Join me for a week of yoga, mountain walks in the famous Logar Valley and learn about the oldest health system in the world, Ayurveda.

Yoga and Ayurveda stem from the same philosophical roots and evolved at the same time in history. They are sisters and work together beautifully to maintain health and well-being in our lives. They also share the same goal: to create union between ourselves and the universe.

How does it work?

Ayurveda recognises that the human being is a microcosm (small part) of the macrocosm (the universe). Our bodies are made up of the same elements that make up everything else around us. And we are moved by the same energies or forces that move the oceans, winds, stars and planets.

If we live our lives separate from the rhythms of the macrocosm (eating cold foods in winter time, staying up late) our bodies will get messed up.

This retreat provides a chance to re-set your body, mind and spirit for the summer season, a time of Pitta. You will learn your unique body type and discover tools to bring your body and mind into equilibrium. With the opportunity to practise yoga, spend time in nature and receive guidance from an ayurvedic doctor, this is the perfect opportunity to nurture yourself and make friends.

There are two extension opportunities to spend more time in Slovenia; Lake Bled trip and walking in the Karst region to finishing in Trieste.
