Deaf Yoga: Living in Love - Peru 2026

It brings me so much joy to host another retreat here in this magical part of the world!

We will spend our time nestled in the luscious green mountains of the Sacred Valley in Peru. Focussing on the energy around us and within us.

Samadhi is a beautiful second home for our retreat - created with love by a wonderful Peruvian family who you'll meet during your stay.

This is a trip of a life time where you will connect not only with yourselves but also with Pachamama, our Mother Earth.

I love facilitating spaces so people can thrive and there's no better place than to do it than here in the mountains - it truly is a magical place.

Peru is my favourite country in the world - and I've explored 50 countries of it. It's something that can only be understood when you experience it with your own eyes and it's unmatchable. All I can say is, it's something that will live with you forever!

Our retreat schedule will look a little something like this!

Spend your days waking with the sunrise, if you're lucky you may even catch a glimpse of the humming birds as you drink your morning tea.

Making your way up to the Sun Shala, where we will look out onto the mountains and flow through our morning yoga practice. After our soul workout we will head down to the dining room for breakfast. All the food has been foraged from the chakra gardens or sourced from the mountains themselves - you will get to learn how they do this during your time and even experience a wonderful cooking class with the divine chef!

Most days will be filled with activities you can drop in and out of. Like painting in the mountains, or making pottery. Exploring creativity whilst connecting with our inner child and getting creative in the kitchen with our wonderful chef!

Or a trip to the local markets of Pisac!

There will be an option to visit the Alpaca's in the mountain where you can have a bath with them! This will be an additional cost - or you can rest at Samadhi.

Speaking of rest - you'll have time between the schedule to just do you! Spend your free time in the relaxation pool or get a facial or massage. Walk around the chakra gardens and the grounds - you will notice how much detail has truly gone into this place. Whatever 'relaxation' means to you - you'll find it here.

Lunch will be on the table waiting for us - trust me you'll start getting excited to see what colours they bring to the table, day by day! Oh, and there's also an onsite cafe just for us with a wonderful menu of hot cacao, different coffees, vegan treats, elixir drinks and sweet treats! There's even a little boutique for wonderful jewellery, clothing and gifts.

This whole retreat is about making daily choices, what you feel like, what your body needs, what encourages you to step into your power. Everything is optional! Giving you the freedom to listen to what you really desire, expansion? change? growth? rest? it's all yours! Day by day, choice by choice - you have the power to shape your retreat, and well, your life.

Finishing the day with a workshop or activity in the Moon Shala or in the chakra gardens. Having a yummy 3 course dinner and a soul circle - where we have the opportunity to share wisdom or just sit back and listen.

Through out the week we will get to know ourselves a little more, as well as creating connection with others. There will be an option to take part in the Temazcal, our traditional sweat lodge. This is a fantastic experience to release and let go of anything that's holding you back from stepping into your best self! This is a 3 hour ceremony guided by a shaman, where you will be held in a safe space with heat, challenging the senses and ultimately, being 'born' back into the world as the person you want to move through life as. Your best self.

This is a strongly recommended practice - but you will have the choice to take part. Remember everything is a choice! This is a spiritual practice and a life changing experience and a beautiful wrap up to a magical week.

A Temazcal sweat lodge replicates the earth's womb. The ceremony is a journey of renewal and healing that is led by a shaman or healer. It begins with a welcoming ceremony by the shaman guide. Then you enter the Temazcal, already at a high temperature, where you will take a seat in a circle around the hot stones and special herbs that will cleanse your body and mind. During the process, the shaman will perform the ritual to purify and renew you.

Feed the alpacas whilst bathing in the mountains? Erm, yes please.

Explore the colourful markets of Pisac. Let's go!

Getting creative with paints or just become a kid again and splat the board. Art is Art babes!

Meet Your Facilitator!

Bethaney (left) the retreat facilitator will be taking you through yoga and intuitive workshops, journalling sessions and soul circle discussions. Bethaney has been practicing yoga on the mat since 2015. It was in 2018 that she decided to embark on an immersive yoga teacher training course in Thailand. Ever since, this has evolved into creating space for people to step into their power as their best possible selves, through online courses, in person events and retreats.

Running day retreats, mini festivals, weekend retreats and now international retreats in places like Peru and Morocco. It's an exciting time for Sign Yoga to bring back another Peru retreat.

If you can't make the allocated time for the minibus to the retreat you may have to book your own taxi (around $65)The minibus pick up will be from Cusco square (address will be confirmed nearer time incase of any local festivals etc but everything is very close to each other) This will be at 11am on 11th June 2026. We will arrive at the venue by 1pm.The minibus will take us back to Cusco on 17th June 2026 at 11am, arriving in Cusco by 1pm. If your flight arrives later then you may have to pay for your own transport (easy to book but costs vary around 66 USD)

Anyway, I'll let the photos from last years retreat do the talking (just mentally cut and paste yourself there).

Flight information:

Flights are not included and you will be responsible for arranging your own travel. However, you will be added into a whatsapp group where you will meet other guests! In the past people have ended up finding a travel buddy or even hung out in Cusco before the retreat!

You will need to fly into Cusco Airport (Peru) - This may mean you will need to book a flight to Lima Airport (Peru) and then catch a short flight into the mountains - Cusco! If you have more time to play with to see the diversity of Peru, you can jump on the PeruHop (tourist designed bus route) which has lots of excursions on the way. If you wanted to this then I'd recommend up to a week to travel from Lima to Peru by bus (and enjoying the sites!). But if you want to focus on the retreat and your time in Cusco - it's the place to be!

I strongly recommend staying in Cusco for a bit longer before or after the retreat. It is such a great place to explore! If you have more flexibility then the whole of Peru is just magical, I recommend looking into the PeruHop if you're looking to travel outside of Cusco (and even down to Bolivia if you wanted to on the same bus!).

I do not recommend doing anything crazy when you arrive in Cusco due to the high altitude. Resting is important and taking gentle walks around the town and markets (worth it - so much to see just walking around!).

I strongly recommend not going up Rainbow Mountain or doing anything too physical when you arrive just so you can slowly acclimatise. A few days is ample for adjusting so book any excursions after a few days or after the retreat.

Please take this into account when you're thinking of visiting Cusco, Peru. Our retreat centre is based in The Sacred Valley (90 minute drive from Cusco) is at a lower altitude to Cusco so it's an ideal place to acclimatise! So, even if you arrive on the day of the retreat - you will be driving down to lower altitude with milder symptoms.

This retreat will be led in British Sign Language

*open to anyone over the age of 18, any gender, hearing or deaf welcome but this will be in BSL only!
