A Return to Wholeness
Ayurveda ~ Yoga ~ Meditation Retreat
Helen Altman
Helen returns to Dharmagiri with a wonderful retreat focusing on Ayurveda – the knowledge of life – which is a 5000 year-old healing/health system from India that offers integrated, balanced living and preventative medicine. The wisdom of the teachings of the ancients that maintain health from deep within our systems, of which yoga and meditation is a part. There are simple ways that we can bring our doshas (elemental constitutions) back into balance through daily lifestyle practices. In this retreat we will explore the fundamental guiding principles of Ayurveda. The daily retreat rhythm includes an introduction to the fundamental principles of Ayurveda, guidelines for personal application, movement class combining Chi gung and simple gentle dynamic yoga (for all levels), walking meditation, guided visualisation, yoga nidra and breathing practices (pranayama). No previous experience needed.
