'Ekam'
A Wellness Weekend Retreat
🌿|| Yoga - Ayurveda - Nature ||🌿
This event is now over.
🌼
The retreat was held between 20th to 22nd October, 2023 at Lincoln, UK
(check out the pictures from the event at the bottom of this page)
Just 2.5hour drive from London, we all gathered for Ekam at a Grade II listed Elizabethan estate, surrounded by 75 acres of woodlands, meadows, and lakes - to reconnect with nature and for self-discovery.
🦋
We fully embraced the Yogic way of life, diving into traditional practices.
Hatha Yoga and Pranayama became part of our daily routine, and we delved deep into the wisdom of Yog Kriyas and Ayurveda.
Through guided meditation and Yog Nidra, we calmed our busy minds, and chanting Mantras with our amazing group brought us a real sense of spiritual connection.
We opened up, sharing our deepest feelings and funny stories, all while savoring soul-enriching Ayurvedic meals and enjoying rejuvenating nature walks.
This immersive journey allowed us to discover a profound sense of fulfillment and inner peace in the special space we created together.

🌻 Archana
After a fortunate yet formidable 20+ year career in corporate media, I discovered my life's purpose on the Yoga mat.
I began practicing Yoga in my teens to manage my asthma condition, and today, I am both content and blessed to share my practice with my students.
Certified in Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga Vinyasa, Pre & Post Natal Yoga, Yoga for Cancer Rehabilitation & Recovery, Ayurveda & Yoga Psychology - personally, I am deeply passionate about studying and applying Yoga's profound philosophy, which has greatly enriched my life in numerous ways.
My aim is to help people find balance & feel great, both in body and mind, just as it does for me!
See you on the mat!
🌻Dhara
I'm a passionate yoga practitioner and teacher with over 1100 hours of training in Hatha and Ashtanga Vinyasa, deeply rooted in India's spiritual heritage.
Six years ago, I began my yoga journey in India, where it's wisdom and transformative power captivated me. As I connected with the traditional practices of yoga, I found myself drawn to its knowledge, healing power, and ability to connect mind, body, and spirit.
I'm on a mission to bridge traditional and modern yoga. Our practice on the mat is a safe space to break free from self-imposed limitations, discover inner strength and resilience, and find well-being that goes beyond the mat.
Join me on this transformative path.
🌻Dr. Abhijit Jinde
An ardent follower of Ayurveda & a clinical practitioner for 20+ years - I have inherited the interest of medicine from my father who is an allopathic Paediatrician.
I strongly believe that the future of medicine and disease preventive modalities for humanity will be Integration of the conventional and traditional systems.
My aim is not only to ensure the health of individuals but also to empower them with knowledge about the mechanisms of diseases and the significant role of nutrition and healthy living in both treating and preventing illnesses for the future.
About
Ekam Wellness Retreats
Ekam is a labour of love - shaped by my deepest reverence for Yoga, unwavering faith in Ayurveda and profound gratitude for Mother Nature.
All this combined with my passion for bringing communities together through events & gatherings (from my past media life!).
By harmoniously blending these elements, my goal is to ignite a spark of holistic well-being, spiritual growth, and a deeper connection with nature.
The Purpose:
The retreats are designed to bring people closer to a holistic lifestyle.
With a series of carefully curated experiences, we wish to help participants cultivate habits that will nurture their body, mind & soul
- focusing on both physical & mental wellbeing.
The purpose is for our lovely yogis to embark on a way of life that isn’t just limited to their stay at the retreat but practicable forever.
These retreats are not designed as an escape; rather, its intension is to assist you in crafting a life you don't need an escape from.
