Here we integrate the ancient science of yoga, meditation and Pranayama (Yogic breathing exercises) with Ayurveda to manage and alleviate stress and other mental disorders.

Through the twice daily Yoga classes, you’ll experience asanas (postures, movement), Pranayama (yogic breathing exercises) and Meditation. These have been shown to increase serotonin and endorphins, neurotransmitters that are beneficial to mental health, as well eliminate the stress hormone cortisol.

Practising yoga and Pranayama on a regular basis also acts as a preparation for a deeper experience during meditation, helping you attain a stress-free mind, promoting balance in mental and emotional functioning and encouraging positive thinking.

All these elements will be combined into one comprehensive program during your stay, tailored to your individual needs after an in-depth consultation with our in-resident Ayurvedic Doctor.
