Everything about the Ayurvedic retreat
Our retreat includes everything you need to relax, unwind & regain your health

A customised approach to Ayurveda
Just as everyone has a unique fingerprint, each person has a particular pattern of energy – an individual combination of physical, mental, and emotional characteristics – which comprise the individual.
It is a primary principle in Ayurveda to first understand the entire picture of each individual first before a holistic and comprehensive treatment plan can be prescribed.
Many factors, both internal and external, act upon us and this may affect the balance of our wellbeing. Diet, physical trauma, stress, relationships, and our work play a big role in our health. Once these specific factors are understood, one can take appropriate actions to nullify the negative effects or eliminate the causes of imbalance and re-establish one’s health.
The Ayurveda treatment process
Ayurvedic principles state that imbalances in the three primary energies (Tri-Dosha), create the conditions where disease can arise. Poor diet, weak digestion, improper metabolism, incomplete elimination of waste matter, inadequate sleep, pollution, stress and accumulation of bio-toxins (Ama), etc. are among some of the causes for ill health.
During the initial Shodana (purification) process, these toxins are collected from various parts of body and expelled through the nearest outlet to the affected organ or body part. Then, the Shamana (pacifying treatments) or the rejuvenating treatment are given and will have better and long lasting effect on body. This is a systematic approach that is taken in a particular sequence.
In addition to the host of daily treatments provided by our therapists, you will also take part in a daily therapeutic yoga session which includes various appropriate postures, breathing exercises, and meditation.

Cuisine
Sri Lanka is famed for its amazing food, and we want you to experience it – our chefs will prepare daily meals for you to suit your tastes and dietary requirements. During your all-inclusive yoga retreat, we will serve you delicious and nutritious meals that highlight local flavors and cooking techniques. For the most part, the food will be vegetarian as to support your yoga practice. However, as we are on an island, seafood will make the occasional appearance on the menu for those who wish to have it.
Yoga & Meditation
Your personalized Ayurvedic treatment program will be complemented with a daily yoga class that is tailored to complement your treatments.
Our skilled yoga teachers will guide you through a therapeutic style of yoga called Yin Yoga. Yin Yoga is a slow moving and meditative way of practicing yoga. It is based on a deep understanding of human physiology and targets the deeper structures of the body such as the fascial network and connective tissues where blockages in mobility can cause long term structural and systemic problems such as sciatica, back pain, digestive problems, and migraines.
In addition, you will have ample opportunities to learn breathing techniques and develop a meditation practice.
