Spend a Saturday cooking, creating and experiencing Ayurveda in a relaxed, hands-on way.
Ayurveda at Home is about taking traditional Ayurvedic ideas and turning them into things you can actually cook, make and use in everyday life.
🍲 COOK & TASTE
Together we’ll prepare a nourishing vegetarian Ayurvedic lunch, make a seasonal drink and something sweet for dessert.
Along the way, explore spices, digestion, the six tastes and simple Ayurvedic food principles you can use in your own kitchen.
🌿 CREATE & TAKE HOME
Work with Ayurvedic herbs, spices and flowers to make:
✨ A Floral Face & Body Blend
✨ A Herbal Hair & Scalp Mask
✨ A Herbal Massage Compress
Everything you create is yours to take home.
🙌 EXPERIENCE
Learn practical head and scalp, body and foot self-massage, alongside breathwork, grounding practices and simple Ayurvedic rituals you can continue at home.
You’ll also explore digestion, seasonal living, daily rhythm and how Ayurveda can fit realistically into modern life.
