RESET & REJUVENATE
उपक्रम्यस्य हि द्वित्वाद्विघैवोपक्रमोः । अकः सन्तर्पणस्तत्र द्वितीयश्वापतर्पणः ।। १ ।।
“Upakrama (treatment) is of two types because of the dual nature of upakramya (imbalance or dōṣās). One is santarpaṇa (addition therapy) and the other is apatarpaṇa (reduction therapy).”
AH SŪ 14:1
WELLNESS ESCAPES
Immerse & Recharge
Short āyurveda retreats are the perfect opportunity to deepen and accelerate a rebalancing śamana process.
All Escapes are start with a zoom session to design daily tailored Ayurveda treatments over the course of 3-4 days. Expect 2-3 hours of treatments per day, as well as optional breathwork, yoga, excursions and cooking classes (offered in a group setting only). Our short retreats usually run from Monday through Wednesday or Thursday (3 nights on site) Limited to 2-4 participants per retreat.
Please note that Wellness Escapes are not Pañca Karma Treatments, rather they are a wonderful way to discover adapted Āyurveda Treatments in a relaxed setting and a perfect short get-away.

“Śōdhana (purification therapy) is that which expels the dōṣās (the corrupted dōṣās) out of the body.”
AH SŪ 14:5
PAÑCA KARMA
Cleanse. Reset. Rejuvenate.
In classical Āyurveda and according to Caraka, the purification therapies are limited to five specific śōdhana karmas (treatments):
- Vamana (to cleanse and reset the upper body)
- Virecana (to cleanse and reset the digestive system and rakta systemically)
- Śirovirecana (to reset the supra clavicular region)
- Niruhana basti (to reset all vāta systems)
- Anuvāsana basti (to nourrish vāta systems)
Some authors such as Vāgbhaṭa include Raktamokṣa (therapeutic bloodletting) in lieu of anuvasana, because the latter is considered not strictly cleansing.
Śōdhana cikitsa treatments are considered superior to śamana because they have the potential to fully eradicate metabolic waste and excessive, vitiated dōṣās. Classically only carried out one by one during indicated seasons, they are generally preceded by pūrva karma (preparatory measures, generally a series of abhyanga and steam or other more tailored treatments) and followed by paścāta karma (after-measures), which notably include saṁsarjana krama (a specific dietary regimen), rasayanādi karma (rejuvenation and/or aphrodisiac, fertility protocol, as may be needed) and a tailored śamana protocol, if still necessary.
All our pañca karma retreats are unique and implemented as classically as possible. As pañca karma treatments require a body free of toxins, our protocols generally start with a guided home-detoxification with a restricted diet and other relevant recommendations. During the retreat, clients will receive about 2 to 3 tailored body treatments per day and will be coached throughout the whole process.
PK Retreats generally start on Monday morning (check-in) until the following Sunday (check-out) with 7 nights on site (ideally arriving Sunday evening). We also offer seasonal group retreats in select locations in Europe.
To get started please book an initial consultation with us. If you are eligible for Pañca Karma, you will be invited to further work with Jayada 1:1 to create and prepare your PK journey. In addition, you may join our Group PK Coaching Program which runs over 6 months and will allow you to tap into the support of a dynamic PK community.
Our next Group Panca Karma retreat Coaching Program starts in January 2025.

I went for a 6 day pancha karma treatment and it was life changing. I lost 15 pounds and made huge improvements on my life-long issues with allergies. I left feeling physically better than ever.

WHAT OUR PANCA KARMA CLIENTS SAY
Il y a quelques mois j’ai décidé d’essayer l Ayurveda pour des problèmes de peau et hormonaux, Jayada après m’avoir reçu longuement m’a proposé de faire une cure Panchakarma. J’ai accepté et j’ai donc décidé de suivre ses recommandations.
Suite à la cure, les problèmes de peau ont disparus, ainsi que mes problèmes hormonaux, qui étaient très handicapants…
Je ne peux que la remercier ! Je n’avais jamais fait appel à l Ayurveda avant et aujourd’hui, je ne peux plus m’en passer que ce soit dans mon alimentation, dans la cuisson de mes aliments, dans les plantes et les épices que je prends au quotidien.

WHAT OUR PANCA KARMA CLIENTS SAY
Jayada is a very experienced Ayurvedic practitioner. I did a week long intense PanchaKarma with her. It was life changing. She is very skilled in massage and other aspects of Ayurveda also. If you want only a massage, you won't find better than Jayada. If you want deeper or longer treatment, she can provide that as well.
She is kind, compassionate and skillful. She works very hard and knows what she is doing.

WHAT OUR WELLNESS ESCAPE CLIENTS SAY
J’ai fait une cure de trois jours avec Jayada et son équipe. J’étais épuisée physiquement et psychologiquement. Jayada, avec douceur et une bienveillance constante, m’a prodiguée des soins d’une qualité incomparable qui m’ont apporté un véritable mieux être. Sa connaissance pointue de l’ayurveda et du sanskrit lui confère une expertise rare et un professionnalisme exemplaire. Elle a su me guider, me conseiller et m’accompagner. Chaque soin est prodigué avec une maitrise parfaite. La cure a été vraiment personnalisée selon mes besoins. On peut se laisser aller en toute confiance.
Je n’étais plus la même après ma cure. Je vais suivre une nouvelle cure à l’automne et je n’envisage pas une seule seconde que ce ne soit pas piloté par Jayada!
