“I met a yoga teacher, the yoga teacher decided to come and bring a group and we thought ‘wow, this a great idea’. And the yoga group came and it was a great success. The villagers loved it, we loved it, the people who came loved it, and we realised that that’s the way to do it. So now we open it for just under twenty weeks a year and that’s enough to fund the village for the rest of the year.”

“The village people decide what to do, there is a committee of seven here. They make up their minds as to how it should be run, and everybody’s responsible for an area they have. For instance the person who is probably looking after your hut, he’s not been told you need to do this, you need to make a bed like this, you need to do it in this certain way. He’s told these people are your responsibility, this side’s your responsibility, go for it, do it whatever way you want.”

“For so many of us there is so much to do in the average day that it’s quite hard to sit back and relax. Something like this effectively forces you to relax, you just have to sit back here because the pace of life dictates that and I think that is just something that really you don’t experience normally, it’s something that money can’t buy.”

“When they come really, the main problem which they have is the stress and anxiety-like things in the city life and their busy works. So in that case when they come, at the beginning they feel very fiery and they are not relaxed. But especially when I talk about our treatment I would say our signature treatment is ten days treatment with the purgation. And I have good experience with that treatment, they feel very relaxed and they feel very calm and finally they come to balance.”
