8 days Exploring the Incan empire in magical Peru

October 12 – October 19, 2019

 

Montana and Mary Byerly Yoga, the three of us dedicated to creating fun yoga vacations, so you can just show up and enjoy the trip of a lifetime.  Yoga with Mary each morning will prepare us for our daily adventures from the inside out: strengthening, stretching, breathing, and being present.  Journey with us through the Sacred Valley and experience the power and history this sacred land holds.

The adventure begins with our introduction to the history and cosmology of the Inkas, then a Sound Healing to bring us into alignment with our journey together.  The next day we will  visit Ollantaytambo, an Inka fortress and strategic archaeological center, as well as the Moray salt mines, to give us a flavor for the nature and people who still protect this enchanted land.  It will be a easy day, giving us time to acclimate our body, mind, and                                                                              spirit to this blessed opportunity.

The next days will be spent exploring many of the surrounding ruins from Sacsayhuaman, and other significant temple sites, and of course Cusco, the center of the Incan Empire.  Our guides will show just how this civilization was created and destroyed.  Then we’ll be off on a scenic bus and  train ride to the unforgettable Machu Picchu.  Upon our return to the sacred valley we will have time for some spa services or healing ceremonies if you like, as well as time to explore the local market and one more of the sites near our hotel.  We will end with a Despacho ceremony to close our week together and bring a peace home.

Thank you for joining us.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                          

 

Meet the Instructor:  Mary Byerly

 
Mary has practiced yoga since 1990, and has taught since 2002.  Her teaching is grounded in the classical tradition of hatha and tantra, incorporating a deep knowledge of anatomy and bio-mechanics, yogic philosophy and practices, which she applies individually for each student.  She teaches the balance of strength and flexibility, and guides her students to connect with their inner teacher, the wisdom and light that is within us all.

Peter Oakley and Debra Marcos are the other two owners and operators, along with Mary, of Panacea de la Montana.  World travelers, wisdom seekers, and folks who always provide quality service with a personal touch.
