Get to know Ayurveda
3-day retreat
With this three-day retreat, you will experience how the millennia-old wisdom of Ayurveda can unfold its effects in a remarkably short time. You will discover your individual constitution type and gain an introduction to Ayurvedic nutrition—its core principles and how they can be seamlessly integrated into everyday life. The programme combines light, Mediterranean-inspired Ayurvedic cuisine with authentic treatments, gentle movement, and moments of deep relaxation. Together, these elements help restore the body’s natural balance, support the elimination of accumulated toxins, and activate the body’s innate self-healing powers. An ideal introduction for beginners with no prior knowledge, and equally suited for those with experience who wish to reconnect and begin anew.
