So, January was just a free trial of 2024, right?
Whatever your goals are, here at TOR Spa would love to help you achieve them with Ayurvedic living offering up a template to work from.
By following the principles of Ayurveda, you can achieve your goals by promoting overall health and well-being, which can lead to increased energy, improved focus and concentration, and a greater sense of purpose. Ayurveda offers personalised recommendations for diet, lifestyle, and self-care practices based on your unique constitution or “dosha.” By aligning your habits with your dosha, you can optimise your physical and mental health, and achieve your goals with greater ease and efficiency.
Whether you need a treatment to help ease an ailment, as a way to reset and relax, or simply want a break from it all with good, nourishing food and the peace of the countryside to soothe your soul – we are here for you.

With the weather remaining a tad on the colder side, we thought we’d share this beautiful photo of the Spa in the snow from a few years back, and post it with a reminder that goals can be set at any time of the year.
There is something to be said for the winter and its ability to force us to slow down and reflect, both on the days that have passed but also the year that lays ahead. As we head into the third week of January, talk already begins to turn to the idea that we have already failed our new year’s resolutions.
But maybe we are looking at it wrong. Maybe it is not a winning or failing, black or white scenario. Maybe the cold, short days of winter are here to make us sit back and contemplate what shape we want our lives to take once the sun comes back and the world springs back to life. The all or nothing approach combined with a punishment narrative can only lead to failure, especially in days that are harsher and more contemplative than most. As local writer Katherine May says in her book ‘Wintering’ “We have seasons when we flourish and seasons when the leaves fall from us, revealing our bare bones. Given time, they grow again.”
Remember, there is nothing magical about January first. You can begin again whenever you choose. But when you do, make sure you do it with kindness.
Here at TOR Spa Retreat, we have spa packages to suit all of your needs. Time in our beautiful spa starts from as little as £35.00 and treatments at £30.00. Why not treat your self to a little selfcare this January.
Please see our website for our full range of packages packages/ Ayurveda Retreat UK | Kent Detox Spa | TOR Spa Retreat and call 01227 728500 to book.

“May all be happy, may all be free from disabilities, may all look to the good of others, may none suffer from sorrow” Ayurvedic Stanza
As with all holistic methods of healing, Ayurveda looks to treat the individual as a whole. The mind, body and spirit are all linked and for true healing to take place all of these elements must be considered together and never separated. Emotions and thoughts have a powerful impact on the way our body is expressed and the higher levels of our spirit must also be in alignment for a healthy life. Herbs work well within this holistic system as they treat all levels of the self and create balance with natural healing elements, rather than man-made chemicals. Ayureda contains many different methods and forms of herbal preparation which are all designed for different therapeutic effects. This ancient method of healing uses infusions, decoctions, powders, poultices, pastes, oils and liniments in a great variety to support healing. The herbs used will depend on the person’s dosha, their presenting symptoms and the weather.
Here at TOR Spa Retreat different oils, teas and foods are used to balance and relax our guests and give their whole system support before they return to their busy lives.

Tip: The easiest way to bring herbal remedies into your own life is to try herbal teas. You can buy prepared blends from good health food shops which have Ayurvedic herbs such as fennel, tulsi and liquorice. If you are feeling creative you can make your own teas with household and garden herbs. Lavender and rosemary both make lovely blends from your own garden or cinnamon and clove combinations can be made from your kitchen supplies. Be creative and try different blends and if you want to invest in a tea strainer or herbal tea pot then you can create lovely smooth teas with no bits!

“The beauty of plants, especially of flowers, uplifts our emotions, we recognise the masterly touch of creation in them” Vaidya Bhagwan Dash
Ayurveda is both a science of life and a system of medicine. It aims to treat the person as a whole so will take into account your lifestyle, diet, mental disposition and exercise routine. Therefore even in wellness you can take measures to bring the Ayurvedic teachings into your own Western lifestyle easily on an everyday basis. Herbs, oils and diet play a big part in Ayurvedic health programmes and these can easily be practiced at home. These days we are always rushing, never focussing on the moment and constantly worrying about situations that may never occur. Letting go of these modern day traditions and allowing life to flow easily in the direction it is leading you is a valuable tool for dealing with the natural changes in our path. By bringing healing herbs, simple rituals and foods into your day, you can support your body and mind through the challenges modern life brings.
By visiting an Ayurvedic retreat like TOR Spa Retreat you can learn how to ‘release’, ‘relax’ and ‘let go’ in true Ayurvedic style and learn ways of incorporating that peace into your own routine. Here at TOR Spa Retreat we combine all the teachings and principles of Ayurveda in a simple and relaxing way by bringing nature, rejuvenating treatments and stillness together in spa day or retreat experiences.
Tip: If you want to bring a little Ayurveda into your own life then you can take some simple first steps by being aware of the way you use your home. Do you have papers and clutter lying around? Do you have old clothes which you never wear at the back of your cupboard? Is there dust collecting on your bookshelves? Think of your home as your own spiritual retreat. Make an effort to burn oils, keep it tidy and tend to your plants. You can even make an area focussed on relaxation and put flowers, ornaments and candles in that corner. Each day spend 5 minutes in this area breathing deeply and focussing on the things you are grateful for in your life. If you can’t manage 5 then do 2 minutes, every little helps!
