The festive season is a time of joy, celebration, and indulgence—but rich foods, late nights, and extra treats can leave your body feeling heavy or sluggish.

That’s why we’re excited to gift you our free online course: The Festive Indulgence Reset—designed to help you enjoy the season while gently supporting your body and mind.

Once you book, you’ll get 30 days to access the materials.

This mini course is made up of two simple, practical videos:

1. Introduction to Ayurveda & Your Dosha

• Discover what Ayurveda really means and how it can guide your health;
• Learn about the three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—and how to recognise your own unique constitution;
• Explore the five pathways of Dru Ayurveda and discover a holistic approach to applying Ayurvedic wisdom to every aspect of life, from yoga and meditation practices to daily routines, diet, and lifestyle choices.

2. Kitcheri Cooking Session

Join us for a step-by-step guide to making kitcheri, a nourishing, easy-to-digest, high-protein meal that is traditionally used in Ayurveda for cleansing and restoring balance. Kitcheri is ideal for a post-festive reset because it:

• Supports digestion without overloading the system;
• Nourishes the body with balanced proteins, grains, and warming spices;
• Is gentle yet satisfying, so you feel energized rather than deprived;
• Fits perfectly into a health plan designed to manage the indulgences of the festive season while keeping you nourished and balanced.

Why This Course Is Perfect for the Festive Season:

• Helps reconnect with your body and constitution;
• Offers simple, practical tools for gentle reset and balance;
• Provides easy-to-follow, nourishing recipes that support wellbeing;
• Encourages a mindful, enjoyable approach to festive eating without restriction.

This course is our gift to you!

It’s a simple, supportive way to experience the power of Ayurveda, even if you’re completely new to it. Enjoy the festive season with warmth, joy, and balance—and discover how small, mindful steps can help you feel lighter, more energised, and ready for the new year.

With festive wishes,

A deeply nourishing journey into the world of facial marma points—the vital energy centres in Ayurveda that connect body, mind, and spirit.

Prana is the vital life force that flows through the body and mind, sustaining your physical health, emotional balance, and mental clarity. Marma points act as energy gateways along this pranic network, and by gently activating them, you can release blockages and restore the natural flow of energy.

In this on-demand course, you’ll learn a nourishing self-massage technique focused on the marma points of the face, head, and neck—areas where the senses and mind reside—to help calm the nervous system, awaken inner clarity, and bring a deep sense of harmony from within.

This is more than just a beauty ritual—it’s an invitation to release tension, restore harmony, and reconnect with your inner radiance.

These recordings are taken from a live online session. You may notice a few natural moments, pauses or interactions — just as if you were there with us. We hope this adds to the sense of connection and shared practice.

 “Marmani serve as points of access to the body’s innate intelligence, opening the doorway to health and well-being.
They are vehicles to reach the ultimate goal of Ayurveda: perfect health, firmly rooted in a vibrantly alive body and fully awakened mind.”
