The food is pure vegetarian in alignment with a yogic diet. According to Vedic knowledge, the quality and content of a person’s diet are very significant factors affecting their state of mind; indeed, one’s consciousness is directly influenced by what he or she chooses to eat. Therefore, the menu is geared towards nutritious and wholesome foods which are beneficial for spiritual activities.
On offer will also be a qualified massage therapist, specialised in sports, remedial and swedish massage. He will be taking bookings throughout the course of the weekend as an optional extra.
Yogic wisdom – inspirations from the ancient Indian teacher Patanjali.
