YOUR HOSTS
AYA KUNDALINI YOGA
Hi, I’m Rena!
A mix of Namasté, Saravá, and Haux.
I paddle my boat toward everything that involves expanding consciousness.
I’ve taught yoga in India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, the Philippines, and Bali, specializing in the energetic activation of the subtle body. My main field of research is Chakra Activation and Kundalini Energy.
In my work as a tantric therapist, I combine ancient Indian techniques—deeply rooted in breathwork and movement—with a modern, responsible, and ethical approach to working with sexual energy, understanding the entire body as sacred, nudity as natural, and desire as an expression of individuality. I also integrate tools from Umbanda Shamanism, a Brazilian tradition that connects us to the spirit through the elements of nature.
My mission is to help people recognize their own healing potential by discovering new dimensions of themselves. I cultivate a mindful and caring approach, especially with women, positioning myself as a bridge for them to reconnect with their natural cycles.
Music, breathwork, movement, and a plant-based diet are my favorite medicines—but a good chocolate cake also works wonders for my mood.
What inspires me is putting on a backpack, digging my hands into the soil, and talking about the mysteries of the universe.
I’m easily captivated by the simple and authentic aspects of life.

Inspired by the Indigenous communities' harmonious relationship with the land, Riverside offers local and local meals, circular waste systems, eco-friendly infrastructure, river access, an organic food garden, and wellness & ceremonial spaces.

It is a three-story building, has 15 individual wooden desks with ergonomic chairs, 3 meeting rooms, a hammock area and a breathtaking 360° panoramic view over the mountains. The space is powered by both fiber optic internet and Starlink, with emergency solar panels in the event of any electricity issues arising.
ABOUT JERICO
Jericó is not only an important cultural town for Colombia , but also a true heaven for outdoor and nature enthusiasts. The region features countless waterfalls, natural parks (including ‘Las Nubes’), hiking trails, biking routes, breathtaking viewpoints, paragliding & horseback riding adventures. The region is most known for its world-renowned traditional coffee farms.
High (2,000 meter above sea level) altitude, rich volcanic soil, and tropical climate makes for the perfect conditions to grow what is considered to be one of the best coffee beans in the world. Además, Jericó is a ‘pueblo mágico’, a colorful town with friendly people (we’ve been there, it’s true!), cafés & restaurants, museums, a botanical garden, and of course, a true Colombian ‘campesino’ vibe.
GETTING THERE
The closest airport to Riverside is Jose Maria Cordova International Airport (Medellin). Our retreat location, Riverside, is located a 7-min drive from the beautiful town of Jericó. From Medellin to Jericó by car is a 2.5 hours drive.
By Bus
There are buses from Medellin City Center, Terminal del Sur (located in El Poblado neighbourhood) to Jericó every hour from 6am to 5pm every day. Once you arrive at the bus terminal, find gate 19 or ask terminal staff where to find the buses to Jericó. A one-way trip costs approximately US$12 or $41,000 Colombian pesos (COP). Ask us - we can help you book your bus ticket!
By Private Transfer
We can help you arrange for a private transfer service from Medellin city center or Medellin Airport directly to Riverside. This option is more expensive but offers comfort and convenience. The price varies from US$90 to US$120 depending on the time of day (day or evening/night transfer). An idea would be to team up with other participants and split the cost of the private transfer!

Renata states her mission is to help heal the world through her hands and energetic spirit- She is able to do this because she has put in the time and attention to become an expert in a range of complimentary modalities and it shows in her classes. Take her classes and I guarantee your life will be better for it (like me and the 15 others that we part of her retreat).

I´m beyond grateful for Rena´s power to connect you in every single yoga class & sesión. I´ve witnessed her magic and power to connect you to your inner source of fire and light, from kundalini yoga, vinyasas, inner dances, breathworks, always with so much love, respect and care. Every sesión has been super special and powerful, and I can´t wait for more.

The kundalini activation - innerdance session was really special to me. I am quite shy and easily uncomfortable in this kind of exercises but Renata made me feel safe and at ease. She took the time to speak with me and focused a bit more on the points that trigger me.
I felt listened, seen and helped by Renata. I totally recommend anyone to have a session with her.

I took part in several of Renata's workshops, such as innerdance and rapé circle. All of the experiences have been facilitated with great professionalism, care, and comfort. Personally, the feeling of safety Renata has been able to create has been the most important aspect of the experiences. Even though I was new to a lot of tools and techniques she used, the feeling of comfort and safety allowed me to fully immerse myself in the experiences and take the most from them! All of the experiences have been very deep and allowed me to process a lot of things in my life. I am very grateful!

During the Nomad Farm retreat at Sítio Tudo É Arte, Renata was instrumental as a yoga teacher and facilitator.
As a beginner who is not in good shape (low weight, low strength, low flexibility), yoga is a challenging experience, although it is one of the most rewarding ones. Renata did an amazing job helping me when I was struggling, providing great and accurate advice and recommendations at the right moments. Not knowing too much about different styles of yoga, I cannot say much about the tecnhical elements of her practice, as well as the variety of it, but I can truly say that every time we did yoga we worked on different poses and exercises, which allowed us a very complete overall experience over 4 weeks. I want to say that for me in particular, the kundalini activation yoga was the highlight, since I had some negative energies that I was truly able to release while we were doing that 1 hour activation and release. I felt incredibly light and reinvigorated after that experience, and it came exactly at the moment in my life that I was most in need of it. I believe that this was not a coincidence, and when we truly want to work on ourselves and heal ourselves from negative thoughts and energies, life will find a way to bring us those opportunities. For me, doing yoga with Renata was just that, an incredible opportunity to work on myself and grow, in a safe and comfortable space, where I felt protected by Renata and also our fellow yoga students.
Renata is also great at facilitating inner dance and breathwork ceremonies. Through her breathwork in particular, I felt healing and spiritual connections that I had never felt before.
I am forever grateful to Renata for sharing her practice with us, and hope that we can have more learning experiences together soon.
