Ayurveda Cooking Weekend
Saturday 10th & Sunday 11th January 2026
Start the new year with a wholesome weekend of Ayurvedic cooking and self-care. Hosted at The Mindful Kitchen headquarters in Hebden Bridge (West Yorkshire), these two days of hands-on workshops are designed to inspire, reset 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 is the oldest healing system in the world, yet its principles are unchanging and remain highly relevant today. During our weekend together we will learn a few basics of Ayurvedic nutrition and 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.
