Description

A yoga retreat based on the principles of Ayurveda and on experiencing the 5 elements: earth, water, fire, air and ether (space). Practices will be accompanied by discussions on Ayurvedic theory to better understand one’s body and health as part of Nature, as well as by Ayurvedic delicious meals.

Why go?

These four days will allow you to understand, through the body and specific yoga postures, how these 5 elements work in harmony for each one of us, to reach a better physical, emotional and mental balance. Our health begins to deteriorate when one of the 5 elements is not in balance. This retreat will allow you to master the various tools that yoga offers, in particular meditation, postures, breath work and mantra chanting, to improve your lifestyle and strengthen your body in its capacity to self-heal. The concepts of Ayurveda will help you to identify your own constitution (dosha) to fine-tune your practice and routine.

The Teacher

Shahrazad

is a certified Kundalini, Hatha and Vinyasa yoga teacher (EYA 500hrs and RYS 260hrs) in Geneva and has been practicing yoga for over ten years. She believes in the holistic nature of Ayurveda, which includes yoga. Particularly, it is through Kundalini yoga that she began to go deeper towards the Self; beyond the body and the mind. For Shahrazad, yoga is experienced, more than it can be taught. Her ambition is to share yogic tools around her, especially with the most vulnerable people (https://www.yogasha.ch).
