Thank you for bringing me back to myself. Your Yoga practice was restorative, intuitive, calming and challenging. I’ve done Yoga many times before, but now I feel I understand Yoga and myself.

Ayurvedic exploration ONLINE – Vata
Ayurveda uses a system of ‘doshas’ or constitutional types. The most common imbalance is the Vata dosha. Vata tends to be ungrounded when imbalanced and shows up as anxiety, insomnia, IBS, dryness and other physical and emotional issues. Learn more about Vata and how we can use Ayurveda to rebalance ourselves and prevent disease.
Join Virginia and Sally for this transformative day in a stunning location. We will creatively explore how the voice can be suppressed, how we can re-learn to express ourselves, plus potential tensions related to this on a physical and emotional level. Healing practices included will come from the and wisdom of Yoga, Ayurveda, Chinese functional medicine and sound.
Step away from ordinary everyday life and join us in South India. This unique trip includes a 4 night tour through the colourful and spiritual landscapes of Kerala and Tamil Nadu, followed by an 8 night Ayurveda and Yoga retreat.
“Ayurveda uses cyclical wisdom, natures cycles of the sun and moon, day and night, shifting seasons, life stages and the body and minds natural rhythms and cycles.”

Treatments & Consultations
Prevention is better than cure but Virginia will also work with any presenting health issues that arise.
In Ayurveda we work with the elements and ‘doshas’ which indicate your past and present constitutional state as well as your disease tendencies.
Virginia is an amazing therapist. She is very professional and has helped me to reduce pain from an arthritic hip with vasti treatments. She also helped me with long standing sleep difficulties by a 2 hour shirodara session- that was sublime!

I wanted to tell you your book is in use every day. I have done the cleanse five days a week and eat carefully for two. In the three weeks I’ve done this I have lost a stone and got my blood pressure way into the safe zone! I am loving how eating the way I am has impacted on me feeling better. I seem to be on right road. I want to learn more about the Ayurvedic way of life, it’s something I put off a lifetime ago.

We all use ritual to some extent in our lives, whether we recognise this or not. What is ritual and why do we do it? Wikipaedia says – A ritual is a sequence of activities involving gestures, words, actions, or revered objects. Rituals may be prescribed by the traditions of a community, including a religious…
The process of change is not straightforward or simple. Oftentimes we have behaviour or habits which we understand are not helpful or nurturing for us and yet we choose not to change them. Why is this, and how can we begin to make positive changes? Having worked in addiction services for over 22 years I…
We need to understand that although ayurveda can appear very structured and full of rules and natures cycles can seem very fluid and flowing, they are not different, they are the same. It is our way of viewing them that can make these things feel separate.
How often should we poo? Ayurveda says at least once a day, maybe more. But why? To fully understand this we also need to understand how digestion works.
Somehow breasts have become something to be covered up, or if we choose to display them too much (not even fully) we can be seen as irresponsible, too free and easy. Seriously, what is going on? As women we are expected to be virtuous. And yet even if we manage this quality, it is still ok for others to be voyeuristic.
