Ayurveda: Principles for Daily Living

At A Glance.

Ayurveda is a system of knowledge originating in the Vedic tradition, concerned with how we live in relationship to the body, the environment, and the rhythms of nature. Taking place as we move into autumn, a period of transition - this retreat offers an introduction to how Ayurveda understands balance, routine, and daily living. Across four days, we will explore foundational principles and how they can be carried into everyday life. The focus is not clinical or diagnostic, but introductory - offering a clear understanding of these ideas and how they can be applied in daily living. Each day follows a steady rhythm, beginning with yoga and breathwork, and moving through workshops, time outdoors, and shared meals. Sessions include an introduction to Ayurvedic principles, Dinacharya (daily routine), the four pillars of Ayurvedic nutrition, and Ritucharya (seasonal living). The retreat also includes practical elements - from hands on meal preparation and guided kitchen sessions to an evening of self-care practices - offering a direct experience of how Ayurvedic principles can translate into a lived routine. OmLife is hosting this retreat in collaboration with Sarah from OhmVeda, at The ASHA Centre - a residential setting surrounded by nature. This is an introductory retreat for those interested in understanding Ayurveda in a clear and practical way. (Please note there are no single rooms available at this venue.
