| Ayurveda |
Ayurveda is an intricate system of healing that originated in India thousands of years ago. We can find historical evidence of Ayurveda in the ancient books of wisdom known as Vedas.
Ayurveda is made up of two Sanskrit words - Ayur, which means life and Veda, which means knowledge. Ayurveda, thus, is the knowledge of life.
Ayurveda may come from ancient texts, but these timeless principles are just as applicable today as they were thousands of years ago.
The Ayurveda approach to life involves listening to and addressing the unique needs of your body, recognising and balancing your mental and emotional states and deepening your connection with your spirit, your essential self.
Ayurmana: Ayurmana is the exclusive Ayurveda Centre where highly qualified, reputed physicians practice genuine age-old traditions and treatments. A self-contained wing that caters to your total rejuvenation and therapy needs, in the ambience of an authentic, age-old Tharavad .
Yoga & Meditation: Know your inner self at Kumarakom Lake Resort. Discover harmony with nature, with Yoga. Asanas or postures in Yoga, meant to isolate the ego from the body and mind are designed to sharpen your concentration, improve your health and assist you in attaining peace of mind. |
