Lier les bienfaits d’une cure Ayurvédique et du yoga
An escape to warmth—and, with the excuse of a detox, also a journey within ourselves. Winter, for those able, is the best time to treat yourself to ten days in southern India, in Kerala. Just after monsoon season, when the climate is perfect for a complete renewal, your body is nourished by the beauty of nature, with lush beaches and vegetation. You’re intoxicated by the scent of spices that color the food, and soothed under the experienced hands of the therapists.
Every day follows a routine inspired by the rhythm of Ayurveda ("Ayur" meaning life, "Veda" meaning knowledge), which forms the foundation of any stay at one of the Somatheeram centers—the gateway to a 5,000-year-old tradition set on beautiful beaches. Everything starts with a meeting with a doctor, who uses Ayurvedic principles to analyze your constitution (prakrithi) and current health (vikrithi), identifying any imbalance of the Doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—formed by the elements of earth, water, fire, air, and heat). The doctor prescribes herbal treatments (with remedies produced onsite), a tailored diet, and yoga, with the aim of bringing mind, body, and spirit back into balance.
