I am so excited to bring this dream to life — taking our Quantum community beyond the studio and into a once-in-a-lifetime journey to one of the world’s most mythic and transforming places.
This isn’t just travel—it’s connection. To yourself, to the people beside you, and to those that have walked this trail long before us. It’s movement that tests you and carries you forward, steady and relentless. It’s presence—the kind we practice in class —getting out of your head and into the raw immediacy of the air, the dirt, the rhythm of your breath. It’s using your body the way it was built to move and feeling unmistakably, powerfully alive.
Come to laugh, to sweat, to share stories under the stars and to build bonds that will last a lifetime.
If you've got any questions - please feel free to chat with me in the studio or email me at [email protected]
Hope to see you on the trail -

Huchuy Qosqo: A Day of Cultural Immersion & Earth Connection
This transformative full-day journey blends wellness, nature, and ancient tradition as we trek along sacred Inca trails through the Andes to the hidden site of Huchuy Qosqo. Beginning with an early morning departure from Cusco or the Sacred Valley, we hike through highland plateaus, crossing serene mountain passes and valleys. Along the way, we nourish ourselves with organic Andean snacks and pause for breathtaking views, allowing space for presence and reflection.
Upon arrival at Huchuy Qosqo, a local Andean shaman leads a traditional gratitude ceremony to honor Pachamama (Mother Earth), inviting deep connection to the land and ancestral spirits. A light plant-based picnic lunch follows before we explore the sacred ruins barefoot—feeling the textures of ancient stone, soil, and grass beneath our feet for a grounding, sensory experience. We descend to the valley and return to our hotel for rest and dinner (not included), followed by an evening fire ceremony and coca leaf reading. The day closes with a traditional blessing, leaving you recharged, connected, and inspired by the spirit of the Andes. Get some rest as tomorrow, we hike the Inca Trail.
Meals Included: B, L
The Inca Trail hike starts today! With a transfer to Ollantaytambo we reach KM 82 and lace up our boots to begin trekking. The trail follows the Urubamba River, weaving through highland valleys and cloud forest edges, guided by experienced porters and a certified trekking guide. As the route unfolds, ancient stonework emerges at Patallacta, a striking archaeological site nestled in the mountains, offering the first glimpse into the grandeur of the civilization that once thrived here.
After a nourishing lunch on the trail, the group continues toward the first campsite, where the day winds down in the stillness of the Andes. The spirit of the journey is just beginning to take shape.
At our campsite we have the opportunity to unwind with a hands-on Andean cooking experience right at your scenic campsite. Led by a local guide, this two-hour session invites you to explore Peru’s rich culinary traditions as you prepare iconic dishes like fresh trout ceviche and causa limeña—a vibrant layered dish made with native potatoes, lime, chili, avocado, and your choice of filling. Learn the stories behind each ingredient and technique. This relaxed afternoon is the perfect blend of nourishment, culture, and connection.

Another day of hiking awaits! Today's journey takes us up to Warmiwañusca, also known as Dead Woman's Pass - the highest point of the Inca Trail at 4,215 meters. The climb is steady and challenging, with sweeping views of the surrounding Andes as the trail winds through high-altitude grasslands.
In the afternoon, we descend toward Pacaymayo, a quiet valley where our camp for the night is set up. After arriving, there's time to rest in the peaceful mountain setting.

The day unfolds among three remarkable Inca sites: Runkurakay, with its rare circular design, Sayacmarca, a fortress carved into the mountainside, and Phuyupatamarca, rising above the clouds. As you make your steps through the trail, it feels like traveling back in time to ancient Incan days.
Later, the trail begins its descent into the lush cloud forest. Stone steps lead to Wiñay Wayna, a stunning complex of agricultural terraces and ritual baths clinging to the mountainside. Often considered one of the most beautiful sites on the trail, Wiñay Wayna feels suspended between sky and jungle. After a very active journey, the night is spent camping surrounded by the quiet pulse of the forest.

One final push before we make it to our goal. After an early start, the Sun Gate reveals Machu Picchu in all its glory, a powerful reward after four days on the trail. Standing before this ancient wonder, the sense of accomplishment and awe is unforgettable. There'll be an optional meditation and gratitude practice before the guided tour. Our leader uncovers the history of this Incan site and you visit terraces, sacred temples, and intricate stonework. Overall, you'll get an understanding of how this hidden city was both a royal retreat and a spiritual center.
A relaxing and scenic Vistadome train ride to Cusco provides a great chance to sit back, rest and enjoy the landscapes from a different point of view.
On arrival we have some free time for dinner (optional) as a group or at your own leisure.
