THE TRANQUILLITY OF THE WOODS seeped into our souls, just as easily as the Ayurvedic oil into our skin. We were performing yoga asanas in the middle of a jungle that rang with early-morning bird calls. The cool filtered air fanned us—a group of Ayurveda and yoga buffs—and we contorted our bodies. The participants were from a diverse age group. But after just four days, everyone seemed to exude a glow, and certain flexibility that perhaps only the winning combination of Ayurveda, yoga, meditation, and a good diet in an unpolluted environment can impart.
Kairali - The Ayurvedic Healing Village is located in Kerala’s Palakkad district, and a typical programme usually extends over 14, 21, or 28 days.
