Ayurveda Retreat opened in August 2006 with the aim of making the profound benefits of Ayurveda easily accessible for everyone. Our town centre location is very convenient and easy to get to, and appointments can be tailored around your schedule.

From the moment you set foot in Ayurveda Retreat, you will feel like you have entered a sanctuary of peace and relaxation, far removed from the hustle and bustle of city life. You will feel utterly relaxed and rejuvenated in the hour or so that you spend with us, ready to take on the world again.

The founders of Ayurveda Retreat are passionate about the incredible healing power of Ayurveda and it ability to help all of us to maintain good health. Health is a simple concept that resists simple definition. You have probably felt it, and know it when you see it: a person whose step and smile radiate that certain something that feels wholesome and well-nourished. Detecting ill health is easy - medical textbooks are filled with its symptoms and signs.

True health is a state of persistent well-being, not a condition of temporary tranquillity or respite from affliction. Well-being is that situation in which one feels inner peace, calm and stillness; states that resist our becoming agitated or unbalanced even when circumstances may trouble or torment us.

The literal meaning of svastha, the Sanskrit word for “healthy”, says it all: to be svastha is to be “established in yourself”. Only somebody who is well-established in him or herself will be able to radiate that joy and enthusiasm that we recognise when we see health. In all its prescriptions and proscriptions, preventatives and remedies, Ayurveda’s eye stays firmly fixed on establishing living beings within themselves.

Ayurveda’s fundamental aim is to generate equilibrium at all levels of a person’s being - body with mind, physique with environment, personality with society - as it pursues its goal of progressively more profound states of self-integration and self-establishment.

We, at Ayurveda Retreat, would like to share our knowledge and expertise about this ancient science so that we can all live truly healthy and balanced lives in harmony with nature.
