Sunday 8th March, 9.30 - 1.30pm £50

Put a spring in your step as we emerge from winter and learn how Ayurveda supports the body through the change of seasons with a gentle detoxifying diet. Ayurvedic Acharya Rini Shamal will explain the basics of Ayurveda and offer a practical guide to preparing helpful food and spices for cleansing and detoxing. On either side of her talk there will be a yoga practice taught by Sarah Delfas to sweep away winter cobwebs, boost the digestive system and restore energy.

There will be two short breaks for tea between the yoga classes and Rini’s session. If you need to eat breakfast before the workshop please have an extremely light one at least 2 hours before the class.
