Yoga / Ayurveda / Cooking

The Ayurveda Holiday is for everybody that would like to know more about ayurveda, learn it’s delicious cooking, improve their eating habits and everybody that knows yoga is great…!

Each day we will start with a meditation at sunrise. After a tasty ayurvedic power drink you will have 90 minutes of Yoga, followed by a delicious breakfast. While digesting breakfast you will have the opportunity to sit in the beautiful lounge listening to ayurvedic lectures (where you can learn about basic ayurvedic philosophy, one’s constitution and ayurvedic nutrition combined with a healthy western style of eating). In the afternoon you will have spare time to either relax or do some of the other attractive activities available around Monte Vehlo. In the late afternoon we will start with a three-hour cooking workshop. You will learn how to: use ayurvedic spices, prepare delicious vegetarian healthy food and how to put your whole heart into cooking. That way each day will finish with a fiesta meal :)

Especially in the yoga detox retreats, you'll hear and learn a lot about ayurveda, nutrition and a yoga practice according to the 3 body types. In the yoga surf retreats the body types will be mentioned in yoga as well and for further questions, Diana is happy to pass on her knowledge.
