Practical Information
Noya Rao
In the heart of the Amazon rain forest, there stands a mystical tree known as Noya Rao, or Palo Volador, which translates to the “Flying Tree.” According to the myth, this tree is not an ordinary one but a divine entity with the ability to transcend the physical realm. It is believed to be connected to the celestial world, embodying light and wisdom.
Bobinsana
In the forest it has been seen for long time as a respected master for masters guidance. Traditionally it has been the plant offering guidance for the Shaman himself to navigate in between two worlds. Growing along the river it has been connected to the spirit of Nymph and mermaid.
Noya Rao
The myth of Palo Volador, often associated with the Noya Rao tree or the "Flying Tree," is a fascinating element of Amazonian shamanic traditions, particularly within the Shipibo-Konibo culture. This myth encompasses elements of spirituality, healing, and transformation.
One of the most captivating aspects of the myth is the idea that Noya Rao is a Tree of Light. It is not only a physical entity but also a beacon of spiritual enlightenment. The light from the tree is believed to guide lost souls, heal broken spirits, and illuminate the path to spiritual awakening. It represents the ultimate connection between the material world and the divine.
Bobinsana
This river plant also called Semcin by the Shipibo people brings clarity and joy to the person who uses it with respect. It revives intuition and relieves pain, depression and longing. It reconnects to the heart, and both ways to relate to love with harmony, to give and receive.
It is also traditionally use to connect people with their dreams and provide a special way to access lucid ones. As so the plant allow to reconnect to an experience of life of peace and harmony. In bath it improves the feeling of youth, flexibility, and vigor.
What makes this retreat special?
The path of the Infinite-self.
Non-duality, love, and compassion are core values of our work at One Breath of Yoga. Yoga means Union and combining the Philosophy of Yoga and plant Medicine allow us to connect and understand the path of Love & knowledge with another perspective.
Non-Duality, Union, Love and Compassion are at the heart of the Noya Rao lineage of Shipibo curanderismo. Yes, you can study plants and learn about non-duality, love, and compassion! In fact, it accelerates this learning process, especially within a Noya Rao Dieta.
Both work as container for the other to unfold wider. It is a very special sensation to be able to feel and grasp such Universal law through the combined practice of two different and distant ancient traditions of the world. A true encounter of the Condor and Eagle.
The Shamanic/yogic container
The specificity of our team made it very natural for us to hold the venue of Juanita. The combination of Pamela, Shaman, head of the medicinal ceremonies and yoga practitioner at our center, and Coco our lead teacher of Ashtanga Yoga, and all the other members of the team who also navigate in both shamanic and yogic practice, creates a container for the participants and allow them to dive in safely into the experience.

He is a healer, life coach, and dedicated Ayahuasquero (student, guardian and practitioner of Nixi Pae, the sacred Amazonian medicine).
His path began with intensive training in meditation and healing through a Mystery School based in Australia and California. Through this training he was invited to become a somatic regression practicioner and meditation facilitator.

It forms the foundation of his indepth 6 month integration and navigation programs.
Scotxi’s journey with sacred Amazonian medicines began in 2014, with a transformative visit to the village of Ninawa Pai Da Mata, a revered spiritual leader of the Huni Kuin people. This pilgrimage took him deep into the forest of Acre, Brazil, and marked the start of a lifelong connection to Huni Kuin spirituality.
Since then, he has been traveling worldwide to as a guardian in support of their mission in Europe, the USA, and India, as well as contributing to projects in their villages. Since 2018, has led the UK Eskawata Kayawai community, hosting Huni Kuin spiritual leaders in the UK which has grown into the largest indigenous medicine communities in the UK.

I did the 200hrs TTC here and it was truly a wonderful and transforming experience. Coco is the best yoga teacher you could wish for. She is very experienced, passionate and caring. Her ashram is a magical place where you can find inner peace and meet wonderful people. I found a family apart from home. Thank you for everything! 🙏🏼
Natalia Sniatala
A great transformational sanctuary. The ashram is a very peaceful sanctuary. The ashtanga tradition is upheld and taught with so much care by coco. The plant medicine ceremonies performed by Pamela and Ivan are beautiful and cosmic. I truly had a life changing experience here. The food the place, the practice and journey has been amazing. Would always always recommend!!!
Sinan
This place is beyond my wildest imagination. I have traveled the world, trained with a lot of teachers and done a previous ashtanga TTC in India, but what Coco and her team has managed to create here is pure magic. There is an abundance of love and personality in all the details of this ashram. Everyday we would wake up to the Shala filled with candles and incense. We’d get deep adjustments from Coco and her team (special thanks to Josh) during our Mysore practice, unbelievable fresh and yummy vegan food, music and transformational ceremonies.
Renee Tvedt
I’ve participated in a 200h yoga teacher training course in August 2020 with Coco and there’s no words that would be enough to express how much I loved my experience. It was life changing for me. I felt like I was getting years of personal development in only a month. The course was really complete, including not just a yoga formation ,but also temazcal, kirtan, sound healing, cacao ceremony and optional bufo, kambo and ayahuasca ceremonies. The warm environment Coco created in the ashram made me feel home, surrounded by my brothers and sisters. The dedication of Coco is remarkable, she gives all of herself to help her students grow and this has simply no price. I’m so grateful for the learnings I got there and I would recommend One Breath of Yoga without hesitation to anyone looking for personal growth . Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the beautiful people that made it possible !

The Team
Coco Lepage
Born in Canada, Corinne (Coco) started to practice yoga more than 20 years ago after the birth of her son. With a background in both practicing and teaching ballet and contemporary dance for more than 16 years, Corinne warmed up to yoga easily. For her, yoga became much more than a physical practice; she felt very soon the connection between body, mind, and soul. Coco's mission is to share a new lifestyle living to aim to be a better person and caring for the planet.
Pamela Dharani
With over 13 years of experience in medicine and holistic therapies all around the world, Pamela formed her offerings through the teachings of her many different guides and masters. Interested in both traditional lineages and alternative Western healers, her studies include walking the red path, working with the Santo Daime Church, and learning from Shipibo and Quechua masters in Peru.
Ale Sai
With the gift of melting hearts when she sings, Ale embodies all the characteristics of Bhakti and devotion. Growing up with a father who was a talented Kirtan musician, she has naturally followed that path. She is a wonderful space holder in Cacao, Kirtan, Temazcal, and many other ceremonies, and it is an honor to have her as part of the Masters’ team.
Integration
It is the crucial part of all the shares the ashram offers. If it is an inner work it can be very helpful to ask for external support. We are happy to recommend Rebecca who will help to integrate through somatic therapy and offer continuity of the experiences.

A special combination
The combination of Ashtanga Yoga and plant medicine rituals such as Kambo, Bufo Alvarius, and Ayahuasca offers a profound path of transformation, weaving together the discipline of the body with the expansion of consciousness.
Through the structured breath, movement, and inner fire of Ashtanga, practitioners purify the physical and mental layers, preparing the vessel for deeper spiritual openings.
In ceremony, the sacred medicines act as powerful teachers, dissolving illusions and guiding participants into the essence of truth, healing, and unity.
Together, yoga and plant medicine create a synergy where the body becomes strong and open, the mind clear and surrendered, and the spirit free to experience the depth of self-realization and connection with the greater whole.
