Client review - Jo

Such a privilege to be on the first Dorset retreat! Anu has in depth knowledge & experience beyond many, intertwining it all to create her own style and above all keeping things simple. She was a dream to stay with, to learn with, and to return home feeling light & bright and confident about moving forwards myself. I can’t wait to read her book to keep me aligned and to keep her close. Thank you.

Client review - Rosanna

I highly recommend the Jivita Ayurveda Retreat at Wraxall Yard in the beautiful West Dorset countryside.  Having been diagnosed with MS, I wanted to manage my life better and achieve a sense of well-being.  Over three wonderful days I settled into a calming routine of gentle exercise, peaceful meditations and delicious seasonal food.  Highlights were Anu’s healing massages and a fascinating nature walk guided by Nick Read, founder of Wraxall Yard.  All in all it was an amazing and transformative three days. Thank you, Anu!
