Yoga ૐ Ayurveda in India
August 20th - Sept 3rd, 2010
Azhiyur, Kerala, India
Come join me for a 15 day Pancha Karma healing retreat in beautiful Kerala India. Whether you are suffering from chronic pain, headaches, muscle aches, dis-ease or just need a time out; all can benefit from this experience. Each day will consist of morning meditation, a Yin/Yang Yoga practice, daily Ayurvedic Treatments and afternoon Ayurvedic Yoga classes.
When was the last time you took some time for yourself to LISTEN to the rhythm of your body?
Now is that time.

The Yoga Part: Each morning begins with at 6:30am with meditation led by Jamie, focusing on grounding the body while opening the heart and mind. From there we will move gently into a Yin Yoga Practice to soften the body’s joints and ligaments and stimulate the body’s meridians, supporting the organ functions in the body. Gently flowing from there into a slow Hatha Yoga practice with focus on creating space within the body while opening the heart and lungs. And then... BREAKFAST! During the afternoon there is plenty of time to lounge in the hammock, hang out at the beach huts or take a dip in the ocean. There are 3 separate Ayurvedic Yoga classes throughout the afternoon, each focusing on balancing one of the Doshas, either Vata, Pitta or Kapha. Each participant will be focusing on one particular Dosha, but are welcome in any or all of the classes.
This is a great opportunity to learn to balance your body, mind and spirit, moment to moment, using asana.

All classes and activities are optional, as Pancha Karma, or any healing, can ask the body to simply nap in the hammock by the ocean:-)

The Ayurvedic Part: Both an Eastern and Western view of Ayurveda will be addressed during this retreat. Each participant will receive an traditional Ayurvedic Consultation performed by the Ayurvedic Doctors at GREENS AYUR CENTER. The information gained during this consultation will be used to create a daily AyurvedicTreatment/Massage program as well as provide guidance for the yoga portion of the retreat. All treatments are performed by the warm and highly educated staff at Greens. The Western Ayurvedic Consultation will be performed by Jamie Leigh Chan and can be done while in India or back in San Francisco. This consultation will focus on continuing balancing the body after you return to “normal” life using simple self care, diet and yoga asana. And of course, there will be plenty of time for exploring the local landscape, shopping and experiencing local culture. There will also be a weekend trip to nearby waterfalls, if the post-Monsoon roads will allow. If not, maybe a trip through the backwaters on a house boat.
