**Ecstatic Dance.** Helps us to access states of deep embodied consciousness, leading us into profoundly healing and meditative states of peace, freedom and joy. It has been practiced throughout human history and used in shamanic traditions to support the release of stuck emotions and energetic blockages, resulting in increased body awareness and a greater sense of connection. When we allow our bodies to move from a place of inquiry, we open up to the healing potential of intentional movement.Open the heart with Cacao and Release with inner child of joy and abundant pleasure through dance.

Message From Hatha Art Pisac

We believe that stillness is just one side of a spiritual way of life, we must explore as well our creative expressions and then fill them with authenticity, for they can serve a highest good.

Hatha Art is born then to be a place to recharge yourself and flourish, surrounded by beauty, peaceful nature, birds singing and talented people sharing their gifts. It feels intimate as much as in community.

The concept came from our teacher plants, to create safe spaces for integration, great for before & after retreats with plants/ pre & post dieta, to create a safe healing space for retreats, substance-free housing, that’s why our Yoga guesthouse in Pisac is your home away from home.
