Ashiyana Brasil Chapada dos Veadeiros
Your time of rest, movement and renewal in Brazil
A flexible yoga and wellbeing stay in one of the most powerful natural landscapes on Earth. You choose your dates. You set your pace.
Find your datesWhat this is
Set in Alto Paraíso, deep in the Cerrado of Chapada dos Veadeiros, Ashiyana Brasil offers a peaceful environment where the land, the water, the food and the people all carry the same quiet intention.
Unlike a fixed retreat, the Yoga Holiday is flexible. You choose your dates, your pace and how deeply you wish to participate. Each day offers a balance of movement, rest, nature, nourishing meals and space to simply be.
This is not about pushing, achieving or following a rigid programme. It is about returning to rhythm.
What we explore
Each day is built around four simple foundations. Not a programme. A rhythm.
Daily yoga and mindful movement to awaken the body, release tension and create vitality.
Vegetarian meals prepared with fresh local ingredients and conscious care.
Time in the Cerrado, river baths, silence and the grounding presence of Chapada.
Space to slow down, sleep deeply, receive therapies and listen inwardly.
A day at Ashiyana
Your days may look like this. Or different. The experience adapts to you, the season and the rhythm of the group.
Schedule varies by season, teacher availability and the group's rhythm. Lunch can be arranged on request for guests who prefer to stay on site rather than head out for the day.
Life at Ashiyana
Waterfalls, yoga, fire, community, silence. This is what a week here feels like.
The space
The main yoga shala is fully equipped and open to the Cerrado air on four sides. Morning light, birdsong and total silence.
An elevated wooden deck overlooks the valley, used for sunrise practice, sound baths, ceremony or sitting with tea while the cerrado wakes up.
A private river runs through the land. Clear, shallow, lined with quartz pebbles. Walk to it in minutes. No permits, no schedule.
Spacious cottages with en-suite bathrooms, private decks and forest views. Walking distance from the shala. Availability is limited each season.
Nourishment
Two buffet meals per day are included in your stay. Vegetarian and plant-based, prepared with fresh ingredients from local Chapada producers.
A colourful breakfast after morning practice. Fruits and natural drinks through the day. A light dinner followed by an evening experience. Lunch can be arranged on request.
Conscious, healthy and vegetarian. No alcohol. Brazilian ingredients and flavours are part of the experience, many grown or foraged from the Cerrado itself, the second largest biome in Brazil and one of the least known in the world.
Accommodation
All rooms have en-suite bathrooms, private decks, cross-ventilation and forest views.
For couples or solo travellers
Twin or double, shared occupancy
Surrounded by the Cerrado forest

Helena, Bosnia and Herzegovina, via Booking.comIncredible location in the middle of the forest. Comfortable chalets, spacious and clean, with a beautiful sofa looking out over the forest. Incredible peace. Very big shower, everything spotless.
Beatrice, Italy, via Booking.comWe stayed at Ashiyana in early May and loved it. A warm and comfortable space. I highly recommend it if you want an immersive nature experience without giving up comfort.
Andressa, Brazil, via Booking.comGood to know
A few honest answers before you decide.
Yes. Women travelling on their own are our main audience, it's who we know best how to welcome. Ashiyana Brasil is a small, contained retreat center set on private land, with our team present throughout your stay and airport transfers available on request. You are never on your own here unless you want to be.
No experience is required. Classes are gentle and adaptable to every body and every level, from complete beginners to experienced practitioners. The invitation is to move at your own pace, not to perform.
Full payment is made securely by card at the time of booking, confirming your dates instantly. Cancellation terms are shared directly with you once your dates are set, so you always know exactly where you stand before committing.
That is completely normal, and part of why the Yoga Holiday exists. Reach out with a rough window in mind and we will help you find the right dates together.
Come as you are.
You are welcome exactly as you are. Ashiyana Brasil is not just a place to stay. It is a way of living. The rhythm of the day becomes simpler here. The body begins to soften.
