Ayurveda
and Yoga tour is an ideal tour for those who are interested
in traditional Indian
science. Ayurveda means the "science
of life". It originated in India more than 5,000 years back and is
believed to be the oldest healing science in existence, from which all
other systems emerged. Yoga is an important,
natural, preventive measure to ensure good health.
Yoga is the science of the union with the divine, with truth. The practice
of an ayurvedic regimen is a precursor to Yoga, because it is only when
the body is fit that the individual is ready to study the spiritual
science of Yoga.
Ayurveda
explains the laws of nature that cause health or disease.
During the Ayurveda and
Yoga tour,
there will be two different
training sessions on Yoga and Ayurveda.
In the morning from 6 to 8.30 you will have Yoga and
Pranayam
session.
During the Yoga session you will be taught
various
Yoga
exercises
and asanas (different body postures). After finishing the Yoga training there will be a break
and the day

Ayurveda session from 15.30 to 17.30.
During the Ayurveda session you will be offered treatments by Ayurveda
experts according to your body type. You would also be invited by the
Ayurveda Doctor to discuss your
personal treatment. This personal discussion, observation and consultation
thereafter will be the base for your Ayurveda treatment planning for the
next coming days.After
Ayurveda session there will be a break
followed by the dinner.
After your dinner there will
be an assembly to discuss different topics of Yoga
and Ayurveda. Our Ayurveda

grandson's reign, Shah Jahan who built the impressive imperial quarters and
mosque. After the visit of Agra Fort we proceed to visit the most beautiful
monument of India, the
Taj Mahal, an enduring monument to love, with a
continually fulfilling beauty. It was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan
between 1631-52, as a tomb and memorial to his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal
