Ayurveda Tailored for You Retreat, 12-14 Apr 2019

 Registration is closed for this event
On this introductory Ayurveda weekend, you will learn how to keep yourself happy, healthy and vibrant. Ayurveda focuses on diet, lifestyle, yoga, meditation and natural therapies, and like a compass it can give you the direction you need to take in your life.

Welcome to the wonderful and fascinating world of Ayurveda! This introductory weekend will give you a practical understanding of Ayurveda which you can then use to keep yourself and your loved ones happy, healthy and vibrant.

How do you make sense of a vast variety of health information that is often contradictory? Ayurveda offers a logical way forward. This traditional natural healing system from India focuses on diet, lifestyle, yoga, meditation and natural therapies, and like a compass it can give you the direction you need to take in your life.

In Ayurveda, there are three constitution types or ‘doshas’. Finding your unique constitution gives you a way of developing an effective personal plan to bring you an abundance of health and vitality.

What you will learn about: 

  • background and philosophy of Ayurveda
  • the elements and the doshas
  • how to discover your dosha type
  • how to recognise when your dosha is in balance and when it is not
  • what diet, lifestyle, yoga, meditation and therapies are balancing and rejuvenating for you.

You'll have a great time!

The format of our Dru retreats will vary with region, but here's an idea of some of the content you can expect:

  • yoga, pranayama and meditation specific to the doshas
  • an understanding of spicing and a cookery demonstration
  • your own personal 'dinacharya' (daily ayurvedic plan)
  • how to live in harmony with nature for optimal health
  • the rejuvenating power of meditation and deep relaxation
  • a great retreat in our magnificent mountain retreat setting

I've been to this retreat before - will I benefit by coming again?

Absolutely!!! We carefully craft our timetable to match the needs of the people, the time of the year and - of course - our own delight in exploring ayurveda's many frontiers. So, most of the time you'll be learning new techniques from one retreat to another, and even when we do repeat a technique you'll discover it in a whole new depth.
