Tulsi Ayurveda Center at Stift Gurk

Holistic balance for body, mind and soul

A romantic monastery in the Gurktal valley in Carinthia and an Indian healing art that is thousands of years old:
The Tulsi Ayurveda Center in the JUFA Hotel Stift Gurk**** perfectly combines both worlds from the West and the East.

Carinthia’s first authentic Ayurveda hotel is located right next to the historic Gurk Cathedral: a true place of power, embedded in the fresh nature of the Gurk Valley. In the unique, spiritual ambience of the former monastery complex with its baroque buildings and fragrant herb garden, you will experience a soothing atmosphere of peace and meditation.

Therapists trained in India provide professional, individually tailored massages and treatments that balance your life energies according to Ayurvedic teachings. Enjoyable Ayurvedic nutrition completes your cure in Gurk and brings renewal, balance and fresh energy.

What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda – the ‘knowledge of life’ – is a traditional Indian art of healing that is over 5,000 years old and helps to keep body, mind and soul in balance. As a holistic method, it is based on a complete natural system that depends on the diagnosis of the three doshas (vital energies) – Vata, Pitta and Kapha – in order to achieve the right balance.

The central principle of Ayurveda
Every person is unique: they have their own individual constitution with a genetic predisposition to certain diseases and their own spiritual make-up. Ayurveda treatments balance the three energies, they reduce Kapha and calm Vata and Pitta.

Tulsi, the “holy basil”, is used as a balancing elixir of life for this purpose – and gives its name to our Ayurveda center.

An imbalance manifests itself in various symptoms of illness on a physical and/or mental-spiritual level. Ayurveda is also preventative and offers a variety of treatments for rejuvenation, cleansing and relaxation.

After a pulse diagnosis and consultation with an Ayurvedic practitioner, the treatments are individually tailored to the guest.

They teach Ayurveda authentically, the original Ayurveda from Kerala. It reminded me a lot of my training in India and I was able to take away a lot for my own practice.

It’s amazing how much you find yourself here and come to rest. I was incredibly impressed by the combination of regional Carinthian cuisine with Ayurveda cuisine – a culinary delight!

Gudrun LackingerClinical pharmacist

The combination of the cathedral and the Ayurveda centre is very exciting and a huge boost for the Gurktal. In addition to the treatment, you also learn a lot about our local herbs.
