Summary

Immerse yourself in the soothing world of Ayurveda 🌺 and treat yourself to some time off for your body, mind, and soul. In the relaxed atmosphere of a yoga ashram, you’ll find space to let go, regenerate, and recharge. Ayurveda, the millennia-old Indian system of health, helps you rediscover your natural balance and unleash new vitality.

Through Ayurvedic nutrition 🥗, soothing treatments 💆‍♀️, traditional herbs 🌿, and valuable insights into a healthy lifestyle, you’ll discover how the three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—influence your well-being and how they can be harmonized. Meditation, mindfulness, and nourishing rituals help you reduce stress, find inner peace, and strengthen your self-healing powers.

A gentle daily rhythm featuring optional yoga classes 🧘‍♀️, daily meditation, inspiring talks, small workshops, and time in nature 🌞 supports you in integrating these experiences into your everyday life in a lasting way. Yoga practice promotes flexibility, vitality, and body awareness, while relaxation and regeneration provide new strength for both body and mind.

The 2026 retreats offer different focuses: The Ayurveda introductions take place from July 24–26, September 4–6, and September 25–27, and are ideal for anyone who wants to learn the basics of Ayurveda and take home practical tips for better health and well-being.

The Ayurveda fasting retreats from June 21–26 and October 11–16 focus on gentle cleansing, relief, and regeneration. The Ayurveda Wellness Weekend from June 26–28 and October 2–10 invites you to let go, relax, and recharge.

We’d be happy to send you more information about the individual retreats, the program content, and the daily schedule upon request.

I spent a very fulfilling weekend at the retreat. Everyone at the retreat was extremely friendly. As an inexperienced person, I was introduced to meditation very well. The yoga classes and seminars were very good. The food was also perfect.
