Our big Ayurveda Health & Wellness Day

Feel, experience and enjoy Ayurveda.

We’re already looking forward to welcoming you to our Ayurveda Health & Wellness Day and to making this a special day for you.
# We care for you.

For your easy access to the event, we have decided to broadcast the whole day live on our YouTube channel. Click this link and connect with us.

Ayurveda – “science/knowledge of a (long) life” – is considered the world’s oldest and most holistic approach to health and was recognised as traditional medicine by the WHO (World Health Organisation).

This holistic health teaching – Ayurveda – considers life as one whole and combines physical, psychological, mental and spiritual aspects. Its primary goal is to establish harmony of body, mind and spirit, and in so doing to prevent disease or, if necessary, to heal.

What sounds complicated at first is actually quite simple. When we apply even small changes to our daily routine, we do a great deal for our health and wellness. We feel lighter, more alive and powerful.

Our big Ayurveda Health & Wellness Day will give you the opportunity to benefit from Germany’s most well-known and experienced practitioners, to learn some of Ayurveda’s most valuable approaches and discover invaluable tips on how to integrate Ayurveda into your daily life, to improve your sense of well-being and enrich your life.

Supporting people so they can (re)discover their inner balance, good health, energy, joy, happiness and harmony has been the essence of Maharishi Ayurveda for over 35 years.

Come cook with Germany’s most popular Ayurveda chef - Volker Mehl

Volker Mehl has an incredibly skilled, versatile, authentic and warm personality.

Born in Mannheim, Germany, in 1976, Volker Mehl was already playing “restaurant” as a child in his home, cooking for his parents. Today, Volker Mehl is a bestselling author and Yin Yoga teacher. He has written 13 books, with 2 more underway, and has twice won the Gourmand World Cookbook Award in the “Best Indian Cuisine in Germany” category. His book, co-authored with well-known Dr. Dietrich Grönemeyer, quickly became a Spiegel bestseller.

Volker Mehl is in the press, on the radio, TV and Internet, and after many trips and eventful years abroad, he has now returned to his South Hessian home. Together with his wife Anke Pachauer, who is also an author and Yoga teacher, he runs a cooking school and Ayurveda academy in Heppenheim as well as an Ayurveda restaurant in Reichelsheim in the Odenwald.

In his free time, Volker relaxes in nature, taking long walks in the forest, preferably with Anke and their Irish pony Fionn.

In November 2022, Volker launched a unique Germany-wide pilot project in cooperation with the Emmaus Hospice in St. Wendel. It integrates the concept of Ayurveda into both meal preparation and patient care. Twice a week, Volker cooks on site for the guests and takes the time to train the nursing staff in Ayurveda. In addition to the project in St. Wendel, Volker devotes himself to the “Nestwärme” outpatient children’s hospice in Trier. This work is particularly near and dear to him, as his father’s cancer diagnosis in 1990 and subsequent death in 2001 were key moments for him on his personal Ayurveda journey. With his work in these institutions, he seeks to contribute to enhancing the lives of critically ill people and to introduce the concept of Ayurveda in areas he believes are essential.

That’s not all we admire about Volker; we also appreciate how he loves and breathes Ayurveda, and the way he so easily conveys Ayurveda to people in his cheerful, relaxed and down-to-earth manner.

You can look forward to cooking with Volker Mehl on 13 May at our big Ayurveda Health & Wellness Day.

We were able to land Aurel Christ as the charming moderator for our big Ayurveda Health & Wellness Day

Aurel will guide you through the whole day. An Ayurveda practitioner at the Maharishi Ayurveda Private Clinic in Bad Ems and the son of Dr. Karin Pric, he has been intimately familiar with Ayurveda since childhood. Aurel Christ is a medical doctor and has a master’s degree in ayurvedic medicine. He comes with great international medical experience and is really looking forward to meeting you all.

Experience the healing sounds of Ayurveda – live!

Having Reshma Shrivastava – one of the most famous Gandharva Veda musicians – come to our Ayurveda Health & Wellness Day is a big win for us.

Guided by her father and uncle, Reshma Shrivastava began her lifelong musical journey at the tender age of six. She completed her traditional music training at the prestigious University of Allahabad, in India. She has been a presence on Indian and international stages for over four decades now and is also known on All India Radio, and television. Reshma Shrivastava has received numerous prestigious awards and has been honoured by respected institutions.

Reshma will be playing the best-known Indian string instrument – the sitar – for you, and she will be accompanied by the tampura and tabla, both traditional accompanying instruments.

Nature’s invisible vibrations and changing rhythms are expressed in the melodies of Gandharva-Veda. This traditional knowledge of thousands of years of classical music was originally “seen” by Vedic seers (rishis) in the stillness of their own infinite consciousness. The knowledge was traditionally passed on orally from father to son or from teacher to student. We owe the existence of the few remaining schools to this authentic tradition.
