About this trip
Staying in one of only six luxury stylish eco-lodges overlooking the lake, this special retreat builds on our signature ayurvedic programme by weaving together ancient ayurvedic knowledge with contemporary understanding of gut microbiome stress-related illness.
We incorporate the latest insights from the fields of psycho-neuro immunology and microbiology. By interpreting these modern data with ancient ayurvedic knowledge, we set the foundation for optimal communication between your gut microbiome and your nervous system. Our process gently shifts you from stressed out Flight Fight Freeze (sympathetic nervous system) mode to a calm Rest and Digest (para-sympathetic) state. This, together with a programme of Restorative yoga, breathwork, meditation, ayurvedic massages and meals packed full of pre- and probiotics all work synergistically to restore your gut microbiome and your nervous system for truly vibrant health.
This special retreat is aimed at anyone suffering from gluten-intolerance, stress, anxiety, depression, stiff aching joints, digestive issues, chronic tiredness, skin issues, sugar cravings or wanting to lose or gain weight.
Ayurveda
Daily ayurvedic treatments will help to rebalance your body, mind and spirit. Based on your health and dosha assessment, we will design a programme specifically tailored to meet your needs.
Meals and drinks will all be ayurvedic, vegetarian and gluten-free.
