This 8-day retreat will be an enriching experience that will help you connect with your inner self and improve your overall health. It is designed to help you relax, de-stress and improve your digestion through yoga, meditation, and healthy eating.
You will learn a variety of yoga routines and techniques that will help you strengthen your digestive system, align your chakras, and nourish your internal organs and chakra system with color while exploring the phytonutrients present in your diet. We will also explore the principles of Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine that emphasizes balancing the body’s doshas, or energies.
For a week you will immerse yourself in a transformative journey to heal your digestive system and align your chakras through yoga, nutrition, and self-exploration, and go home with the tools to continue living a healthy, happy life.
In addition to yoga and healthy eating, you will also have the opportunity to explore the beautiful tropics by island hopping and jungle trekking. There will be plenty of free time to relax and rejuvenate, whether you choose to spend it reading a book in a hammock, getting a massage, or simply doing nothing.
Our delicious plant-based meals will nourish your body and mind, and we’ll encourage you to take time each day to relax and connect with your inner self. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced yogi, this retreat is a perfect opportunity to experience the healing power of yoga and nutrition.
Monthly or bi-monthly Post Retreat support group is offered upon finishing the retreat, so we may continue our journey of self-healing and self-realization together.

What are the 5 elements? Why are they important?
Ayurveda and nutrition are a healing system to maintain a body-mind balance, or optimal health according to the personal prakruti (our own unique constitution) and how to maintain this balance, feeding on our doshas, the environment in which we live as well as our age.
What are the doshas? What is your personal dosha?
What is Prakruti or our personal constitution?
What are the Dhatus? Sroots? How to eliminate them and, or balanches according to our dosha.
Which meals create better health and how to prepare them according to the personal dosha/constituion. How do the Gunas (3 humours) affect our body-mind connection?
Are we feeding on hunger or our emotions?
How do we eat sugars? What foods convert to sugar as digested? Can we consume too much natural sugar (fruit)?
Eating with colors, eating for organ health.
In Ayurveda, good health may be maintained through adequate diet as well as lifestye changes. We will become familiar with foods are good for some of us and not healthy for others.
When we are hungry, according to Ayurveda, we are looking to feed on the Sun. We will learn what it means to feed our-selves from the Sun.
We will learn to feed our-selves consciously and deliciously as well as live fully and feel the differences or similiarities from changing our diet and our yoga practice from the very first day.
