Ayurveda is the sister science of yoga that focuses on balancing the mind, body, and spirit through proper diet, exercise, and meditation. The concept of Ayurveda is based on two major principles. The first principle is that the body and mind are interconnected, and the second principle is that the mind is powerful enough to heal the body. Ayurveda treats deep rooted causes of illness and discomfort associated with imbalances. In our weekend together, we can explore your individual needs based on dosha or constitution and then make suggestions for changes to help facilitate the return to balance. This can include herbal remedies, dietary changes, seasonal living following circadian rhythms, and suggestions for exercise that are uniquely chosen for your dosha.

​

The immersion yoga classes will be creative and balanced for a safe, strong, yet supportive practice, leaving you feeling relaxed and restored. The morning classes will vary each day (Hatha Flow, Vinyasa, and Kundalini) and will be accessible for all levels, with Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra practiced in the evenings. Optional workshops will be offered during the retreat (Tarot card reading lesson, Aromatherapy and self-massage with essential oils, create your own Japa Mala meditation necklace, Binaural sound bath). All levels are welcome and encouraged. We provide options and modifications so everyone feels included and comfortable, and the yoga is available, challenging and transforming for all.
