Take a transformational journey to Kerala, India as you embrace the ancient healing science of Ayurveda.
Touted 'God's own Country' Kerala is India's luscious jewel abundant with herb and tea plantations, scenic beaches and breathtaking backwaters.
Our retreat takes place at the award winning Kairali Ayurvedic Healing Village well away from the hustle and bustle of India's City's. People come here from all corners of the globe to experience profound healing and it's also where the Indian people themselves come to restore balance, health and inner harmony.
Your retreat begins with a detailed consultation with an Ayurvedic doctor who will carefully design Ayurveda experiences to treat, heal, restore and rejuvenate your health. Ayurveda is an elaborate healing system of India, a science of life based on the laws of nature. Its derived from the Sanskrit words Ayur(life) and Veda(knowledge), it traces its origins to about 50 centuries.
Each day on retreat begins with a yoga session and includes 2 x Daily Ayurveda Treatments (prescribed especially for you by the Doctor), meditation, nourishing food and relaxation. Dotted throughout your retreat you will experience an Ayurvedic cooking class, mindfulness workshops and Yoga Nidra which will arm you with invaluable life skills to return home with.
Upon our arrival in India, before we embark on our Ayurvedic Healing Journey we spend 2 nights in a 5 Star Resort in Fort Kochi, a laid back fishing village just 45mins from the international airport. Enjoy a full day to exploring this eclectic neighbourhood on a Rickshaw tour featuring all of major sites including the lively spice and antique market and local art scene. After meandering the well preserved colonial streets we finish our day taking in an unforgettable sunset as the fisherman return with the days catch. For dinner we'll be feasting on Kerala's signature curries with new and old friends.

Bec has a passion for understanding and enhancing the human mind and body. Her background in Exercise Science, Pilates and Myotherapy has now lead her onto a path of breath work methods. Bec is a qualified Wim Hof instructor and oxygen advantage coach. Overall Bec just loves education! She believes knowledge is power, and then applying the knowledge is strength. The combination of both allows you to go beyond what you ‘think’ you're capable of. Balance is the key to life. If we stay in a comfort zone we will head into dis-ease (out of balance) but if we move too much into discomfort (stress all the time!) then we will burn ourselves out. Bec loves to educate people on how to stay in balance. The combination of rest and stress will help you get the best experience out of life!
Overall Bec loves helping people achieve their goals and finding their drive, passion and path in life. Not letting self limited beliefs hold them back from what they are truely capable of.
