The Healing Journey: A Panchakarma Women’s Retreat
Summary
A women-only Panchakarma retreat that combines the rejuvenating effects of yoga with the ancient healing principles of Ayurveda — held in a sacred, unhurried space beside the temples of Khajuraho.
Over seven days you will:
- Restore your natural rhythm with daily guided practice and rest
- Receive personalised Ayurvedic treatments and consultations
- Eat nourishing, dosha-balancing vegetarian meals
- Reconnect with a small circle of women on the same journey
What guests are saying
“The most restorative week of my life. The treatments and the women who held the space were extraordinary.”
“I arrived exhausted and left glowing. The food alone was worth the trip — everything was intentional.”
“Beautifully organised and deeply personal. Dr. Kavya’s consultation changed how I eat at home.”
The experience
Mornings open gently with pranayama and a slow Hatha practice as the temples catch first light. Afternoons are yours — for treatments, rest, or quiet walks through the gardens.
This is not a bootcamp. It is a deliberate slowing down — a week designed around your body’s need to repair.
