A Journey of Self-Discovery, Balance, and Inner Harmony
Join us for Ayurvedic Awakening, an immersive half-day retreat designed to reconnect you with the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda and yoga. This transformative experience invites you to discover your unique constitution, understand your body’s natural rhythms, and learn practical tools to create greater balance in your daily life.
We begin the retreat with an introduction to the foundations of Ayurveda — the ancient science of life that teaches us how to align our lifestyle, movement, breath, and nourishment with our individual nature. Through the wisdom of the five elements and the three doshas — Vata, Pitta, and Kapha — you will learn how Ayurveda views balance, energy, digestion, and wellbeing.
The journey continues with a guided Dosha Assessment, where you will discover your unique constitutional type. Through an interactive assessment, you will identify whether your dominant energy is Vata, Pitta, or Kapha, receive your personalised results to keep, and learn how this knowledge can guide your approach to movement, lifestyle, and nutrition.
Following this, experience a specially curated Dosha-Based Yoga Practice, where movement is tailored according to the qualities of each constitution. Learn how different practices can help ground Vata energy, cool and balance Pitta energy, or energise and awaken Kapha energy — creating harmony between body, mind, and breath.
After a nourishing lunch break, we continue with Pranayama Practices for Each Dosha, exploring how breath can influence energy, emotions, and the nervous system. You will learn traditional breathing techniques designed to calm, balance, or energise according to your individual needs.
The retreat concludes with an Ayurvedic Guide to Eating for Your Dosha, exploring the connection between food, digestion, and wellbeing. Discover how different foods influence your energy, mood, and overall balance, and learn how to choose nourishing ingredients that support your unique constitution. Participants will receive five sample Ayurvedic recipes for each dosha type to continue their wellness journey at home.
