Program

Ayurveda is the ancient system of Indian healing and means the “science or wisdom of life”. It is the original functional medicine as it includes many topics: health, diet, herbs, massage, body therapies, oils, food classification, and body types. Ayurveda places great emphasis on prevention and encourages the maintenance of health through close attention to balance in one’s life.

Knowledge of Ayurveda enables one to understand how to create this balance of body and mind and how to make lifestyle changes to bring about and maintain this balance. The retreat gives you the opportunity to explore Ayurveda and yoga in more depth and also enjoy the beautiful Yorkshire Dales and surroundings. The daily schedule includes meditation, yoga, and seminars or workshops on Ayurveda.
