Ayurveda means 'Science of Life' and has its origin in the Vedas, the world's oldest books of medical knowledge. Ayurveda has been practiced for the last 5000 years and is therefore one of the first healing sciences in the world. It is a three-dimensional healing system and explains how the interaction between body, mind and spirit can be predicted, balanced and improved to enable us to stay or become healthy and vigorous.
Constitution/ Prakruti: Michaela will assess your individual constitution by examining your tongue, taking your pulse and asking specific questions about your physical, mental and emotional patterns. This is to find out which one of the humors/ doshas is out of balance and causing disease. By knowing your humors you prevent your own disease pattern.

Les Passeroses - a Yoga Retreat is located in the sunny Charente in the South West of France. Les Passeroses enjoys beautiful views of rural countryside, nestling in a tranquil valley amongst fields of corn, sunflowers and vines. The peaceful location offers an opportunity to relax and re-energize in an idyllic atmosphere.
Les Passeroses has been sensitively renovated to comfortably accommodate up to eleven people. It retains many of its original features, including oak floors, exposed beams, local stone walls and window sinks. The barn has been converted into a large multi-functional space. Each of the bedrooms is furnished in a simple, rustic and individual style with fine linens and towels adding a touch of luxury.
The land extends to over three acres with a meadow and well established gardens. There are mature fruit trees including cherry, apple and fig, a vegetable plot and herb kitchen garden. There are hidden spaces amongst the trees and foliage offer sanctuary for reading or quiet contemplation, or enjoy the large swimming pool, Japanese pond or lake. The emphasis on this holiday is to deepen your yoga practice whilst enjoying the calm and relaxing atmosphere.
Les Passeroses is situated near Montmoreau, North-East of Bordeaux and south of the town of Angouleme in the region of Poitou-Charentes, South-West France. The area is served by airports in Bordeaux, Limoges, Bergerac, Poitiers and a little further away - La Rochelle.
