Whether you are a complete novice or a growing yoga enthusiast, the more you live the yoga lifestyle on a yoga retreat, the more you will discover that it is not only a physical practise but a holistic practise that seeks to balance the mind, body and soul. This is achieved through the inner peace experienced once the person feels in control of their own self. Similarly, Ayurveda (a traditional Hindu structure of medicine) is based on the notion that balance between bodily systems is essential to optimal health. Thought to aid the prolonging of life, the benefits of Ayurveda can be achieved on an Ayurveda spa holiday through Ayurvedic nutrition, holistic spa treatments and wellness activities, such as yogic breathing. Working in harmony together, yoga and Ayurveda both seek to achieve balance and enhance overall well-being.
