Svadhyaya
Welcome to our space!
Svadhyaya
Only one kilometer away from the famous natural site of Pozo de la Vieja, very close to Villa de Leyva, you can find Savitri’s land. It gathers the magnificence of the mountains, the flow of water, the refuge of the forest, the ancestral memory of the stones, sufficient space to play meditate, sing and dance. In between Hayuelos, Guayabos, and Cucharos (native trees), we will find ourselves in the freedom forest.
We are building a space so that yoga, dance, music, theatre and life pulsations can come out beyond the city walls and be integrated with the earth forces.
In Svadhyaya we will offer:

It is a technique coming from contemporary dance, born in the US and expanded throughout the whole world. It is a study of corporal weight and its possibility to share it with other dancers. This technique can be approached from somatics, acrobatics, or as performance, depending on the focus that is given. Savitri includes this service as a communication tool for couples, friends or family.

Walks in Nature
Villa de Leyva’s surroundings are nests of magic, adventure, and ancestors. From the lake where the origin myth is born in the Muisca cosmology, to the Candelaria desert, from the majesty of the mountains to the abundance of the waterfalls, the natural environment of what our ancestors used to call the sacred Valley of Zaquencipá is calling us to meet the Natural beauty with that which we have within us. We arrange walks to amazing places, many of them unknown to the common tourist. We provide a time for contemplation, gratitude and an organic relationship with the environment.
Healthy Food
We choose local food, and preferably vegetarian, because we want healthy bodies, because we love the earth and we want her free of chemicals, genetically modified crops, and extensive mono-crops, because we want to see forests and not cow pastures. Our food choice is both to care for our health, and a political decision.
Rest
We are building two lovely options for you to sleep in Savitri:
- Shared bedroom in rural traditional house.
- Accommodation in Eco habitat in the middle of nature, access to kitchen, dream bathroom (hot water) and idyllic garden.
