Morning Bliss:
Wake up to Nature's Symphony: As the sun gently rises, guests at the Pancha Karma retreat wake up to the soothing sounds of nature. The retreat space, surrounded by lush greenery, offers a tranquil environment for connecting with the elements.
Healing Breakfast Soup: Begin the day with a nourishing breakfast soup crafted from locally sourced vegetables. This healing concoction sets the tone for a day dedicated to wellness and restoration.
Sauna or Warm Bath Ritual: Prepare the body and mind for the day's treatments by indulging in a rejuvenating sauna or a warm bath. This therapeutic practice helps to relax muscles, open pores, and create a receptive space for the healing therapies that lie ahead.
Morning Treatments:
Lymphatic Body Work with Pindha Boluses or Netra Basti: The morning unfolds with a blissful session of Ayurvedic treatments. Guests may experience the gentle strokes of lymphatic body work with Pindha Boluses, promoting detoxification and rejuvenation. Alternatively, the soothing Netra Basti, focusing on the eyes, offers relief from eye strain and promotes ocular health.
Rejuvenating Lunch: Following the morning treatments, savor a rejuvenating lunch featuring freshly prepared quinoa, vibrant veggies, pesto, and hummus. The carefully curated menu aligns with Ayurvedic principles to nourish the body and support optimal well-being.
Afternoon Bliss:
Shirodhara or Kati Basti: In the afternoon, guests indulge in a second session of Ayurvedic bliss, choosing between the serene flow of Shirodhara, where warm oil is gently poured over the forehead, or the comforting warmth of Kati Basti, a treatment focused on the lower back. Both treatments offer deep relaxation and targeted support for specific areas of the body.
Free Time for Relaxation: The remainder of the day is dedicated to personal relaxation and self-care. Guests can take leisurely walks in the natural surroundings, immerse themselves in a good book, or journal their reflections. The serene ambiance invites tranquility and introspection.
Evening Harmony:
Sauna and Reflective Time: As the day gently transitions into evening, guests may opt for another sauna session, further enhancing the detoxification process. This time offers an opportunity for reflection and integration of the day's healing experiences.
