Ayurveda and yoga are sister sciences, both of which originate from the “vedas”, i.e. sources of knowledge and science of ancient India. Ayurveda is the science of life and longevity, which aims to promote a happy, healthy and peaceful life. Ayurveda is responsible for physical and mental well-being, while yoga is intended to cultivate mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. The practise of yoga (like Hatha yoga, Bakti yoga, Karma yoga, Raja yoga, Jnana yoga) has a very positive effect on our body and has the potential to keep us strong, healthy and flexible while cultivating introspection and equilibrium in mind and emotion in order to achieve deep states of meditation. According to ancient Indian writings, Ayurveda is considered the foundation of yoga, while yoga is said to be the fruit of Ayurveda. We can say that Ayurveda and yoga enter into a symbiosis, in which yoga supports the Ayurvedic path and vice versa. Both practices complement each other on the path to becoming a complete, self-realized, happy and healthy individual. Amrtasiddhi Ayurvedic centre not only offers a large variety of highly effective Ayurvedic treatments but also Ayurvedic detox, rejuvenation and weight management programs in which yoga plays a very important part. Your yoga program corresponds to your respective treatment protocol and is tailored to your needs. Adding private tuition to the daily group yoga classes can turn your Ayurvedic Program into a fully personalized Yoga retreat. In this way, you are not only deepening your understanding of yoga but also fast-tracking your improvement process toward better health and well being.
The two systems, Yoga and Ayurveda go hand in hand. Both serve the balance of body and mind by bringing the doshas into harmony. In our yoga retreat, we turn to Ayurveda, especially in Ayurvedic detox and rejuvenation protocols, in order to achieve results on many levels. Practicing yoga during an Ayurvedic detox treatment can benefit you in multiple ways. Yoga is known to support and even enhance the effects of treatments and herbs. Furthermore, it also increases your digestive power which results in you being able to better absorb food and herbal medication prescribed to you to rebalance your physiology. Yoga also improves your body awareness and can help stabilise your mind and emotions. Yoga furthermore plays an important role during our rejuvenation treatment protocol. Here it can help you develop your strength, focus and equilibrium. Yoga also acts as an enabler for you to rediscover your joy and interest for body movements. During our yoga program you will gain a lot of new experiences and knowledge which you can integrate into your daily life. The form of yoga we teach at our yoga retreat is called Hatha Yoga. This form of yoga mainly focuses on alignment, breathing and concentration. Our yoga classes are recommended for beginners as well as experienced yoga practitioners.
