This Rasayana retreat offers a comprehensive and rejuvenating experience, blending Ayurvedic wisdom with modern needs, all with support and expert guidance from a knowledgeable and experienced team.
Rasayana, is a Sanskrit word meaning “that which negates old age and disease,” and focuses on the conservation, transformation, and revitalisation of energy to enhance every cell of the body. Rasayana is a way of toning the body and mind thereby increasing our ‘Ojas’ – our joy for living! This retreat will energise and revive you and give you the tools for a beneficial ayurvedic lifestyle. You will have a dosha assessment, personalised ayurvedic treatments, meals and revitalising yoga practices.
