5 Day SUP Yoga Amazon Retreat

Take your yoga practice onto the water and into the rainforest for a playful, restorative, and unforgettable experience.

Skill level: Beginner & Intermediate


Pre-requisite: Must know how to swim

🌟 What to Expect

This retreat invites you to explore the joy and challenge of practicing yoga on water in our spring-fed lagoon, a natural floating studio surrounded by pristine Amazon rainforest.

Each day includes morning and afternoon SUP yoga sessions designed to energize, restore, and deepen your connection with nature. When weather conditions make water practice unsuitable, sessions are held in our beautiful yoga shala overlooking the forest.

The natural soundscape — wind, birds, monkeys, insects — provides the perfect soundtrack for mindfulness and relaxation, especially during Savasana.

You’ll explore a variety of yoga styles:


🧘‍♀️ SUP Yoga (the heart of the retreat)
🧘‍♀️ Hatha
🧘‍♀️ Flow
🧘‍♀️ Gentle
🧘‍♀️ Restorative
🧘‍♀️ Yoga Nidra

Daily pranayama (breathwork) and meditation complement your practice, helping you find clarity and calm on and off the water.

Whether new to yoga or an experienced yogi, you’ll discover fresh perspectives, playful challenges, and blissful moments of floating serenity.

This retreat is lovingly guided by Johanne, who combines her passion for yoga, nature, and equine connection to create a safe, inspiring, and heart-centered space for growth and renewal.

🌴 Your Daily Rhythm

Every day begins with warm lime water on your porch as the rainforest awakens. Morning SUP yoga sessions and wholesome plant-based breakfasts set a vibrant tone for the day.

From there, your experience may include:

🌿 Herbal plant bath ritual (baño de plantas) to cleanse the aura
🏊 Swimming, birdwatching, or cloud-gazing in the private lagoon
🐴 A sunset equine-imity stroll with Ayla, Johanne’s mare, including a viewpoint stop for a healthy drink
🌳 Forest walks on the 1.4 km nature trail
📝 Journaling, mindful coloring, or hammock time
🥗 Delicious, nourishing plant-based meals prepared with love
✨ Reiki healing sessions and inner reflection time

Afternoons close with a restorative SUP yoga practice or meditation, followed by dinner under the stars.

💫 Insight

Practicing yoga on water awakens a playful curiosity while demanding presence and balance. The lagoon’s calm surface amplifies awareness of body, breath, and mind, while its gentle instability strengthens focus and core engagement.

Guests often describe SUP yoga as liberating — a chance to float, surrender, and reconnect with the natural flow of life. Journaling prompts and quiet reflection invite integration, so you return home not only stronger in body but softer in spirit.

In Their Own Words

We are deeply touched by the kind words guests share after their stay. Here's what some participants had to say:

"Once in a lifetime experience

Johanne and Armando welcomed us very kindly into there peaceful and beautiful oasis. The Yoga lessons started out basic, relaxing and stretching, to see our level and train healthy and mindfully. Each day we advanced to more difficult and challenging poses on the SUPs. Johanne always put an emphasis on the right posture and movement, to be gentle to our joints and never feel pain or hurt ourselves. We loved the experience of being in the nature and connected with nature whilst practicing. On the lagoon we could see little monkeys, kingfisher, herons and a lot of other birds an insects, it was unbelievable. The food just perfectly fit into the whole concept: first of all it was super delicious, as well as healthy and vegan. We always felt satisfied but never bloated or heavy afterwards. That’s why we bought Johannes lovely cookbook. In our room we could find a guidance to write a journal, which we did. There were also pencils and Mandalas, which I enjoyed doing a lot. In total I would recommend this retreat to anybody because it felt like balm for my body and soul. I love the holistic approach of the retreat and we learned a lot. In the end, the 6 days went by flying and we didn’t want to leave. Johanne and Armando where the greatest hosts and we left leaving behind friends. Thank you, we hope to see you again. Namaste."
