We are living in unprecedented times of climate chaos and ecological uncertainty. Yet within this crisis lies a profound invitation to reconnect with ancient wisdom that honors our interdependence with the Earth. Sacred Alignment weaves together the transformative practices of classical yoga with the life-giving principles of Andean cosmovision, creating a bridge between embodied movement and indigenous wisdom.

This unique 4-week journey merges the physical, mental, and spiritual practices of yoga with the profound teachings of Andean cosmology. Through guided breathwork, movement meditations, and critical reflection, you’ll discover how ancestral concepts of reciprocity, balance, and collective well-being can guide us toward a more harmonious relationship with ourselves, each other, and the living Earth.
