About the Course
Ayurveda Retreat with Yoga, walking meditation and detox in France
This yoga and Ayurveda retreat you live for two weeks in a natural rhythm, in a relaxed environment. The first week you go out for meditative walks in nature and learn techniques to completely unwind. The second week you will learn about the principles in Ayurveda and how you can safely conduct your own detox at home.
By Pinky More and Richard Slager.
Your body is capable of healing anything, but to be healthy you have to do something for it. Rest and relaxation, a proper daily rhythm, exercise and healthy eating are paramount to that.
In the first week you will use Indian meditation techniques to achieve relaxation and find your deepest self again. Although we are all in some way engaged in consciousness and personal development, we often don’t dwell on it long enough to really change anything in our lives. The surroundings of Centre Lothlorien are a true walking paradise. With many forests, vast fields, lakes, streams and valleys and above all no people to be seen, it is easy to really come back to yourself.
In the second week, you will learn about Ayurveda and detox in a relaxing way and get started with detoxing your body yourself. You will learn about different aspects and methods so that you can safely start detoxing at home or follow a simple detox programme. There are various trends in Ayurveda today, such as undergoing massage, following a vata, pitta or kapha diet, or even Ayurvedic cooking. Although they all undoubtedly have a beneficial effect, these are just the “icing on the cake”. If you really want to be healthy, you need to take a close look at all your physical and mental habits. Even a detox will only have a temporary effect if you do nothing about the cause of your health problems. In this retreat, you will learn about the basics of Ayurveda, which are not covered in most places. Build solid foundations for a healthy and happy life!
