  |  Couples retreats at 
      Rasayana Cove are customized to meet your needs. Experience Ayurveda in a 
      beautiful natural setting.
 
 
  Couples retreats offer an opportunity to enjoy a slower pace with comfort 
      and rest while delighting in the sights and sounds of a beautiful natural 
      setting. Rasayana Cove is located in central Florida amid cattle ranches 
      and orange groves. The retreat property borders wilderness Horse Creek 
      where we sometimes see deer, wild turkey, many water birds, and playful otters. Since there are no 
      neighbors on 3 sides of the property the night skies are brilliant with stars. 
 We co-create with you a customized program that will address both of your 
      health needs. All your Ayurvedic treatments are performed in a private 
      treatment room located inside the couples cabin. Our massage oils are of 
      the highest quality, prepared by Ayurvedic doctors in herbal pharmacies in Kerala, India. Here at Rasayana Cove we specialize in 
      traditional methods of presenting each treatment program. Whereas the 
      American spa industry has incorporated Ayurvedic treatments for a fast 
      paced culture, we ask clients to set aside time for their healing journey 
      to experience authentic Ayurveda and to receive lasting results.
 
 Since we do not receive more than one couple and one single person at any 
      one time we can offer personalized attention to our clients. This allows an 
      opportunity to learn details about your Ayurvedic constitution and acquire 
      the knowledge of cooking for you and your partner's specific health needs. 
      Each day the noon dinner is shared in the main house and there is time to 
      speak about Ayurveda as it applies to your family. Breakfasts are 
      delivered to your cabin where you can rest in bed if you wish. Evening 
      meals are enjoyed in the privacy of your cabin on the hand hewn mahogany 
      table. The cabin includes a fridge, stove top to prepare teas, and a 
      porcelain sink.
 
 We welcome the opportunity to receive couples wanting to renew their 
      relationship. The presence of an abiding Spirit in the woods and waterways, and a ritual 
      at the sacred fire place acts to create a memorable sharing for a couple 
      seeking to revitalize their union.
 
 Julia and Dinesh Mader have been practicing Ayurveda in Florida since 1994 
      and prior to that time they hosted wilderness retreats with Dr. Robert 
      Svoboda teaching Ayurveda in the pristine nature of Canada. Julia lived 8 
      years in India during her 20's learning the Yogic and Ayurvedic art of 
      living with health. She cooks with ease to create delicious curries and 
      enjoys teaching the use of spices to enhance taste and assimilation of 
      nutrients. Dinesh Mader is a graduate of Dr. Lad's Ayurvedic college and 
      has completed training in India at the Ayurvedic College in Coimbatore, 
      Tamil Nadu. Both are committed to assisting the transition of Ayurveda 
      from India's culture to North America while retaining the authenticity of 
      the rasayana treatment programs.
