'Ayurvedic Rituals for Health and Happiness' - Intensive, Amsterdam
The system of Ayurveda is vast and profound with so many areas which can enhance our health, happiness and productivity. In this intensive Kimmana Nichols and Suze Retera will focus on the essential daily habits for the body, known in Ayurveda as dinacharya or daily rituals.
They are specific practices which are the foundation for a happy and healthy life because they encourage us to self-heal and decrease the ageing process. When practiced regularly they increase your motivation for life, harmonise the mind and emotions, and improve physical strength and radiant beauty.
Kimmana will teach you the principles and theory behind the Ayurvedic practices and Suze will offer you yoga practices in which the balancing principles of Ayurveda are applied. The intensive will offer you both the theory and the embodied experience needed to easily apply the knowledge you gained in you daily life.
AYURVEDA
Ayurveda is the world’s oldest recorded system of healing. Used for more than 5,000 years by thousands of doctors on millions of patients, it is a proven system of prevention and healing.
Ayurveda is based on the elements that are present in everything. It offers a unique system of treatment based on life-style adjustments and natural treatments, including yoga. Its profound classification of mind-body types provides a clear assessment of individual constitution and how to treat it holistically. This makes Ayurveda an ideal practice for disease prevention, promotion of longevity, and increasing our overall sense of wellbeing and happiness.

LOCATION
All over the world people are waking up. At The Conscious Club they are responding to this rise in global consciousness that is calling out for a more spiritual and sustainable lifestyle. They have created a sacred space, a transformational learning and lifestyle center to awaken mind, body and spirit, right in the city centre of Amsterdam.
The Conscious Club is the showcase of the new sustainable future. They are the first public climate neutral canal house in Amsterdam. They rebuilt this former chocolate factory with a super high tech sustainable climate system and only used natural products to create a sacred space. Not just a conscious design but a design with soul through the amount of antique details and items with a story.
