Ayurvedic retreats
The Ayurvedic retreat is an exceptional moment, far away from the hustle of daily life; it is truly an appointment with oneself. It is a moment where one finds the knowhow of well being, often forgotten despite its simplicity and discovers the joy and serenity which we lack so much.
It is a complete set of treatments and massages,
given in the most authentic Indian tradition, a true ... "ART OF LIVING"!
Enjoy the senses of life!
The Ayurvedic retreats Ojaskar, Karshan, Kayakalpa, Tejas, Lavanya, Shanti and maternity are all developed from Ayurveda, the traditional Indian science of vital energy to improve and prolong the quality of live. The Ayurvedic retreat draws its inspiration straight from the profound sources of Ayurveda (5000 years old and more) and is certainly more than a simple wellness retreat: a deep resourcing, a complete submergence into the five elements which constitutes the universe and ourselves (Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Ether), a discovery of our underlying nature and a better knowledge of ourselves.

Testimonials
Beautiful place conducive to well-being.
The team of this week was of great quality: warm, available, flexible, attentive, patient, helpful… they have assumed the double responsibility of care and stewardship.
I especially appreciate the “spiritual” and very human approach to care = the notion of trust between us, respect, delicacy and gentleness… so many elements that allowed me to relax not only physically but also subtly.
Being a week in a place where nobody fights and argues is really nice! The absence of aggression is what makes me feel better… the massages as well of course! But the harmony, the good mood of the therapists as well as of the other guests, was a beautiful gift. I am leaving with the beautiful energy that massages provide, will it be sustainable, that’s the question!
But I know there’s a place where I feel good, and doing good, and that's great to know!
My retreat was delicious.
I’m gaining flexibility and energy.
I came to the end of my limit, and I and leaving full of good spirit and energy!
Great presence and quality of the therapists, wonderful setting.
Paradise exists here at Tapovan....there are even apples on the trees!
