YO G A & AY U R V E D I C C O O K I N G

Yoga & Meditation

We will start each day with a mindfulness practice

aimed at connecting us with Nature, followed

by a dynamic yoga class. The morning practice

will focus on the joy of moving and bring a

sense of lightness, groundedness and enhanced

concentration to the start of your day. Through

breathing exercises and the activation of the core

muscles we will experience physically what we later

explore in our workshops. The afternoon offers a

gentler, restorative practice focused on balancing

our nervous system and mind. The classes can

be adapted to any level from beginners to more

seasoned practitioners.

Ayurvedic Seasonal Cooking

Mention of Ayurvedic Cooking conjures up

beautiful images replete with colours, aromas,

textures and spices. Behind this abundance

lies a strong scientific foundation and ancient

wisdom that provides the practical tools for us to

live with lightness, health and strength. Together

we will prepare certain meals, taking the time to

understand the process of vitality, fluidity and

youth and how to cook according to our inherent

nature. As we move from Winter to Spring,

particular attention will be paid to managing

seasonal changes.

We will practice yoga and meditation daily to help to expand our consciousness and to open us up to the subtleties of the Ayurvedic way of cooking. The wisdom of Ayurveda will be practically experienced through Ayurvedic cooking workshops and presentations. You will receive a source of inspiration for your daily meals coupled with a clear understanding of our deep functioning.

AY U R V E D I C C O O K I N G W O R K S H O P S

The workshop themes include:

• Preparing Ayurvedic recipes for an invigorating diet.

• Learning how to both calm and energise our own body and mind.
