8th Continent Soymilk Taste of Life Tour- Rasayana Cove Ayurvedic Retreat

The next stop on my 8th Continent Soymilk Taste of Life Tour was the Rasyana Cove Ayurvedic retreat.

It is set back in the woods in Central Florida- to the point where my GPS was yelling at me all confused and frustrated. But I did find the entrance to the retreat finally.

The property was beautifully amazing and natural. Dinesh Mader, (the husband and co-owner)  took me around to all of the guest cabins. They were modest and primitive- ie- exactly what someone would want to stay in for a week to get in better touch with not only themselves, but also the wild Floridian nature that surrounded them.

Dinesh informed me about the Ayurvedic diet. The main staple they eat each day starts with Basmati rice. They also invite all of their guests on the retreat to join them in the kitchen to learn how to cook with Ghee. Maintaining a healthy diet that is conducive to the body’s digestive habits is quintessential to the Ayurvedic beliefs. You also maintain a strict meditation schedule while on the retreat, creating balance and structure.

Dinesh explained how he loves basing his retreat out of Florida because the climate gives more of a feel that India is naturally known for.

Hopefully next time I can actually get a treatment and let you all know how it felt! From how it looks in the video- it was probably amazing. Check out their website and find out more about the retreat! http://www.ayurvedicretreat.com/index.htm
