Women Only, Norwich
RASĀYANA ~ A PERSONAL AYURVEDIC IMMERSION
9 or 9.30 AM start, 4 hours
2 or 2.30 PM start, 4 hours
Norwich, Unthank Road

In Ayurveda, Rasāyana is associated with rejuvenation, nourishment, the cultivation of vitality and the preservation of health. It refers to the replenishment of the body's essence, supporting longevity and the flourishing of life.
I have created this little immersion to offer something for the mind to learn, the body to receive, and the senses to be nourished. A few hours to step away from the usual rhythm of the day and spend some time in the company of Ayurveda (and me!).
The flow of the immersion
A personal Ayurvedic consultation, 60 min
We will begin over a cup of herbal tea, taking time to explore your constitution, your current state and the ways in which Ayurveda might support you in everyday life.
Through conversation, we will gradually build a picture of your individual constitution, everyday habits and the qualities that may be influencing how you feel. It is an opportunity to become more familiar with Ayurvedic principles, gain some initial insight into your own constitution and consider how diet, daily routines and lifestyle might support your well-being.
Drawing on the wider wisdom of Yoga and Ayurveda, we can also explore simple practices and approaches to bring into everyday life ~ from working with the breath and nervous system to cultivating greater resilience, steadiness and awareness.
Full-body Abhyanga & individual Basti treatment, 2 hours
From there, you will receive a full-body Abhyanga, a traditional Ayurvedic oil massage using warm herbal oils, followed by an individual Basti treatment selected according to your needs.
These traditional therapies bring together the nourishing qualities of herbal oils, warmth and touch. A chance to rest, receive and experience Ayurvedic treatments without having to be anywhere else.
A freshly prepared Ayurvedic meal, 45-60 min
We will finish by sharing a freshly prepared Ayurvedic lunch or dinner. Food has its own important place within Ayurveda, and this is an opportunity to enjoy a nourishing meal together, continue our conversation, ask questions and reflect on the experience.
A little space for conversation, treatment, nourishing food and the wisdom of Ayurveda ~ all held within four hours, with the time and attention devoted entirely to you.
Investment:
Four hours - £240, including a personal consultation with a short handout, combined full-body Abhyanga with basti treatment and an Ayurvedic meal.
