Ayurveda Cooking Weekends
Upcoming dates: 21-22 March 2026
Hosted at The Mindful Kitchen headquarters in Hebden Bridge (West Yorkshire), these wholesome, hands-on weekends are designed to inspire and empower you in the kitchen - perfect for anyone curious about Ayurvedic cooking but unsure where to begin.
Ayurveda offers us guidance for nutrition, lifestyle, and living well. It’s the oldest healing system in the world, yet its principles are unchanging and remain highly relevant today. During our weekend together we will learn to apply the basics of Ayurvedic nutrition and how to create simple meals that you can easily recreate in your kitchen at home.
If you’re seeking inspiration, tools and practical guidance to bring more nourishment into your life, this weekend is for you.
What to expect…
-
Saturday & Sunday 9.30am-4.30pm
(with a two-hour break each day to explore the town or enjoy downtime) -
Simple Ayurvedic breakfasts, lunches, dinners, snacks, and digestive remedies. We’ll enjoy two meals a day, plus snacks & drinks.
The food will be organic, sourced locally and from ethical suppliers, and mostly plant-based (with the exception of ghee).
-
Learn practical cooking skills and how to stock your pantry with essential spices and ingredients, and discover easy recipes and nutrition tips to take into everyday life.
-
Learn how to recognise the signs of imbalance (unique to everyone), and how to bring daily balance with diet and lifestyle.
-
Connect and learn from in-depth time with Bex from The Mindful Kitchen and in community with others on their cooking and wellbeing journey.
“A great few days with like minded people. I learnt so much with easy learning takeaways. The food was amazing with easy hacks to implement into your daily life. I feel rejuvenated and ready to take on the new year with new skills. Thank you so much!” Catherine, Workshop Participant
“A wonderful introduction to Ayurvedic living and cooking. Bex managed all levels of understanding perfectly, the environment was welcoming, the scene perfectly set with background music, scents of incense and spices. The learning was fascinating, so many things fell into place. The food was delicious and plentiful and exciting to make and there is something very special about sharing preparation and then eating with a group of like minded people, I highly recommended to anyone with an interest in improving your life and health.” Louise, Workshop Participant

Accommodation is not included - if you’re joining from further afield, I’m happy to recommend lovely local places to stay. I can also put you in touch with other participants if you would like to arrange accommodation together.
There are a maximum of 6 places available. With such a small number, we’ll have a wonderful chance to get to know each other and bring a more personalised approach to your experience.
