About the Course
Yoga, Ayurveda and Meditation
We often get consumed by our daily lives, that we forget ourselves. We loose sight of our purpose, of who we are and what we want to do. When we relax and go on vacation, we suddenly realize there is more in life. To actually return to yourself and make a change for the better you need more then a few days. According to Yoga philosophy it requires 3 weeks to create new habits.
In this 21-day retreat you stay at the beautiful and peaceful Centre Lothlorien. Here we teach Yoga as a Way of Life. The program is set up in such a way, that it is relaxing, with enough time for yourself, yet you stay in a healthy natural rythm. The retreat is divided in 3 weeks with each week a different subject with as a goal to help you relax, return to nature, find yourself and give you the tools to come out stronger so that you can live a happier and healthier life.
In the first week, you will be introduced to the herbs on the grounds and surroundings of Centre Lothlorien. Learn how to work with these herbs by drying them, composing tea, making massage oil with them, making rose water and how to use them in cooking. Experience how you can also use Indian and Ayurvedic herbs and spices for flavour and to promote your health.
In the second week, you will use Indian meditation techniques to achieve relaxation and find your deepest self again. Although we all engage with awareness and personal development in some way, we often don’t dwell on this long enough to really change anything in our lives. The surroundings of Centre Lothlorien are a true walking paradise. With lots of woods, vast fields, lakes, streams and valleys and above all, no people to be seen.
The third week focuses on strengthening interpersonal relationships in your home or family. According to Yoga, you cannot change another person, at least not directly. You can however, change how you perceive things, what effect situations have on you and how you react to others. By finding peace and calm within, you can have a positive effect on the behavior of others and ultimately improve your relationships.
