What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda, “The Science of Life” originated in India more than 5,000 years ago. It emphasizes on prevention and allows you to reach your optimal state of balanced, natural health by understanding one’s individual constitution through learning about your relationship with the five elements.
What is Dry Needling?
It is a very effective form of therapy that involves the use of needles to stimulate and break up knotted or hard muscle tissue usually located deeper in the body.
The needling stimulates the oxygenation of the contracted muscle fibers and the fascia, reduces inflammation, and improves blood circulation and energy flow thus reducing the local tension in the tissue. It works extremely well especially if you have a very sore muscle or stiffness and cannot take a massage.
It helps with pain management and improves flexibility and range of motion. This one’s all about sweet pain!

Retreat location
Kasar Devi is a village near Almora, Uttarakhand. Kasar Devi is endowed with an enormous geomagnetic field and a cosmic energy similar to that of UK’s Stonhenge and Peru’s Machu Pichu where high positive radiations can be felt. Hence, it is believed to be a perfect place for meditation and inner healing. The beautiful and famous Kasar Devi temple is where Swami Vivekananda meditated and Bob Dylan and George Harrison have spent time. It is just a kilometer away from your stay.
