Ayurveda & Yoga Nidra Retreat October 5th - 19th 2024
5-min. Discovery Call w/ChitraNamaste,
Join me for a 14-day Ayurveda | Yoga Nidra Retreat in Kerala, IndiaÂ
The next all-inclusive retreat will take place October 5th - 19th 2024.
I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be going to India again in 2024! For those who missed out on the last retreat, this is your chance to join me. The previous retreat was a sold-out success and everyone had an amazing time. Over the past 5 years, I have been traveling to India for Panchakarma/detox, relaxation, and rejuvenation, and I can confidently say that Kerala is the place to be!
For this retreat, you have two options to choose from. The first option is a 14-day Panchakarma program, which includes an Ayurvedic doctor overseeing your detox, and the second option is a 10-day rejuvenation program with 4 days of sightseeing. I understand that some of you may want to explore India while you're there, hence the two choices. Both options are guaranteed to be life-changing!
For those who choose the Ayurveda/sightseeing package, you will receive 10 days of Ayurvedic rejuvenation treatments, yoga classes, and evening sessions of Wisdom talks/Yoga Nidra with Chitra Sukhu. Additionally, you will have 4 days to explore the surrounding sights or simply relax and enjoy the retreat space.
On the other hand, if you opt for the 14-day Panchakarma, you will receive all the aforementioned benefits, except the sightseeing. Instead, you will follow a treatment program tailored to suit your individual needs.
This retreat is perfect for anyone seeking an authentic Ayurvedic experience in the heart of Ayurveda itself. Kerala is renowned for its unbroken tradition and scientific approach to Ayurvedic treatment. People from all over the world come here to experience its wonders. Having personally experienced it myself, I can vouch for its authenticity. That's why I'm incredibly excited to offer this opportunity to all of you!
*If you're not sure which package to choose, or need more information, please feel free to set up a 5-min. Discovery Call.
