FUN STORY!

The woman on the right signed up for the May 2023 Women’s Trip to Peru. She had been there before 15 years ago on a similar trip and was excited to go back. Little did we know that her Peruvian guide back in 2007 is the same guide that I work with! The two reunited after 15 years, spending the week together again in the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu and Cusco!!

MUÑA: A FAVORITE AMONG PERUVIAN HERBS 🍃

High in the Andes, there are numerous Peruvian herbs and plants known for their medicinal properties and delicious flavors.

🌿✨ They have been in use since the time of the Incas, who used them to fight different diseases, as well as to flavor their meals.

One of the Peruvian herbs you will most love is muña, a mint-like Peruvian medicinal plant that makes for excellent tea. Muña, also sometimes called Andean mint, is known for its ability to stay such a vibrant color even during the bitter cold months of dry season, and for its lovely small white flowers.

📝TESTIMONIAL TUESDAY AGAIN!

I approach teaching yoga with the same motivation as when I bring people to Peru … an act of service.

So grateful that my yogis trust me to guide them in their own journey of self discovery.

“It was 2018 and I had never done yoga before. I felt a little scared and self-conscious about trying it out. Leigha gave my boyfriend and me private sessions and was so gentle in her approach to guiding us through the poses and helping me feel comfortable in my body. She is knowledgeable yet still fun-loving and doesn’t take it too seriously. I am so happy that I had Leigha to introduce me to yoga, because now I feel like I can confidently and comfortably go and take yoga classes in Denver.” - Emma T

Hi friends! A little reintroduction here …

My name is Leigha Brooke (I prefer Brooke) and I’ve led small group adventures to Peru for almost ten years. I have also taught yoga for 22 years and incorporate spirituality into each day we are here.

Speaking of yoga, I’m doing legs up the wall now at my apartment in Cusco because I just got back from one of the most intense treks of my life (Choquequirao trek) 🌸

At first I only brought groups (3-6 people) to trek in the northern region of Peru on a circuit in the Cordillera Huayhuash mountain range. It’s strenuous to complete the entire circuit which takes 8-9 days, but a more mellow option is the “mini Huayhuash” which can be done in 2-4 days.

In 2018 I made it to the South of Peru,  which is where Cusco Machu Picchu in the sacred valley are located. I know that most people have Machu Picchu on their bucket list, and believe me, it is not overrated! It’s a MUST  if you love, history, natural beauty, and sacred spaces.

I’m so thrilled that I have enough feel for the region after five years and many trips here, that I can share sacred transformational experiences in Peru.

Again, I have the best clients! I’m so lucky to enjoy Peru with others year after year! 🇵🇪
