It was magical to tune into the rhythm of nature alongside such an inspiring group of people. I learned so much about nurturing myself through Ayurveda and movement that I will carry for life. A life-changing and unforgettable experience.

Daily Schedule
Start your day with yoga and meditation before workshops exploring somatic movement, dance and meditation. Dance is an expression of what you carry within and in its purest form does not require an audience, it’s just your body’s way of speaking to you through joyous and playful movement. Afternoons feature Ayurvedic treatments and consultations with doctors. See the full retreat schedule for more details on the daily program.
Ayurvedic Principles and Treatments
Ayurveda, meaning ‘the science of life’, provides a balanced approach focused on preventative healthcare. Personalised consultations and daily treatments guided by expert doctors aim to address physical, mental and energetic imbalances according to your unique constitution or ‘Prakruti’. Relaxation techniques, herbal therapies, massage and visualisation can awaken your internal wisdom and restore harmony.
