Yoga Vacation Program
April 25 — 27, 2026

Stop Bubble Wrapping Your Diet

Perfect Your Health and Digestion with Ayurveda

Dr. John Douillard

For decades, we have been told to stop eating wheat and dairy. That list has grown to include unprocessed rice, beans, grains, lectins, oxalates, phytic acids, nightshades and many more food groups that have been consumed by our ancestors for hundreds of thousands of years. Today 74% of the American population complain of digestive issues and 70% are either overweight or obese. Heart disease, cancers, mental health and cognitive issues are all on the rise, even with our young people, and it all starts in the digestive system.

Of course we should stop eating foods that make us feel bad but how do we fix the cause which is a broken down digestive system? You will learn how to repair your digestion by “eating it all” as long as it is unprocessed, preferably organic and more seasonal. Our microbiome was designed to change seasonally just like the microbes on the food and soil change with each season. Studies now link seasonal microbes on your food to optimal health, immunity and longevity–and you won’t believe how simple it is to inoculate your gut with the right microbes for each season with a few seasonal foods.

In this program, John will also teach you how to get your diaphragm working again as many studies link specific diaphragmatic exercises to reversing some of the most common digestion, cardiovascular, sleep, joint and cognitive concerns.

You Will Learn:

  • How to Sync Your Biological Clocks with Nature’s Circadian Rhythms.
  • How to Change Your Diet Seasonally with Simple Grocery Lists for Each Season.
  • The Super Foods for Each Season and Continue to Enjoy the Foods You Love.
  • Breathing Exercises to Restore the Function of Your Diaphragm and Begin the Process of Healing Your Digestion, Mind and Body.

Offered as 3 satsangs and 1 workshop (subject to change).

The presentations associated with this Yoga Vacation Program begin with an 8pm satsang on the first day of the program and conclude with a 6am satsang on the last day of the program.  Click here to read more about the Yoga Vacation Program details and view the ashram schedule for yoga classes and meals during your stay.
