A Cerrado yoga stay in Alto Paraíso, Chapada dos Veadeiros: a four-sided shala, a private river on the land, earthen cottages, and a Yoga Holiday Karí Váss still guides.

Feel

The place

Karí still holds the Brazil house

ashiyana.com/brazil names Karí Váss as founder of Ashiyana Brasil, yoga teacher and somatic therapist, beside brasil@ashiyana.com.

The four-sided shala

ashiyanabrazil.com prints a purpose-built hall for up to 70 mats, wooden ceiling, curtains opening to the Cerrado, open on four sides.

A river on the land

The same site names a private river a short walk from the cottages, clear and shallow, lined with quartz pebbles, used for swimming and stillness.

Earthen cottages

Ten hand-built cottages with en-suite bathrooms, private decks and forest views, up to 27 guests. The Yoga Holiday page names Double Suite and Shared Suite.

A printed Yoga Holiday rate

Shared room R$450 per person per night. Private room R$750. Card payment confirms dates on ashiyanabrazil.com/yoga-holiday.

Our read

Ashiyana Brasil is worth the journey because the practice happens in a four-sided shala on Cerrado land that also has a private river, not because Alto Paraíso added another pousada with a yoga mat in the garden.

Come here for

  • Travellers who will leave Brasília for daily yoga, vegetarian meals, and a river on the land in Chapada dos Veadeiros, not a town hotel with a spa list
  • People who can live with a vegetarian kitchen, no alcohol, and a flexible Yoga Holiday rather than a fixed clinical programme
  • Guests who want Karí's classes, or a private chalé with no timetable, and who will book dates on ashiyanabrazil.com

Skip it if

  • You want a hotel bar, meat-forward dining, or a stay with no practice on the land. The Yoga Holiday page prints a vegetarian kitchen and no alcohol.
  • You need lunch included by default, or a locked clinical itinerary. Two buffet meals are included. Lunch is on request. The day is printed as a sample rhythm, not a guaranteed timetable.

We’d rather send you somewhere else than send you somewhere that doesn’t suit you.
