 overview
Ayurveda and Yoga retreats are an opportunity for you to step out of your daily lives and
recharge your batteries to step back into your routine feeling rejuvenated and energised.
Retreats help you pause and realign your objectives so you can lead a more fulfilled life.

In this seven day retreat you would have the opportunity to learn about Ayurveda from
Dr Sudesh and Ashtanga Yoga from Saucha Devi, who are both experienced teachers in
their fields.

You would learn how to apply ancient Indian Ayurvedic principles and Yoga theory in
your day-to-day routine to enhance your quality of life and general well-being.

And the cherry on top of the cake - we will be bringing to your plates a taste of Sattvic
Bhog - food of the yogis. All the delicious meals will be cooked by a local chef on site.

What is Ayurveda?
AYURVEDA is an ancient science originating in India. It aligns with nature and helps to heal
the disease from its root cause with
herbal preparations that do not harm
our system.
AYU means Life and VEDA means
science or Knowledge-Ayurveda means
LIFE SCIENCE. Ayurveda is not only
about medical science but also about
our whole life.
This course will teach you the healthy
practices explained in Ayurveda to
prevent diseases and maintain good
health in a natural way.
 What is Ashtanga Yoga?
Ashtanga yoga is a traditional dynamic yoga,
which is based on specific breathing tech-
niques synchronized with a series of pos-
tures.
The term Ashtanga means eight limbs in
Sanskrit. These eight limbs are the 8 found-
ing principles of Ashtanga yoga found in
Patanjali's yoga sutras: Yama, Niyama,
Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana,
Dhyana and Samadhi.
This philosophical system was developed by
Krishnamacharya, Sage and yogi, after
traveling in the Himalayas around 1916. For
seven years he learned Ashtanga Yoga from
Master Sri Ramamohan Brahmachari. In the
1930s he transmitted this knowledge to
many Indian and Western students. Some of
the best known include Sri K. Pattabhi Jois,
BNS Iyengar, Indra Devi and his son TKV
Desikachar. This practice was then popular-
ized in the West 30 years later.
