What if 5 Days Rest Could Reset Your body for the entire Year?

If winter has left you feeling heavy, foggy, or run down, nature has a solution. Spring is the season of renewal, and Ayurveda has been guiding seasonal cleansing for over 3,000 years.

Spring on Salt Spring Island arrives like a quiet invitation. The earth softens, buds unfurl, and the body begins to crave renewal and movement after the stillness of winter.

This season of transition is the inspiration behind our second annual Ayurvedic Spring Cleanse Retreat, guided by long-time Salt Spring Centre of Yoga teacher and Ayurvedic practitioner, Savita Leah Young.

Savita brings together over four decades of yoga practice, deep study in Ayurveda, and a lifetime of devotion to Vedic teachings. Her approach is grounded in tradition while remaining deeply relevant to the rhythms of modern life.

Join Savita for five days of guided cleansing and Renewal

Ayurveda is Yoga’s Sister Science

Most people today are familiar with yoga’s stretches, breathing, and meditation practices. But yoga is only part of a much larger tradition.

Ayurveda, the science of life, originated in India and has been practiced for over 3,000 years and extends the wisdom of yoga into everyday living.

It asks simple but profound questions:

How do we live?
What do we eat?
When do we rest?
How do we move through the world?

Savita explains that Ayurveda is not only about techniques or remedies.

Ayurveda is about what we do, how we do it, and when we do it. Ultimately, it’s about the attitude just as much as the method.

In this way, Ayurveda becomes less of a health system and more of a way of living in harmony with nature.
