Details of this retreat

From knowing to living: ten days of Ayurveda with a Himalayan doctor.
An immersive Ayurveda training in Bali for people who are serious about understanding themselves. Come to learn Ayurveda. Leave with a new way of living.

This training is officially recognized as a YACEP® (Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider) course. Participants who complete at least 95% of the program receive a 60-hour Yoga Alliance YACEP® continuing education certificate.
Guided by a Himalayan Ayurveda Doctor
Receive expert care and insight from our resident doctor from Nepal, trained in classical Ayurvedic medicine and holistic healing.
Amidst the Forest Sanctuary
Surrounded by lush highland jungle at 1,400 m in Bedugul, your classroom is nature itself: quiet, grounding, alive.
Private Airport Transfer in Bali
Arrive with ease. Our team will welcome you at the airport and bring you directly to your forest retreat sanctuary.
You'll go home knowing how to:

read your constitution, and other people's, through the doshas and the pulse
cook and eat for your body, and build a daily rhythm around it
understand how Panchakarma cleansing works, from hands-on sessions with the doctor
carry a personal lifestyle plan back into your work and your life

Who this training is for
The Practitioner. For wellness professionals, facilitators and practitioners who want to add another perspective to the work they already do. You may already work in yoga, meditation, sound healing, nutrition, bodywork or another area of wellbeing, and want to understand how Ayurvedic principles can complement your existing practice within your professional scope.
The Pivoter. For those who are in a period of transition, whether in life, career or simply in the way you want to live. Ayurveda can offer a framework for understanding your natural tendencies, energy, habits and patterns, while the training gives you space to learn, reflect and explore how this knowledge might fit into your next chapter. You don't need to arrive with a fixed plan.
No prior experience is needed. The training is open to complete beginners as well as yoga teachers, therapists and wellness practitioners. Everything is taught step by step, from the basics through to hands-on practice. The April cohort is taught in English.
