Come ready to move and breathe for your bones, learning the key principles for building good quality bones safely and effectively with body-mind-breath practices that balance your system.
You'll enjoy Ayurveda-inspired, vegetarian snacks and refreshments, get to take home the recipes, and learn the secret to incorporating bone-building foods into your own meal plans.
We'll explore the foundations of Ayurveda and yoga, which are rooted in the elements of nature, giving you simple yet profound ways to nourish your bones on a daily basis.
This retreat is for you if:
You've been diagnosed with osteoporosis or low bone density or you have a family history of these conditions, and you know there's more to treating it than just taking calcium. You want clarity about what will really work and why.
You want to protect your bones as you age and take your health into your own hands by focusing on diet and lifestyle (which will also enhance the outcome if any medical treatment is warranted in your case.)
You gravitate toward the holistic, body-mind-spirit approach to health, and want specific tools, tips, and techniques that you can easily implement to support your bones.
You're curious how your yoga practice can stimulate bone remodeling and reduce fracture risk, and you want to make sure you're practicing safely and maximizing the benefits.
You’re ready for some inspiration in the kitchen to help nourish yourself and your bones, and you feel drawn to the promise of applying simple, yet profound, Ayurvedic concepts to your foods and self-care practices.
You want to take the day to focus on YOU!
These two ladies make a fabulous team! They are well educated on the topics and have a wonderful approachable style. For me, this was an invaluable investment for future health and well being. - D.B.
