Join us for a profound journey of cleansing, restoration, and self-alignment through the healing traditions of Ayurveda at an authentic Panchakarma center in Kerala.

Two weeks of deep healing, wisdom & celebration

Slow down, restore your energy, and bring body and mind back into balance with a personalised wellness plan that includes daily nourishing massage, rejuvenating detox treatments, and wholesome, delicious food.

This is an opportunity to experience an ancient system of knowledge that has supported wellbeing for thousands of years. Guided by renowned experts, including the founders of the center and Sadhama, you will explore yoga, diet, and Ayurvedic massage of vital points through both theory and practice.

This experience goes far beyond a standard detox in a clinic.

Alongside deep rest and therapeutic care, you will enjoy a rich cultural program with boat trips, excursions, and activities designed to help you discover the beauty of Kerala and Indian culture while sharing the journey with others.

It is a tailored path to true wellness, created to meet your individual needs.

With support from experienced doctors and highly skilled therapists, you can release stress, worry, and unhealthy habits, letting go of what no longer serves you and returning to a more natural state of wholeness and vitality.

Restore lightness in the body and a renewed sense of youthfulness in the soul.

The retreat group will also be supported by two UK-based Ayurvedic experts, Dmitry and Karen, who will travel with you and host your stay at Pranavam Ayurveda Centre. With specialisms in Ayurvedic Yoga and Ayurvedic Cookery and Diet, they will lead their own workshops alongside Pranavam’s team and remain your main point of contact throughout the retreat.

Each participant will be assigned a personal Ayurvedic doctor for daily guidance and monitoring, along with a consultation with the Chief Physician and founder of the clinic. During this consultation, your doctor will use Ayurvedic methods to assess physical, mental, and emotional imbalances, while also discussing your wellness goals and any health concerns you wish to address.

You will receive a bespoke retreat program with targeted daily treatments, herbal tonics, and therapies. The schedule also includes a daily yoga session led by Dmitry of Sadhama and the Pranavam Ayurveda team, meal and juice breaks, and specialised daily workshops.

This festive season, take time to move more slowly, engage in restorative massage and cleansing practices, and step into the new year feeling fully revived. You are the expert on your own body — here, you will feel heard, understood, and supported in discovering what your body and soul truly need.

Two therapy sessions a day are included.

Accommodation

The retreat takes place at Pranavam Ayurveda, a respected Ayurvedic clinic near Kozhikode town in Kerala, India.

Pranavam Ayurveda Treatment Centre offers diagnosis-led Ayurvedic care focused on spine disorders, chronic conditions, and lifestyle diseases. Drawing on nearly two decades of clinical experience, the center combines classical therapies, Panchakarma, and internally prepared medicines to create structured, individualised treatment plans. Each case is carefully assessed to address root causes, reduce pain and inflammation, and support long-term function and recovery.

Set on the banks of a river, the center offers beautiful views and a warm, comfortable tropical climate throughout the year.

What is Ayurveda Pancha Karma?

Using the time-tested methods of Ayurveda, a system of medicine and healing that has endured for thousands of years, we create a retreat program designed specifically for you, your body, and your wellbeing goals. Gentle yet highly effective, Ayurveda works in harmony with your body’s natural cleansing and detox processes, helping you reconnect with a whole and healed self.

Panchakarma — The Secret of Indian Longevity

The word Panchakarma literally means “five actions” and refers to five therapeutic treatments designed to cleanse the body of accumulated toxins and waste while restoring balance to the three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Based on your personal consultation with the center’s doctors, you will receive a bespoke rejuvenation plan that may include daily oil massage, steam therapy, herbal tonics, and a tailored eating plan, together with yoga, meditation, mindfulness practices, and ample time for rest and relaxation.

Is Panchakarma Right for You?

A Panchakarma cleanse is not only for times when you feel unwell — it is also for anyone ready to reset, heal, return to balance, and feel strong again.

It may be especially relevant if you experience:

Persistent digestive issues: indigestion, bloating, constipation, or loss of appetite
Chronic fatigue or low energy, even with adequate rest
Stress, anxiety, or emotional imbalances that affect your wellbeing
Skin conditions such as acne, eczema, or psoriasis
Weight fluctuations and metabolic imbalances
Joint and muscle pain, including arthritis or stiffness
Weakened immunity, frequent colds, or recurring illnesses
Sleep issues such as insomnia or poor-quality sleep
Respiratory concerns such as allergies, asthma, or chronic sinus congestion

If any of these feel familiar, Panchakarma offers a holistic path back to your natural vitality.

A Change of Place, A Change of Self

Healing often begins when you step away from the environment that shaped your imbalances. Travel can interrupt the mental, emotional, and physical patterns that contribute to disease.

By placing yourself in a serene tropical setting in Kerala, surrounded by healing traditions, nourishing food, and an uplifting community, you create the conditions for a deep reset.

In this retreat, the change of environment plays an essential role:

You step away from everyday stressors and unconscious routines
You allow your nervous system to soften and recalibrate
You open to new, life-supporting habits in rhythm with nature, the sun, and your true self
