21-Day Wellness Retreat at Ayurveda Bhavan

About this retreat

This 21-day, 20-night programme at Ayurveda Bhavan in Rishikesh is a long weight management retreat built on Ayurveda, yoga and a healthy diet. The centre's Ayurveda doctors say they have supported guests from around the world for many decades, and they plan each stay around the individual. The programme includes several Ayurvedic therapies over the weeks, such as Udvarthana (herbal powder massage) and Panchakarma sessions, guided by the doctor. Daily yoga and meditation, pranayama and Agni Deepana (spicing meals with turmeric, cumin and ginger) are part of the routine, along with simple, healthy meals. It is meant to help guests set up habits for the long term. Please speak with your doctor and with the centre first, particularly if you are under medical care.
