The Practice

Five Thousand Years of Listening to the Body

Meditation and mindfulness practice at VEDA Ayurvedic Wellness among the golden vineyards of Borgo Isolabella in Loazzolo, Piemonte

Among the vineyards of Loazzolo — where Piemonte's own culture of slowness, season, and sensory attentiveness has been practised for centuries — Poonam Verma brings 20 years of Ayurvedic practice from India.

The result is something that doesn't exist anywhere else in Europe: a place where the science of life in balance meets a landscape that has always known, instinctively, what balance looks like.

Shirodhara. Abhyanga. Dosha orientation. Swedana. Seasonal packages. Day sessions, Ayurvedic retreats, and multi-day immersions.

Ayurveda — the Sanskrit science of life — spent five thousand years observing a simple truth: that paying attention to our habits, surroundings, and daily rhythms can shape how we experience wellbeing.

At VEDA, every session begins with that listening. Not a fixed protocol, but a conversation between Poonam's 20 years of practice and the person in front of her.

The Three Doshas

According to Ayurveda, each person is unique, composed of a distinct combination of the five elements — ether, air, fire, water, and earth. These elements combine into three fundamental energies called doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.

In Ayurveda, dosha is a traditional framework describing qualities and patterns. At VEDA, it is used as a gentle orientation tool for exploring the kind of wellness experience you prefer.

No two sessions at VEDA are alike. Because no two constitutions are.

🌬️

Vata

Air & Ether — Movement, creativity, vitality

🔥

Pitta

Fire & Water — Digestion, intellect, drive

🌱

Kapha

Earth & Water — Stability, strength, calm

Treatments

Seasonal Practices & Classical Treatments

Each treatment is selected and calibrated to your constitution, the current season, and what your body is telling Poonam in that session. No shortcuts, only traditional techniques and herb-infused oils prepared in the Ayurvedic manner.

Every Ayurvedic massage and wellness experience in Piedmont — including Abhyanga massage and Shirodhara — is available as a single day session or as part of a multi-day Ayurvedic retreat.

The Practitioner

Poonam Verma

Poonam Verma, Ayurvedic wellness practitioner at VEDA Ayurvedic Wellness in Loazzolo, Piemonte, Italy
Ayurvedic Wellness Practitioner

Poonam Verma is an Ayurvedic wellness practitioner based at VEDA in Loazzolo, Piemonte. She completed a BAMS degree in India and has more than 20 years of experience with traditional Ayurvedic wellness practices, including training in Panchakarma techniques.

She came to the hills of Piemonte and found, in the landscape around Loazzolo, something she recognised: a culture that had arrived at many of the same conclusions about slowness, seasonality, and the intelligence of the land. VEDA is what happened when those two traditions began their conversation.

In Italy, Poonam practises as an Ayurvedic wellness practitioner. Each session begins with a relaxed orientation conversation about your preferences, the season, and the experience you are looking for. She works with herb-infused oils, classical techniques, and the particular attention that comes from two decades of practice.

Training & Background

  • BAMS qualification completed in India
  • Training in Panchakarma techniques (part of her studies)
  • Herbal preparation & oil infusion expertise
  • 20 years of experience with traditional Ayurvedic wellness practices

Note: Ayurvedic wellness practices are complementary and not a substitute for medical care. Poonam's BAMS qualification was completed in India; in Italy, she practises as a wellness facilitator using traditional Ayurvedic techniques.
