Isla Mujeres
Spring 2022
with Gina Benson & Karen Score
On the stunningly beautiful island of Isla Mujeres, Mexico, we immersed ourselves in the practices of Yoga & Ayurveda. Just steps from one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, we learned about the rich history of Ayurveda and developed a firsthand understanding of simple, sustainable ways to incorporate these ancient healing practices into everyday life.
Ayurveda is the oldest medical system known, with historical roots linked to the Indian subcontinent. "Ayu" translates to "life" and "veda" translates to "knowledge." This life science knowledge has spread across the planet for over 5,000 years and its principles have been known to prevent disease, maintain homeostasis, and increase longevity. In the ancient Ayurveda texts, Dosha balance is a key emphasis noting that when the three elemental doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) are in balance, optimal health is achieved, and when out of balance dis-ease can result.
During our retreat, Gina & Karen helped us interpret the wisdom of this profound ancient system of well-being, and use it to enhance the quality of our own lives. We each received a Yoga Alliance Certificate of Completion for Ayurveda Training (30 HRS).
