Ayurveda, Yoga, and Meditation

Ayurvedic Massages and Treatments

Ayurveda is a complete approach to the art of living which teaches how to establish a harmonious and balanced life. It includes diet, yoga, and meditation, and advises the use of herbal preparations and therapeutic massage with medicinal oils.

Your Ayurveda experience during this program includes lessons by our Ananda tour guides on Yogananda’s rejuvenating techniques of energization, meditation and healing by prana.

Also available is an Indian doctor who will teach the basic principles of Ayurveda, help you to understand and work with your doshas, and give you helpful advice on how to get the most benefit from the massages and the Ayurvedic meals. Many of the herbs used in the oils are grown on the property, and many of the oils are prepared in the resort’s own laboratory.

The package this year includes 5 rejuvenating massages (90 min each) and one Shiradhara. Besides these massages one can add as many different types of massages as one wants, and this can be determined when we arrive at the resort.

The Ayurvedic clinic is under the direction of Doctor Raman, professor of Ayurvedic medicine, Sanskrit scholar, and an Ayurvedic practitioner for more than 40 years. His staff of twelve doctors are all university graduates with a B.A.M.S. degree (Doctor of Ayurvedic Medicine). The 70 massage therapists (women for women, men for men) are highly skilled and they often come from generations of Ayurvedic therapists who are thoroughly trained at the clinic’s massage school. The therapy rooms are charming Keralan-style round cottages with thatched roof.

The restaurant prepares delicious meals which are suitable for all body types (doshas). In addition, they specially prepare meals that have been suggested by the doctors for each person.
