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.

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.

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.

Testimony by Edgar
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.
