Ayurveda and Yoga Retreat Daily Schedule

*  Abhyanga is a therapy from Ayurveda that includes application of an abundant amount of warm herb infused oil throughout the body. It not only nourishes the skin, it is a massage of your internal body systems and organs, it’s a journey we go on together to allow channels to open up and healing to begin or flourish.

** This event is optional though strongly encouraged as there will be a journaling exercise and group activation meditation. This hike is rated easy to accommodate the fitness level of all participants. The hike – and travel to and from the trail – are not insured as part of the retreat at the Salt Spring Centre of Yoga. 

*** It is recommended (and deeply appreciated) to attend the closing circle to share out loud with the group your closing thoughts from the weekend, the ritual of ending something together and feeling complete.

“Natasha, with the skill of an alchemist, melted together ancient yogic principles, modern psychology and Ayurvedic principles of health and living into a beautiful package!”

A Note From Natasha (Jyoti) About This Ayurveda and Yoga Retreat

Hi, I’m Natasha and I will be the main host of this retreat. This retreat is for someone who wants to shift their trajectory. And what does that mean? This doesn’t necessarily mean that you want to quit your job and start a business or leave your current relationship. I mean, it could, but this means shifting the trajectory in your mindset

This is for folks that do not necessarily have a lot of physical ailments, but their main problem lies in the mind. This is the thing that they have trouble shifting. 

Out there you hear people talking about “what you give out, you bring in”, “think positive thoughts”, “manifest your future”, “be in a high vibration”.  But, when this is new to you or you are stuck in emotions of anxiousness or attachment, sadness or frustration, asking you to switch your thoughts to the opposite is like asking your lungs to stop breathing! It is incredibly difficult, and so, yoga and Ayurveda have this amazing bag of tricks to shift your mindset in real time, that day! 

So what you are going to learn in this retreat is more about using the tools to shift your mindset on a daily basis to whatever it is that you need. You will get lots of practices to take home with you to keep the momentum going and also discover a community or like-minded people also seeking more from life!

You won’t be doing the exact same routine every day or eating the same food every day because you are different every day. By the time you leave the retreat, you will gain an understanding of the fundamentals of Ayurveda. But in addition to that, you are going to have a lot of fun, you are going to dig deep. It is going to be some work, emotions will come up and they are supposed to come up, we will move our bodies, as well as have time to reflect and talk.

I hope that you can join us. I hope you bring a friend to share this with.

If you feel like this is the thing you need to jumpstart or shift your life, I would be honored to do this with you. It will be a lot of fun and I am looking forward to meeting you or seeing you there.

Much Love,
Natasha
