Join the First Ayurveda Summit in Turkey this April 2025: A Journey into Gut Health and Holistic Well-being

Join the First Ayurveda Summit in Turkey this April 2025: A Journey into Gut Health and Holistic Well-being

There are quiet moments when our bodies try to speak to us in whispers — a lingering heaviness after a meal, subtle discomfort that we brush aside, or a tiredness that seems to linger without reason. We often dismiss these gentle signals, considering them part of life’s routine discomforts. But over time, they become more persistent, quietly influencing not only our physical health but also our mood, clarity of thought, and emotional well-being.

At ASHAexperience, in close collaboration with the esteemed Ayurveda Enstitü in Turkey, we have listened to countless individuals who share these very experiences. We understand the silent search for answers, the longing for balance, and the desire to feel light, vibrant, and whole once again. And it is with this deep care that we invite you to join us for the very first Ayurveda Summit in Turkey, in April 2025 — a gathering dedicated to one of the most profound and essential aspects of wellness: the health of your gut, the very heart of your vitality.

The Gut — The Silent Guardian of Your Well-Being
Both ancient Ayurvedic wisdom and modern science agree: the gut is far more than a digestive organ. It is the center of strength, resilience, and energy. When in balance, it nourishes the body and soothes the mind. When troubled, it can leave us feeling restless, fatigued, and disconnected from ourselves.

Discomforts like bloating, gas, and constipation may seem small at first, but they are often the body’s way of asking for attention. In Ayurveda, this gentle language of the body is deeply understood. The digestive fire, or Agni, is seen as the flame of life itself. When Agni burns steadily, the body thrives. When it falters, toxins build, and imbalance arises.

For many, conditions such as SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth), chronic indigestion, and digestive discomfort are quietly endured without truly understanding their origins. Even more so, the connection between stress, diet, and these persistent symptoms often remains hidden beneath daily routine.

It is time to pause and listen. And this summit has been thoughtfully created to guide you in doing just that.

A Summit of Purpose and Care
In April 2025, ASHAexperience and Ayurveda Enstitü will bring together leading experts and guidance in an event designed to awaken understanding and offer practical solutions. This summit is not merely a gathering of knowledge, but a gentle and enlightening journey that will help you reconnect with your body’s natural rhythm.

Over four carefully curated sessions, we will explore how digestion speaks to the mind, how emotions shape the body, and how simple practices rooted in ancient tradition can transform discomfort into ease, and worry into well-being. Each expert will lovingly share not only their insights but also practical pathways that you can weave into your daily life, with grace and simplicity.

What Awaits You in This Thoughtful Gathering?

1. A Deeper Understanding of Digestive Disorders Through the Ayurvedic Lens
Dr. Mamatha S Simha will invite you into the world of Ayurveda’s understanding of digestive imbalances. You will come to recognize digestive patterns — Vishama Agni, Tikshna Agni, and Manda Agni — and learn how they affect both the body and mind. She will gently guide you through the differences between modern medical explanations and the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, offering a holistic perspective that feels both reassuring and empowering.

2. The Quiet Conversation Between the Gut and the Mind
Have you ever wondered why stress settles in your stomach? Why anxiety can stir discomfort, or why peace can soothe digestion? Dr. Anoosha Shastry, an expert in both Ayurveda and psychology, will illuminate this subtle yet powerful connection. She will reveal how the mind and gut are in constant dialogue, and how, with mindful breath and soft awareness, you can calm the storm and restore tranquility.

3. Healing the Body With Food, Spices, and Nature’s Wisdom
Food is more than sustenance; it is nourishment for both body and soul. Dr. Ranjini N R will share the art of Ayurvedic nutrition, revealing how carefully chosen foods, warming spices, and ancient herbal remedies can gently restore balance. Her guidance will help you feel more in tune with your own needs and inspire confidence in making daily choices that support lightness and vitality.

4. The Gentle Power of Yoga and Breath in Nurturing Digestive Health
Movement has a language of its own, and when practiced with intention, it can awaken the body’s healing energy. Ayurvedic Yoga Therapist Donna Williams will guide you through serene yoga postures and calming breathing techniques that are designed to support digestion, ease tension, and bring a sense of inner spaciousness. You will discover simple yet profound practices that can become part of your daily ritual, offering comfort and renewal.

5. Closing Reflections: A Path Forward With Panchakarma and Ayurvedic Guidance
To complete this journey, the team from ASHAexperience and the Ayurveda Enstitü will come together in a panel discussion. They will explore the deeply rejuvenating process of Panchakarma — a time-honored Ayurvedic detoxification therapy that restores balance from within. You will learn who this process is suited for, how it is lovingly administered under expert care, and why it can be a life-changing experience for those seeking deep healing.

Gentle Guidance for Daily Life
We understand that knowledge alone can feel overwhelming without direction. That is why, at the close of each session, our experts will share a compassionate and practical section, “What Can You Do at This Stage?” These thoughtful suggestions will help you take gentle, meaningful steps to support your digestive health, beginning the moment the summit ends.

Why Does This Matter — To Us, and to You?
At ASHAexperience and the Ayurveda Enstitü, we are not simply organizers. We are companions on a mission to raise awareness, touch lives, and offer hope. Digestive health is not merely a clinical concern; it is a daily reality that affects energy, confidence, relationships, and joy. We see this, we feel it with those we serve, and we care deeply.

Through this summit, we hope to help you understand that you do not need to live with discomfort, confusion, or frustration. There are time-tested, natural, and scientifically validated solutions waiting to bring you comfort, clarity, and renewed vitality.

Is This for You?
This summit is crafted for anyone who senses that their body has been calling for attention — those who feel discomfort after meals, fatigue without reason, or emotional strain they cannot fully explain. Whether you are just beginning to explore holistic health or are already on the path, this event will offer wisdom and gentle guidance that you can trust and carry forward.

From Despair to Radiance: How Ayurveda Healed Elena’s Psoriasis and Transformed Her Life

From Despair to Radiance: How Ayurveda Healed Elena’s Psoriasis and Transformed Her Life

There is a moment in every mother’s life when fear takes root. It is the fear for her child’s well-being, the fear of the unknown, the fear of what the future holds. We remember the first time we spoke to Elena’s mother. Her voice carried the weight of worry, desperation, and most of all, love.

Elena (Name changed due to privacy policy), a brilliant 24-year-old, was battling psoriasis. This was not just a condition of the skin but an affliction that had begun to shape her life in ways that extended far beyond the physical. It touched her confidence, drained her energy, and slowly altered the way she saw herself. As a high-achiever, she thrived in a world of competition, always pushing herself to excel. But beneath the surface, her body was quietly crying out for balance. And when the first signs of psoriasis appeared, the struggle became more than just a matter of health. It became an emotional, psychological, and ever-present storm that she could not control.

Her mother, deeply concerned for her daughter’s well-being, found her way to ASHAexperience. She was not just searching for Ayurvedic treatment for psoriasis; she was seeking something more. She needed a path to holistic healing for skin diseases that would not only address the symptoms but restore her daughter’s vitality and inner harmony. And so, Elena’s Ayurvedic journey began.

A Journey of Healing, Rooted in Ayurveda
When Elena came to us, we didn’t simply offer her a treatment plan. We welcomed her into a space where healing was not just about medicine, but about transformation. Her journey toward wellness did not begin when she arrived in India. It started long before, in the quiet moments of preparation, where the first steps toward balance were taken from the comfort of her home.

Under the guidance of Dr. Anoosha N Shastry, one of our esteemed Ayurvedic doctors, a personalized healing protocol was designed specifically for her. Ayurvedic supplements and herbal remedies for psoriasis were introduced to gently support her system, while her daily routine was carefully reshaped to bring her body and mind into greater alignment. But Ayurveda is not just about what we consume—it is also about how we move, how we breathe, and how we exist within our own rhythm.

To support this, Elena began practising yoga under the compassionate guidance of Julie, one of our dedicated community members and a yoga teacher. Through online yoga sessions, she slowly began reconnecting with her body, calming her mind, and preparing herself for the deeper healing that awaited in India. It was not just about the physical postures; it was about cultivating stillness and strength from within.

After six weeks of preparation, the time had finally come for Elena to take the next step. She travelled to India, ready to immerse herself in the profound wisdom of Ayurveda.

The Power of Ayurveda in Action
For four weeks, Elena lived and breathed the essence of Ayurvedic healing for skin wellness. Her journey was not just about treating the skin but about restoring balance to the entire being. She underwent Panchakarma therapy for psoriasis, a deep and transformative Ayurvedic detoxification for skin health, designed to cleanse the body at its core. This was not a quick fix, but a gradual unfolding of true healing, as layer by layer, her body began to let go of the imbalances that had manifested as psoriasis.

Her condition, which had begun spreading across her scalp and causing great concern, started to improve. Each treatment, each carefully prepared meal, each moment of stillness worked together to restore her vitality. And as the days passed, we could sense the shift—not just in her skin, but in her spirit.

Throughout this process, her mother remained by her side, witnessing her daughter’s transformation firsthand. The messages she sent us became softer, infused with gratitude and relief. She spoke of the warmth of the therapists, the deep care of the doctors, and the simple yet profound joy of morning walks. Elena was not just healing—she was awakening to a new way of living.

When she left India at the end of her treatment, her skin was transformed. But more importantly, her entire being had undergone a shift. She was lighter, freer, and more at peace with herself.
Yet, true healing is not a destination; it is an ongoing journey.

A Commitment to Wellness, A Life Forever Changed
Eight months later, Elena made the decision to return. This time, she came for another two weeks of Ayurvedic skin care for psoriasis, not because she was unwell, but because she had come to understand that wellness is something to be nurtured continuously. She embraced this second visit not as a necessity, but as a reaffirmation of the life she had begun to cultivate.

By then, Ayurveda was no longer just a treatment she had undergone. It had become a way of life. The food she ate, the way she moved, the way she honored her body’s natural cycles—all of it was now guided by the wisdom of Ayurveda. She no longer saw psoriasis as an enemy to be fought but as a messenger that had led her to this path of deeper self-care.

Her mother, too, found herself drawn into this healing philosophy. The practice of yoga and meditation became a part of her daily life, not as an obligation, but as an act of self-love.

This is why ASHAexperience exists. It is not just about treating ailments; it is about guiding individuals through a journey of true transformation. Healing is never just about the physical body—it is about rediscovering balance, peace, and the joy of simply being.

If Elena’s story resonates with you—if you or someone you love is searching for a path beyond symptoms, toward true wellness—know that Ayurveda holds the answers. And that we, at ASHAexperience, are here to walk this journey with you.

Read Kevin’s Inspiring Journey: How Ayurveda Freed Him from Fibromyalgia and Addiction, Leading to His Startup Success

There are moments when a story touches our hearts so profoundly that it reshapes how we view healing and hope. Kevin’s journey is one such story — a testament to the incredible power of Ayurveda and the unwavering belief that change is always possible.

Though his name has been changed to protect his privacy, Kevin’s journey with ASHAexperience is a story we hold close to our hearts. It’s a narrative of resilience, transformation, and the deep connection between the body and mind.

A Mother’s Love: The Beginning of Kevin’s Journey
Kevin’s story began with a mother’s plea for help. She reached out to us, her voice heavy with worry but also filled with determination. Kevin was struggling with the debilitating pain of fibromyalgia, a condition that is often misunderstood and leaves many feeling hopeless. Alongside this, he faced an addiction that had taken control of his life—substances, caffeine, alcohol—all fueling a downward spiral.

His mother, however, saw a glimmer of hope in Ayurveda. She had visited our centre Terre Des Sens in Geneva and believed this ancient science could offer Kevin the healing he desperately needed. With her love and belief as the driving force, Kevin took his first step toward transformation.

The Path to Healing: How Ayurveda Changed Kevin’s Life
When Kevin came to us, he was a shadow of his former self. Years of addiction and the relentless grip of fibromyalgia had left him physically and emotionally drained. Imagine consuming over 20 espressos daily just to function—that was Kevin’s reality.

Our Ayurvedic Doctor, Neela Sheth, saw the interconnectedness of his struggles. Fibromyalgia, a condition that many view as incurable, is deeply tied to emotional health and lifestyle. Kevin’s journey required more than a treatment plan—it required a complete reset of his body and mind.

We guided him to undergo Panchakarma therapy, a powerful Ayurvedic Treatment process in Kerala, India. For four weeks, Kevin embraced the process, shedding layers of pain and toxicity. By the end of this intensive treatment, he began to feel lighter, stronger, and, for the first time in years, hopeful.

Realizing the impact of these changes, Kevin extended his stay for another month. He wanted to understand how Ayurveda was transforming him—not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually.

Freedom and a Fresh Start
The transformation was remarkable. Kevin returned to Switzerland with a renewed sense of purpose. He was free from the clutches of addiction—no more caffeine, no alcohol, no substances. He was free from the chronic pain that had dictated his life.

Kevin found himself again. An artist at heart, he rediscovered his passion for design and launched his own startup. The man who once struggled to get out of bed was now thriving, creating, and building a life he could be proud of.

8 months later, Kevin returned for follow-up treatment—not out of necessity, but as a commitment to the Ayurvedic lifestyle that had given him so much. Seeing his progress was a poignant reminder of why we do what we do at ASHAexperience.

Hope for Those Who Struggle
Kevin’s story is not unique—it’s universal. It speaks to anyone battling fibromyalgia, addiction, or the weight of chronic conditions. His journey is proof that there is hope, even when the road ahead feels impossible.

Ayurveda is more than just a system of medicine; it’s a way of life that addresses the root causes of imbalance. By aligning the body, mind, and spirit, it offers a path to transformative and sustainable healing.

If you or someone you love is facing a similar struggle, know that there is a way forward. You are not alone, and healing is within reach.

Why should you travel to India for your first Yoga Retreat?

Why should you travel to India for your first Yoga Retreat?

In the life of every yoga practitioner comes a time when one feels the urge to give their body and mind some time to truly know themselves. Disconnecting from your daily life gives you the opportunity to get to know yourself better, to contemplate and to learn new things about your life. Leaving everything behind for sometime feels like the right thing to do, so why wouldn’t you choose to give yourself that kind of treat in beautiful India, where yoga is not just a practice, it is a lifestyle.

Travel to the Yoga capital of the world

Yoga has been practiced in India for over a thousand years, and nowadays India offers many different retreats. Yoga retreats are great healing holidays and a true gift to oneself. The main purpose of yoga retreats is to isolate the mind from all thoughts, worries, and fears, and to increase the strength and flexibility of the body.

This yogic inward journey gives great opportunities to find balance within life. You can find programs for beginners or experienced practitioners, of any form of yoga. Retreats are placed all over India, in traditional ashrams or modern places. You can choose between the bank of the Ganges in Rishikesh, high in the Himalayas, or by the sea in Goa. Possibilities almost seem to be endless.

Possibility of learning authentic Yoga Sutras

Yoga retreats in India open the possibility of learning a combination of traditional and modern yoga practiced and developed by various yogis . You can find various yogic experiences, may it be Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa or Kundalini yoga. As we all know that the three main pillars of Yoga structures are asanas, pranayama and meditation. Hence the goal of the Yoga retreats always revolves around to create a wholesome and interdependent sense of wellbeing, by offering balance of mind and body through asanas, breathing and meditation. The yoga retreats are designed for everyone whether you are just a beginner who wants to develop a personal yoga practice, or you are an experienced yogi who wants to gain certificates and learn from highly skilled gurus/ teachers. One thing is sure, that Yoga retreats definitely give you a chance to deepen your yoga practice and to transform your perception of life.

Beside practicing yoga, many retreats offer classes and workshops about yoga philosophy and history of yoga along with the lessons about yoga anatomy and physiology. The focus is to help you understand the roots of yoga and its effect on your body and mind.

Right spiritual environment for Meditation and Chanting.

India is always known as a reservoir of spiritual knowledge and wisdom. One can find the undercurrent of spiritualism in every ashram, retreat, and in fact in every corner of India. Ancient authentic Yoga is always practiced with meditation and chanting for strengthening the inner energy. The meditation in Indian ashram or retreats not only gives you the gift of consciousness of the present moment but also the opportunity to truly relax. Therefore, most of the retreats and ashrams are designed to practice yoga along with chanting and meditation.

Get connected to the Yoga community:

Travelling to India on a yoga retreat is like connecting to the beautiful yoga community. The whole atmosphere in the retreat and ashram is designed in such a way that you can feel supported and empowered with the wonderful new yogic community. A sense of gratitude and freedom comes though you are not known to anyone in the community but yet get connected through the common thread of YOGA. After all we are all connected on this incredible yogic journey of life.

Taste the Yogic and satvik Food:

Indian Yoga retreats and ashrams always offer the purest form of food called satvik food. The yoga sutra defines that, satvik food offers nourishment to the body and peace to the mind. The ancient yogis realized the healing properties of satvik food which created inner peace and calmness. Therefore, it is greatly popular among yogis as it brings energy and freshness to the mind.

The yogic and sattvic diet is difficult to incorporate into daily life which is why most Indian yoga retreats and ashrams focus on the sattvic diet and offer the lesson on how to prepare yogic meals.

Yoga retreats in India are the perfect getaway for someone who is ready for holistic transformation. It is not just about yogic experience, it’s also about personal growth, recognizing your own strengths, and achieving inner peace. If you have not yet experienced your yoga retreat in India then why not connect with our team who can hold your hand and organize the wonderful Yogic Experience in India called RAGA- The Rhythm
