Digestive Wellness and Gut Yoga Therapy

Kairali The Ayurvedic Healing Village - Kerala · Palakkad, Kerala

About this retreat

This 15-day, 14-night programme at Kairali in Palakkad, Kerala, brings Ayurveda and yoga together around digestion and Agni, the digestive fire in Ayurvedic thought. Wellness professionals lead asanas, pranayama and kriyas, and guests are offered herbal infusions, sattvic dishes and lifestyle tips. Days follow a fixed rhythm of yoga, pranayama, a workshop, Ayurvedic therapy, meditation and leisure, with a different theme each weekday, such as an organic farm visit or a cooking demonstration. The setting is quiet and natural. Guests stay in villas and eat three organic sattvic meals a day. Anyone with a digestive or other health condition should speak with their doctor and with the centre first.
