Ayurveda Instructor: April

'' With Ayurveda’s wisdom, I will support you on a self discovery journey of finding your ultimate health and joy.''
April is a Yoga Alliance registered E-RYT 500 and YACEP instructor in the domain of Ayurveda wellness and Yoga therapy, with over 13 years of yoga experience.
Her Ayurveda journey started with self-healing, where she benefited from Ayurveda to overcome her clinical depression, anxiety and her 15-year cigarette smoking habit.
In autumn of 2022, April flew to India to meet her admirable Ayurveda teacher, Dr. Vasant Lad. It was an eye-opening trip to help her see how ancient Ayurveda could be combined with a modern mindset. This trip encouraged April to continue sharing this beautiful and sacred healing technique to more people.

Eye Yoga Instructor: Marx
Our five senses serve as tools that help us observe our world, with sight serving as the most dominant tool. Through our eyes, we can see and understand our surroundings.
In this retreat, Marx will lead Eye Yoga that helps relax our eyes and adjusts it to a better condition.
Marx has received training with Dr.Amarjith who specialized in Eye Yoga in 2018. In the beginning of the training, Marx’s shortsightedness was 400 degrees and his astigmatism was 225 degrees. After the training, his shortsightedness went down to 150 degrees, and his astigmatism went down to 120 degrees.
Eye Yoga taught Marx to be more mindful of our body and bring it to a stable stage. Once we can control our body, we will be able to enjoy the happiness that follows.
