About this Retreat
Jahendo is the perfect balance of sacred and silly, guiding people through mystical journeys of prayer and devotion while encouraging fun and light-heartedness.
His favorite thing to do is sing devotional heart songs. He enjoys leading song circles, guiding meditations & yoga classes, sharing cacao, & leading ceremonies.
On the practical side, he also loves leading group projects, teaching permaculture, delegating tasks, managing volunteers and the beloved local staff, and maintaining the overall vision for the Farm.
His favorite thing in the world is to encourage people to open their voices and hearts through intentional singing. His biggest passion is inspiring others to manifest their dreams through clarity of vision, alignment of words, and hard work and motivation to create the life of dreams!
Jahendo’s journey began in 2013 in a Yogananda Ashram where he fell in love with the practice of yoga. He loved the intentional community and decided to dedicate his life to creating and cultivating community.
He learned the practice of Shamanism and Earth-based ritual at the Omega Institute, then completed a Permaculture Design Course at the Sunrise Ranch. He fell in love with permaculture and sustainability and began leading ceremonies and rituals.
In 2015 he went to Envision Festival in Costa Rica, then to a Rainbow Gathering for 30 days, and then discovered his new home and school, Finca Morpho. After having studied all of these New Earth places, he had a grand vision of what he wanted to create for his life.
In 2015, Jahendo discovered the Mystical Yoga Farm, completed a 200-hour YTT with the School Yoga Institute, and soon after became Farm Manager.
He fell in love with the land and the project, loving that they bridged the worlds of his passions Yoga, Ceremony, and Permaculture. And he started our Volunteer Program, which runs strong to this day!
He went back to Finca Morpho for a 9-month permaculture apprenticeship and returned to MYF as Permaculture Coordinator, starting MYF’s journey towards Zero Waste, creating a recycling center onsite.
He then completed his 300-hour YTT with SYI in the Sacred Valley of Peru, working with plant medicine and deepening his knowledge of yoga. He then came back as Spiritual Spaceholder and manager, and eventually became the new owner of MYF in January 2022!
Jahendo now manages the MYF alongside his beloved booboo, Sunny D. His main mission is to Inspire the Creative Life Force in All Beings.
He strives to regenerate the Earth, making templates of sustainable systems that inspire others to reduce their impact and create positive change in the world.
Meet Sunny Day, she is the MoManager, Heart Keeper, and Kitty Mama of the Mystical Yoga Farm. Sunny is kindhearted and grounded, she is a beautiful example of how to live a life full of compassion.
She inspires everyone she meets to live with an open heart, to share their voice, and to be in peace and harmony with each other and Mother Earth. Sunny can lighten up even the darkest of rooms with her smile and playfulness.
Her favorite way to teach yoga is incorporating singing and/or dancing. She often calls her classes “flowga” to really empower people to flow with their own body and breath. Sunny is also available for 1 on 1 support, to be a neutral ear to listen and to help resolve any conflicts that may arise.
This is why we call her the Mama of the farm. She will comfort anyone with open arms and a big bear hug.
Sunny first came to volunteer at the MYF in November 2018. During these 4 months, she rose in love with this land, community, and project. She could hear the land speaking to her, inviting her to root down at the MYF and step into a leadership role.
She knew there were a few more things she needed to learn outside of the farm before she could take on this commitment. She returned in December 2019 to see how she could serve this project on a greater level.
During the pandemic in 2020, Sunny became the heartkeeper of the MYF, keeping the small community onsite calm and present in their heart space during these unsure times in the world. As restrictions began to lift she quickly shifted into the Farm Manager.
In this role, Sunny responds to emails, coordinates guests/volunteers/facilitators, and on a physical level helps out with just about anything on the farm from cleaning, guiding ceremonies, teaching yoga, cooking up the most delicious cacao, welcoming guests, and the list goes on.
