This retreat is an invitation to integrate Ayurveda into your daily lives in simple ways that have a profound healing effect on your health and well-being.
There is a concept in Ayurveda called Dinacharya which comes from the root words 'Dina,' meaning 'day' and 'Charya,' which means 'guidelines' or 'to be founded in.' Thus meaning 'to be founded in the day' or as in Sanscrit defined as "the daily routine". According to Ayurveda one should follow Dinacharya in order to lead a healthy and disease free life. Ayurveda gives more emphasis on prevention of diseases than treating a disease. The wisdom of wellness in daily life in Ayurveda really provides a map for health and longevity. The small habits that we cultivate regularly actually have deep long-term benefits for yourselves and your families.
Our daily retreat rhythm will include gentle somatic and therapeutic yoga practices, pranayama, restorative yoga nidra, walking meditation, visualisations, guidelines, notes and talks around Ayurveda and living an Ayurvedic lifestyle. All within a contemplative framework of silence to allow us to deepen our connection with our Prakriti - essential nature. No previous experience is required and this retreat is suitable for all levels and ages.
