AYURVEDA

The science and ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, believes that transforming your daily food into medicines and eating for your ‘doshas’, not only brings the healthiest balanced state but also results in weight loss, simply because the healthiest balanced state cannot possibly imply overweight or underweight for that matter.

Our bodies are made up of 3 different dosha types: Vata, pitta and kapha, corresponding to your physical and personality traits. Each of these doshas is a combination of two of the five basic elements (earth, water, fire, air and space)

The 5 basic elements are also distributed in the six tastes known in food such as sweet, sour, salty, pungent, astringent, and bitter.

So, identifying our dominant dosha type brings in a health intelligence of how to harmonize the elements within ourselves, by picking particular food tastes that would counterbalance our dosha type.

During this intimate, fun & relaxed week, on the tropical island of Mauritius, you’ll learn everything there is to know about health and the Ayurveda kitchen.
