Aurveda/ Yoga/ Meditation retreats

The first hospital in the ancient world was in Sri Lanka in Mihintale and ruins of other such royally apointed hospitals are still in existence in Mihintale, Anuradhapura, and Medirigiriya Aurveda is an alternative (herbal) medicine system that has been practiced in India and Sri Lanka since ancient times, which deals with curing the individual as a whole and not merely symptomatically. In particular these have been very effective in the cure of chronic conditions such as asthma, eczema, arthritis, insomnia, and other similar ailments. Avurvedha is recommended for inner balance and fulfillment out of life, which perhaps a western lifestyle sometimes overlooks. With this Sri Lankan heritage and knowledge in alternative medicine it is understandable that many visit the island to access its special healing, and relaxation retreats and in fact a number of such revitalizing programmes are being offered by specialist resorts across the island, from the sunny southern coast of Barberyn , and Galle to the more secluded forest retreats in the Central highlands Yoga trains the mind, body and soul together to find equilibrium in unity,and the result is inner peace. Meditation centres teaching and holding sessions are to be found mainly in Kandy and you can participate, free of charge or for a small donation of your choice.
