Myla and Lauren each bring their own unique style to their yoga classes and together they are truly a magnificent force. I am beyond grateful to have been invited to be a part of this transformational journey and can’t thank them enough for all their support, encouragement, and for empowering me to trust my own intuitive voice!”

“It was amazing. I had so much fun. Myla and Lauren brought such an amazing experience that uplifted my soul.” –-Past Retreat Participant

“If you do not believe in magic than you have not met Myla Ivers. Back in April 2017 I had the privilege of attending Myla’s yoga retreat in Thailand. My life was forever changed. She led us through a week of Chakra Balancing yoga classes over the oceans of beautiful Ko Samui. This healing experience exceeded my expectations. Not only through physical yoga classes, but her one on one Reiki sessions, mind-expanding insight on my personal journey, and emotional conversations that heal the soul. I can only describe this experience as being high off energy. I can’t wait for the next one.”–-Past Retreat Participant

“Lauren & Myla are the yin and yang – the detox to retox experience you want and don’t even know how to ask for because it’s such a game changer. After going to Nicaragua with L & M, the bar of how I travel is now set higher – with every activity the intention to transform was thought out with deep love and creativity. If you’re reading this – Don’t think, just GO!” — Past Retreat Participant

“Myla and Lauren really put in a lot of heart, energy and time to each class that we did in Greece  Every class was dedicated to a Greek God and had a theme! It was such an amazing experience to do yoga in such a beautiful resort, with breathtaking views. I made such special connections with new friends, old friends and with myself. I don’t ever want to miss any retreats they go on because they sure know how to create a life changing experience!”
