Datu Wellness retreats brings transformative Ayurvedic healing to Tuscany On the fourth day of a week-long retreat in the Tuscan countryside I’m standing atop a grassy hill at sunset.
So while Italy might not be the first place that comes to mind when thinking of where to practice it, Datu Wellness is among a growing number of Ayurveda retreats where you can reboot without the long-haul flight.
Ayurveda, the ancient Indian medicine, has been gaining pace with westerners in the past few years, due to an increasing feeling that mainstream medicine is failing to address the health issues caused by their hectic lives.
It’s all in the name of movement therapy, one of the Ayurvedic practices which promises to help rebalance my doshas (life forces) in the name of better health and wellbeing.
As Bjerke said himself, “Take what you want and leave what you don’t.” I have come home eating much cleaner, with less UPFs in my diet and more aware of the physical impact mental stress has on my body.
