Ayurvedic Weight Loss Kickstart Retreat in Herefordshire Countryside

Plantation Villa at Ruxton Farm offers a unique and holistic approach to weight loss, rooted in the principles of Ayurveda, an ancient system of medicine that emphasizes balance in the body, mind, and consciousness. Our weight loss kickstart program is not just about shedding pounds; it's about learning to live in harmony with your body and nature. We address the root causes of weight gain, including stress, unhealthy eating habits, and lack of movement, with a personalized plan that fits your unique needs.

Each day begins with peaceful Buddhist chanting in our serene Buddha Hall, followed by a light and nourishing breakfast. You will participate in two daily therapeutic yoga classes led by experienced teachers who blend movement, breath, and meditation. Afternoons are filled with engaging activities such as cookery classes, walking meditation in nature, Ayurveda talks, and sustainability workshops. Evenings wind down with restorative practices like Yoga Nidra, guided meditation, and sound baths, ensuring you sleep deeply and wake up refreshed.

Our program is designed to educate and empower you. You will learn the philosophy behind each practice and how to incorporate these habits into your daily life long after you leave. With over 10 years of expertise in holistic well-being and authentic Eastern practices, our team is dedicated to guiding you towards a healthier, happier way of life. The retreat also includes two sessions of fitness training, personalized consultations on arrival and departure, and full body measurements to track your progress.

The location itself is a sanctuary. Ruxton Farm is a beautiful 17th-century farmhouse surrounded by 14 acres of gardens, orchards, and meadows, with the river Wye flowing nearby. The serene environment, combined with the award-winning hospitality and our commitment to philanthropy through The Metta Trust, ensures your stay is not only beneficial for you but also for the wider community.
