Bringing Ayurveda and Yoga to Life
June 2 - 9, 2013 Kauai, HI USA
Do you struggle with cravings? Have trouble attaining and maintaining your ideal weight?
Cravings and weight fluctuations are a result of fad diets and shallow approaches that don't bring lasting change.
Do you have persistent symptoms?
Many people are surprised to know that burping and gassiness, diarrhea, constipation, acne, excess weight, dry skin, coating on the tongue, cracking joints, and bad breath are signs that the disease process has begun. Cravings and weight fluctuations are aggravated by constrictive fad diets that don't bring lasting change. Education along with guidance and support will help you move deeper and take steps to get the results you want!
Did you ever think about the difference between hunger and appetite?
Is it physical or emotional hunger driving you to eat?
Do you want to live your life with freedom and perfect health?
Life does not have to get more uncomfortable as we age! We can live a healthy, vibrant, disease-free life that continues to get better as time passes.
This new Evolve Naturally retreat will address all of the above, and more! We will focus on Ayurvedic cooking, eating, and lifestyle for weight management, illness recovery, and disease prevention.

When a true change takes place within us, it is subtle and magnificent. We begin to understand the responsibility, power, and freedom we have. Then it becomes easier to take care of ourselves on all levels. Our relationships will improve; we find contentment in a life of sharing, respect, and freedom. Having the courage to be direct, gentle, and honest honors the temple of our soul. This retreat will take you on an inward journey of gentle change and transformation. - Myra Lewin
