Living Ayurveda: The Wisdom of Wellness In Daily Life
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. Our days will be filled with simple and ancient rhythms - waking and sleeping, movement and stillness, inhalations and exhalations, self-nurturing rituals, nourishing food, stillness and activity.
In Ayurveda the word 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 (breathwork), restorative yoga nidra (deep relaxation), walking meditation, visualisations, guidelines, notes and talks around Ayurveda and living an Ayurvedic lifestyle. The retreat will be held in a quiet atmosphere 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.
Brighten your day and step into spring. Join us for a personal retreat mid week. Meditation and qigong are on offer. Alternatively, you may choose to simply enjoy the tranquillity of the space and embrace the art of doing nothing – seriously. This time out offers a slower rhythm, allowing you to step back from the busyness of life and find peace within.
