Many records (in the form of sacred texts) of the past teachings have been preserved and handed down in a long chain between teacher and student. These texts and teachings form the basis of a great tradition of yoga study that spans from the past to now. Within the yoga tradition there has always been great fluidity in the study and practice of the techniques. Teachers and students draw upon knowledge from multiple sources. They borrow techniques and synthesize philosophies to arrive at their methods of practice. Through the course of time, different teachers have founded schools, communities have sprung up around these teachers and they practice the techniques or view the nature of yoga in specific ways. As strong teachers come and go, schools, techniques, ways of thinking and practicing change, grow and evolve. An amazing intertwining of knowledge and methodology takes place, a melding of ideas, philosophies, and practices. The complexity of the weave of this yoga study makes it virtually impossible to come to an exhaustive or authoritative genealogy of yoga, and the further back you go the more obscure and untraceable the roots become. However certain texts from great, distant past have stood the test of time, the knowledge they offer has retained relevance and forms the basis of today’s study of yoga. These texts include the Upanishads, Tantra’s, stories from the great epics The Mahabharata and The Ramayana, Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra’s, The Shiva Samhita, Gheranda Samhita, Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Yoga Rahasya, Yoga Yajnavalkya and others.
The study of ashtanga yoga emerged from the legacy of the tradition of yoga study that utilized these texts as sources for creating effective yoga practices. The roots of ashtanga can be traced to the legendary, “Father of Modern Yoga”, T Krishnamacharya. He along with his student Sri K Pattabhi Jois brought forth the ashtanga method from material they found in an obscure, lost text known as the Yoga Korunta. They used this text in combination with knowledge from the sacred texts mentioned above to formulate the ashtanga system.Ashta= 8 . . . . . . . . Anga = Limb
The union of all eight limbs creates a holistic system and way of life. The eight limbs are outlined in the sacred text, Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.

Please enjoy a more detailed description of each step of your immersion.

Included in your Immersion:
Accommodations at the Airbnb
For your convenience, your total cost will cover a night's stay at our Airbnb, where the immersion will take place. After a full day of expanding and healing, it will feel so nice to be able to shower and crawl into bed, no worries about driving anywhere! You will wake up the next morning to a nourishing, organic breakfast being served, followed by our integration session, and finally closing & departure!
Pre Kambo Clearing
To assist Kambo in flowing through your body with more ease, Tiffany of Embodying Wholeness will connect to your subconscious to find exactly which stuck emotions need to be released, and any areas of your body that need to be energetically aligned. This simple but profound practice will give you the fullest benefit of this powerful Kambo medicine. (Tiffany is a Certified Emotion Code & Body Code Practitioner.)
1-on-1 Kambo Ceremony
You will have had a 1-on-1 intention setting session within two days prior to the immersion, so you can allow the deepest release during your Kambo ceremony. Katie will work with you solo, weaving your intention throughout your entire session while the medicine is on you. Both Water and Mapacho, a traditional, organic tobacco, will be used to help clear, ground, protect, and facilitate a deeper purge.
Post Kambo Clearing
While you rest post Kambo session, Tiffany will once again connect to your subconscious as it tells her exactly what you need to clear to integrate the frog medicine in the deepest way. Through muscle testing by proxy, your subconscious will tell her the single biggest, deep-seeded belief system hidden within the subconscious that needs to be released. In this way, the beautiful releasing you have done in your Kambo session is supported, and set free at an even deeper level. When an entire belief system is removed from the root and replaced with positivity...the changes are often fast and profound. (Tiffany is a Certified Belief Code Practitioner.)
Akashic Records
Once everyone has completed their post Kambo Clearing, Tiffany will guide you, as a group, into a journey of your soul's records. This is a space where every memory, emotion, and timeline your soul has ever experienced is lovingly kept and safeguarded. In this space, your highest Self and highest vibrational angels, light beings, ancestors and spirit team can speak with you more clearly. In this journey, you will be asking your guides to share how you can integrate this new version of you going forward. You will be given your own personal anchors so that once you return to your everyday life, you can be reminded of this new version of you. No worries if you don't think you've spoken with your guides before. Guidance will come, and you will be shown the way!
Nourishing Foods
Organic, nourishing foods will be cooked for you and provided throughout the Immersion. The week leading up to your Immersion, you will be asked to follow a Kambo diet, to allow for an easier ceremony with respect to the medicine. It is best to eliminate meat, fish, eggs, dairy, processed foods, sugary foods, spicy foods, and heavy or fried foods from your diet. This same protocol will be followed in the foods being offered to you throughout the day. We will also offer hydrating beverages in addition to clean water.
Integration
This portion of your immersion is arguably the most important. Before you depart, we will discuss vital components to integrate smoothly and with ease, so you can set yourself up for success and continue to work with the medicine and your "anchors" in the days and weeks to follow.
*We will also schedule a group integration zoom call 1 week after your immersion for additional support and encouragement.
