Panchakarma in Varkala
Trivandrum - Varkala
In the south of India, the state of Kerala offers a truly unique setting — the birthplace of Ayurveda, where this ancient wisdom has been rooted for thousands of years. Everything here feels lush, alive, and vibrant: coconut trees swaying gently in the breeze, birds greeting the early morning light, and the Indian Ocean breathing in and out with a steady, soothing rhythm. You’ll see men wearing the lungi, the traditional wrap that seems to dance as they walk, and you’ll feel the simple, authentic softness of life that defines this region.
In Varkala, you will stay in a peaceful retreat slightly away from the small seaside town. The calm atmosphere, the sea air, and the closeness of the ocean create the perfect environment to rest deeply and reconnect with yourself.
In this natural haven, you will experience a 15-day Ayurvedic Panchakarma cure — a profound therapeutic journey designed to rebalance both body and mind. Each day includes personalized massages and treatments tailored to your constitution, along with a light and purifying Ayurvedic diet to support the cleansing and regeneration process. You will also enjoy daily yoga classes, gentle and adapted to the rhythm of the cure, helping the body unwind and guiding you back to yourself.
Throughout your stay, you are accompanied and supported by Célyne, an Ayurvedic therapist who welcomes you with warmth, attentiveness, and expertise. Before the retreat, she will ask you about your imbalances and the aspects of your daily life you wish to improve, so she can offer truly personalized guidance. During the cure, she will meet with you individually to share Ayurvedic recommendations to help you maintain emotional, physical, and mental balance — drawing on the Ayurvedic diagnosis established by the doctor.
Beyond the treatments, you will have plenty of time to enjoy the surroundings: sunrise or sunset walks on the beach, strolls along the cliff overlooking the ocean, a visit to a 2,000-year-old temple nearby, and simple moments of silence, reading, and rest.
A precious pause.
