The 5,000-year-old'science of life,' Ayurveda teaches to harness the power of nature to achieve your maximum health and well-being. Ayurveda’s wisdom focuses on the balance of three elements, Vata, Pitta and Kapha.
Ayurvedic wellness retreats integrate a holistic approach to health and healing. Through a combination of massages, herbal therapies and diet, they aim to bring you into a deep healing doorway to mind, body and soul.
