Hello to everyone at the Retreat! I am happy to be home but missing being there very much as well. All is well with me back in Florida. I got a job working with an Ayurvedic Practitioner who does panch karma treatments, he has a little retreat and yoga center, so I am doing massage and teaching yoga classes. It feels very good.

I chose the this Ayurveda Retreat to be treated for several alignments and was in no way disappointed about my stay here. The staff and management are excellent. So are the treatments, food and classes offered. All this in one of the most beautiful settings I have seen during my time in India, with pleasant climate and fresh air. I wish I had the time to stay for 21 days in order to receive the full benefit from the treatment. I can thoroughly recommend the Retreat and plan to return in the future.

Best Regards

I came here for a short time to relax and rejuvenate .This place fosters a warm and comfortable environment where I was able to clear my mind and negative thoughts. Got rested, learnt yoga, meditated and make great friends. I look forward to returning in the future with my mother next time. Its nice to know a place like this exists, will always invite me home.

Warm Regards,

For the past 5 months since a family tragedy, my mind has been unable to relax and enjoy my surroundings. After just 1 week at the Ayurveda Retreat, I feel myself calmer and less anxious..... The fellow guests could not be more inviting and friendly and the surroundings could not be more serene and spectacular. I arrived a bit of a skeptic, but I leave as a firm believer, relaxed, Calm and flexible.

A thousand Thanks.

2 weeks of treatment made me so happy which I never felt this good before. After I lost my husband 5 months ago, I am physically,mentally and spiritually ALIVE again. Rekhaben and her husband, both are extremely kind, generous, considerate and helpful. Staff is also goes out of their way and help. This is the place to relax, enjoy and get better through Ayurveda treatments.

Thank you very much for everything.

First Rate Ayurveda and Yoga Retreat. The sense of peace and well being that I felt here is incredible. The staff is 1st rate and everyone does their best to accommodate the guest. I am leaving not only healthier, but happier as well. Would definitely return.

My very best,

I have stayed at the Retreat twice and am planning to return for my third visit in April of this year. The Ayurvedic Retreat is one of my favorite places in the world. I go there to relax, detoxify, and rejuvenate from the stress of western life. During my visits to the Retreat I have met some very lovely people from all over the globe including locals.

A typical day at the retreat begins at 06:00 with the delivery of any personalized tonic suggested by the resident ayurvedic physician. The 90-minute Yoga class begins at 06:30 (this provides a spiritual experience for me because it seems that the sun salutations are (somehow) perfectly timed with the sunrise). Following yoga, there is approximately an hour of 'free-time' which can be spent taking a mile hike to provide food for the monkeys or simply just being. Meals are served 'family style' and in the lovely tea garden. The food is superb with a varied menu (Mohanji and Chagganji are 'master' chefs). The day's highlight (for me) is the personalized ayurvedic treatment scheduled by the physician and his staff and is usually 1-2 hours long. Treatments are given in complete privacy by specially trained female staff and usually consist of synchronized massages with personalized oils. Massages/treatments are followed by an herbal bath. Yoga is given at 12:00 and at 16:30. Daily Guided meditation classes are usually and hour long beginning at 18:00. Dinner concludes the day.

One of the fabulous aspects of this sanctuary is you may be as engaged or un-engaged in the varied pre-planned activities as you wish depending on your goals. It has been my experience that Rehka, Kantilal, and their wonderful staff work very hard to make the guest's experience as wonderfully stress-free and memorable as possible.

Ultimately however the derived experience is the individual's responsibility. If one goes there with preconceptions such as expectation of a 5-star resort atmosphere you will be disappointed. Conversely, if the traveler (not tourist) goes with an open mind, a kind tongue, and willing heart - I would think it would be very difficult not to benefit immensely from a visit to this amazing place.

With kind regards,
Namaste,
Sandra

Reading this I hope will convince you, without question, to come to this wonderful place of rest and rejuvenation. Simply trust, be willing to let go and allow the angels that work here, to help you on your unique path to perfect health, in body, mind and spirit. India is indeed God's country, but the Ayurveda Retreat Hospital is God's home, nestled in a perfect mountain side spot close to heaven.

I have had a truly incredible time here and have felt so welcome and like part of a family. The staff make this place what it is. Everyone is, without exception, respectful, polite and ready to greet you with a big smile each day. This is my first experience among truly authentic Indian people who radiate such love and kindness, which in itself reflects where you are in your own life.......a teaching for us all.

My treatment programme was superb and the beautiful girls who administered the massages were impeccable and oh so sweet and kind... felt like a queen every day ! I had access to the Ayurvedic doctors at any time and could tell them anything and always received knowledgeable and friendly advise and help.

Meal times were always very sociable and the food is yum....always varied and delicious and the waiters (Chhagan and Siteram) are so attentive and full of fun. Both great guys ! I soaked up so much knowledge from fellow guests and had great conversations every day and am heart warmed to mention that I have made some life long friends. We laughed and cried together, went for long walks and watched the sun set over the mountains and oh we shopped until we dropped, which was always a source of mild hysteria on returning to the retreat as everyone wanted to see each other's purchases !

So I leave with a true temple for a body, a vegetarian diet and a wealth of wonderful experiences that will take me months to happily reflect upon.

My advise to you is... ....open your heart and let this place feed your soul.....you can find only happiness and peace waiting for you.

Love

Hello everyone a bit less than 36 weeks and a fairly big belly later our little girl has arrived! Despite being almost 4 weeks early Mia-Sophie is as healthy and fit as a newborn could be. She weighed 2320 g (5.1 pounds), is 45 cm long and simply couldnt wait to discover the world. Thanks to Ayurveda and lots of Yoga pregnancy and delivery were an easy and beautiful experience :-) I hope you are all well and enjoy life as much as we do! .

Love
Petra, Andrew and Mia

Hello, I am very happy with the results of 5 weeks of ayurvedic treatment that I had last September-October. I saw the doctor every day and had ayurvedic medicines six times a day. I had morning massage and treatments for specific problems for a half hour almost every afternoon and I saw another doctor for reflexology and acupressure every other day all for one price. I am happy to report the following improvement in my health: My blood is well within normal range with only two medications instead of three. My resting pulse ranges between 60 and 70 instead of the previous 80 to 90 beats per minute. I lost 13.2 pounds while there and maintained that loss through the Christmas holidays and continue to drop additional weight slowly.

My shoulder pain is gone and I have regained full range of motion in that arm. I no longer have a problem of urinary retention. Leg pains are gone and I have an increase of flexibility. I just got the results of my annual blood-work and I am very happy to report that everything is well within normal range. My blood lipids have improved greatly. My doctor is impressed with the changes. My stay with you was very enjoyable. The scenery was spectacular, the staff with very attentive and caring, the food was good and I am enjoying cooking some of the recipes. I felt very pampered during my stay and the results are long lasting.

Thank you.

My Ayurvada & Yoga Retreat Experience

I came here on trust & faith not knowing anything about the retreat other than the information on the website. Once I arrived I took a deep breath not believing it was real, it is even more beautiful than I had imagined. I checked to see, am I dreaming, am I alive. I connected to nature instantly, I felt I was in paradise I love the garden full of beautiful flowers, plants, the greenery, full of fresh air From there the scenery is so amazing, on the swing for ages I would just sit and stare The trees standing tall on the mountains almost touching the sky Tea plantation all around and I am 3000 feet high

At the silent spot my favourite place, Standing there feeling the suns rays on my face I stood there like a tree Connecting to the part of nature that is me Feeling one with all, the sky, the sun, the flowers & birds My soul celebrating, communicating without words Everywhere I looked mountains I could see, this is a place just to be My soul dancing and singing I’m free Enough space yet surrounded, enveloped by the mountains and trees Feeling on top of the world, clouds floating by My hands nearly touching the sky, Filling my lungs inhaling the crisp fresh air.

Kantilal & Rekha are truly an a amazing pair Who have created this lovely place I know they will say it’s all with God’s grace Rejuvenating & refreshing the soul, I came here for treatment for the tumour in my left lung On my first day I knew my healing had begun Environment where I got healing at all levels, mind, body, soul It all depends on the person, what they want, what is their goal The meditations by Senthil are so powerful, his voice, the vibrations so strong Has the chakras spinning OM! Shanti! OM! Chaaganlal, Sita Ram & Mohan the service they provide is so wonderful & homely, The ayurveda food so fresh and light Delicious, Every bite Yum! They provide a menu to suit everyone’s appetite I wish we had doctors like Dr Dulari who listens and who really cares And Vilaas who without fail our medicines he carefully prepares The treatments from two therapists massaging simultaneously, so synchronised I have had lots of massages in the past but this just blew me away, I was surprised   I came here for two weeks, another week I then extended my stay Arrangements were made and I had my way I requested to do a silent retreat for a few days which was fully supported by all The staff & guests who were pillars so I did not fall My experiences have been tremendously enlightening; I would just sit at the silent spot and mediate to the mountains, the sun & the sky.

Now that I’m back in England to face the west With healing from the east, I’m now feeling at my best I’m much calmer and have a deeper knowing Each day spiritually I’m growing True healing retreat created with such love & care For us westerners to heal & share To everyone who was a part of my healing journey, thank you so much Hopefully we will all remain in touch.

Love & Light to all
