True beauty is a feeling rather than fact! It's a judgment one comes to based upon their current mood.. That’s precisely why beauty can be ‘felt’ in one moment, yet not in the next, regardless of changes in physical appearance. The only way to capture the elusive 'feeling' of beauty, is to beautify the mind; and the more beautiful your inner world is, the more beauty you will naturally feel in the outside world.
Through yogic practices and ancient Ayurvedic self-care rituals, we will cultivate deep connection with our inner world and our most authentic self which allows us to tap into that pure unconditional universal love we all seek and the eternal feeling of beauty that radiates through us from the inside out.
Ayurveda's approach to wholistic beauty is simple - happy mind + healthy gut = glowing skin and radiant self-confidence! Stress has the biggest impact on our overall self-image because it directly impacts our skin which is the suit we wear in this world! When we are genuinely happy & stress-free, the body can rest and digest properly. Good digestion is the foundation for healthy hormones & skin and when the liver can function properly it purifies the blood ensuring balanced hormones, good circulation as well as supplying sufficient levels of collagen.
To be happy however, requires some effort on our behalf such as reducing daily stressors, toxin exposure (including toxic relationships & vices), reconciling repressed past traumas (essential for building emotional intelligence/regulating the nervous system) and most importantly connecting daily with what our heart truly desires (our why)!
Eva and I have created the Ayupōtheca retreat to explore Ayurveda’s multidimensional approach to beauty and why it’s so important to look our best, so we can feel our best and therefore BE our best. Beauty maintenance is important for not only our overall physical health but for our mental, emotional and spiritual health!
HEALTH/BEAUTY TOPICS WE AIM TO COVER
Century-old self-care/beauty rituals & tools (hair oiling, kansa wand face massage, dry brushing, tongue scraping etc) which are coming to the forefront of Western beauty wellness routines because topical products & invasive treatments are no longer sufficient in upholding our perception of beauty and health
The importance of practicing these rituals for preservation of knowledge/wisdom for generations to come because information overload in the digital age isn’t helping
Ayurveda’s multidimensional perspective on beauty and how it addresses the root of skin, hair or body concerns for more long-lasting transformative results
Ayurvedic herbal medicines, formulations & aphrodisiacs for promoting beauty/youth
Ayurvedic natural skin/hair/body care and makeup which supports the mind/stress, digestion/gut/liver, immunity, reproductive health and skin health for radiant beauty, positive self-image inside out!
