Ayurveda Retreats

Ayurvedic retreats are nurturing escapes that follow the ancient Indian principles of Ayurveda, also known as “the science of life,” to provide you with a novel approach to wellness. Often referred to as the “Mother of All Healing,” Ayurveda is all about alignment, balance, and individuality, offering you the opportunity to make profound, long-lasting changes in your life.

Begin your journey with an individual health consultation that will identify your personal ‘dosha’, or constitution, and then follow a programme of health and wellbeing offerings designed specifically around your needs. These schedules include daily massages, ancient oil therapy, herbal remedies and other detoxification treatments in order to both alleviate the symptoms of your suffering and address the root causes.

Ayurvedic retreats allow you to feel seen and held as our experienced, professional teams create a nourishing roster of treatments and nutrition to enable you to connect more deeply with your body, relax your mind, and feel refreshed and revitalised from the inside out.

Ayurvedic Detox & Panchakarma Retreats

Ayurveda Panchakarma retreats are one of the most traditional types of Ayruvedic programmes with detoxification and balancing the doshas at its core. Panchakarma, meaning, “five therapies”, refers to the five therapeutic treatments involved: Vamana, Virechana, Nasya, Basti and Raktamokshana. These can be quite intense and involve practices such as therapeutic emesis (controlled purging/vomiting), nasal flushing and blood detoxification but the benefits of this in-depth cleanse ensure you walk away feeling strong, enlivened and refreshed.

Ayurveda & Wellness Retreats

For a more relaxing Ayurvedic experience, you may wish to attend an Ayurveda and Wellness retreat that offers some of the less intense healing treatments alongside wellbeing practices such as meditation and yoga. Thess wellness retreats create calm in mind, body and spirit and are a wonderful place to connect with other like-minded people on a similar health and wellbeing journey.
