Yoga Classes
Our Hatha yoga sessions blend physical postures, breathwork, and meditation to enhance flexibility, reduce stress, and improve mental clarity. Classes cater to mixed abilities with adaptable sequences, focusing on mindful movement and relaxation techniques. Regular practice supports physical health, emotional balance, and long-term well-being for all experience levels.
Ayurveda Consultations
Personalized Ayurvedic consultations assess your unique constitution to address imbalances through diet, lifestyle changes, and herbal remedies. This ancient system identifies root causes of stress, insomnia, and chronic conditions, offering tailored solutions to restore harmony between body, mind, and environment for sustainable health.
Pregnancy Yoga
Specially designed yoga practices prepare expectant mothers for childbirth through gentle stretches, breathing techniques, and relaxation methods. Sessions improve sleep quality, reduce anxiety, and strengthen pelvic muscles while fostering a supportive community for sharing experiences and building confidence for labour.
Kati Vasti Therapy
Targeted Ayurvedic therapy for lower back pain involves applying warm herbal oil within a dough dam to reduce inflammation and muscle tension. This 45-minute treatment alleviates sciatica, chronic discomfort, and nerve issues through sustained heat and medicated oils to rejuvenate affected areas.
Shirodhara Treatment
A calming Ayurvedic procedure pours medicated liquid over the forehead to soothe the nervous system. This 60-minute session addresses insomnia, anxiety, and adrenal fatigue by combining rhythmic oil flow with scalp massage to induce deep relaxation and mental clarity.
