Yoga classes and meditations

The ancient practices of Yoga and Meditation are a key component in embracing a more mindful lifestyle. Yoga and Meditation allow the body to restore, improve, and develop in the harmony of mind, body, and spirit. Plantation Villa’s experienced Yoga teacher Bernardo has planned a sequence of special classes that follows the Plantation Villa ideals of teaching both practice and theory of yoga.

It’s a special, down to earth approach. You will see that every class is not only about moving the body, but it also contains explanations and guidelines for you to learn and implement in your daily practice and life. His aim is for you to be actually capable of exploring the universe of Yoga by yourself, after learning the principles of movement and breath, and that your practice become one that can give you more than just a 1-hour stretching session, but a transformation of your relationship with yourself. Each class has been prerecorded at Plantation Villa’s Yoga hall so you will be able to enjoy the amazing sound of nature and beautiful birds singing during your practice.

Dhamma talks and Yoga philosophy

Through Buddhist wisdom you will understand how to find true happiness and inner peace which is what everyone in this world is looking for. In the evenings you will watch Plantation Villa’s Dhamma talk about happiness and purpose of life or a Yoga philosophy class about the mind and its potentials. We also prepared for you two sessions on Ayurveda ancient knowledge where you will understand what Ayurveda is about and how can it be beneficial in your everyday life. The classes are prepared by Plantation Villa’s extremely knowledgeable Ayurvedic doctors who are some of the leading physicians in the country.

Food guidance

Plantation Villa will provide you some useful easy recipes including video cookery classes of nutritionally balanced Ayurvedic vegan meals with which were created by Plantation Villa’s team of doctors. You will see how your body reacts positively as you feel lighter and healthier with your food and the Ayurvedic guidance that you can later incorporate into your own daily food routine.
