SvasthyaRetreats

The Experience

Ayurveda, practice and devotion, woven through each day.

Ayurveda therapies

To feel energised and younger.

Each therapy is chosen for you after your arrival consultation with the retreat physician.

Shirodhara

A slow, steady stream of warm oil across the forehead, deeply settling for the mind.

Abhyangam

A rhythmic full-body massage with warm herbal oils, matched to your constitution.

Udvartana

An invigorating massage with dry herbal powders that leaves the skin awake.

Swedana

Gentle herbal steam that warms and softens the body after oil therapies.

Hrid Basti

Warm medicated oil held within a ring of dough over the chest.

Padabhyanga

Ayurvedic foot care that grounds the body and invites restful sleep.

Nasya

Herbal oil drops for the nasal passages, part of a clear-headed morning.

Yoga & Pranayam

Twice daily, for every body.

Morning and evening practice in small groups, open to all levels. Sequences are shaped for each programme, and breathwork is always gentle and guided.

Contemplative practice

Chakra Healing

A guided journey through the seven energy centres — from Muladhara at the root to Sahasrara at the crown — using breath, bija mantra, sound and stillness. A contemplative practice for inner balance, offered in the tradition of yoga.

Included in every programme: one guided session in three nights, or the full seven-centre sequence across a six-night stay.

Food that energises.

Meals made from organically sourced, seasonal and local produce — freshly cooked, sattvic and vegetarian, designed to energise. Herbal teas are served through the day.

Contemplation

Optional sessions

Available at every retreat — optional, for those who wish.

These sessions are entirely optional and open to all faiths and none.
