Sattvic Food & Nutrition

During your time at the Ayurveda retreat, you'll be eating 'Sattvic' meals to help create a sense of clarity, balance and healing from within. Food is considered not only as sustenance, but also as an essential component of the healing process.

You will be provided with three vegetarian meals a day, freshly prepared using seasonal and locally-sourced ingredients. Meals are light yet digestible, and individually customised where appropriate to your Ayurvedic constitution (dosha) and treatment.

The retreat kitchen is free from processed foods, overstimulating herbs and spices (hence clearing our palates without stimulation), additives and stimulants. Meals are instead focused on tasting their natural flavours, providing them with balanced nutrients, and aiding in easily digesting the food you eat so your body can work to naturally heal and cleanse.

You receive special dietary modifications as and when they are necessary according to the consultation by an Ayurveda doctor.

Pros of a Sattvic Diet for Physical Well-being

An Inclusion of a Sattvic Diet. While enjoying your detox retreat, by treating yourself to a Sattvic diet, you're nourished with more than just physical food and feeling complete access to serene energy, mental clarity and perfect balance. This diet is in line with the principles of Ayurveda and yogic tradition and emphasises both purity and simplicity, causing harmony according to nature’s rhythm, which is only going to multiply your healing on all dimensions.

Through consuming light, fresh and moderate food, you will help yourself along the path to detoxification and be able to achieve reasonable digestion as well as relax your mind - all supporting factors for a responsible practice of Kundalini Yoga.

Key Benefits You’ll Experience:

Improved Digestion & Gut Health
That’s change you can see and feel! Our meals are quick to digest, which means increased metabolism, decreased bloating, and optimum nutrient absorption.
Increased Energy Without Stimulation
You'll experience consistent, natural energy that lasts all day long — without caffeine, sugar or heavy, greasy meals weighing you down.
Mental Clarity & Calmness
Sattvic food supports a steady and calm mind, allowing you to be more present, aware and emotionally balanced.
Balanced Emotions
By steering clear of spicy, processed or oily foods, the Sattvic diet minimises mood swings and encourages emotional balance.
Enhanced Sleep Quality
A light, nourishing evening meal helps your body relax naturally, so it’s easier to get to sleep and stay asleep.
Support for Inner Healing
Fresh, plant-based foods make for an optimal conduit to help Ayurvedic therapies do their job better, which ultimately helps your body reset and heal.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an Ayurveda retreat in India cost?−

The price for an India-based Ayurvedic retreat is variable according to stay length, treatments and accommodation standard. At Mrityunjay Yogpeeth, rates are around $1200 and up for a 3-day stay (depending on room choice), and higher for longer periods or advanced treatments such as Panchakarma. Personal retreats and long-stay programs are also available at competitive rates (inclusive of full board, Ayurvedic treatments, and consultations with the doctors).

What is an Ayurvedic retreat?+

An Ayurvedic retreat is a health and well-being program following the principles of Ayurveda, done to bring your body, mind and emotions back into balance. Usually, this comes with individualised consultations and an array of Ayurvedic remedies (think Abhyanga and Panchakarma), sattvic meals, herbal upgrades for all the things you need support with at present—lifestyle routines to keep you balanced in your longevity quest, and even applied practices like breath work, rest practices, a responsive daily routine that is aligned with natural rhythms.

What is the golden principle of Ayurveda?+

The golden Ayurvedic rule: “Health is balance.” According to Ayurveda, when your body, mind and spirit are in balance with the universe, you are in good health, and it teaches that this balance can be easily maintained through natural habits. This balance is attained by the right diet, lifestyle, sensitivity to our emotions and being in tune with nature’s cycles.

How long does it take to undergo Ayurveda Panchakarma?+

A complete Panchakarma takes at least 14 to 21 days, and the longer schedule is definitely recommended for most patients. This includes pre-detoxification or Purvakarma, the main detox process (Pradhanakarma) and post-treatment recovery or Paschatkarma. Reduced lengths might be available, but fuller benefits can only be obtained with extended durations.

How long does an Ayurveda retreat last?+

The ideal length of an Ayurveda retreat is 14-28 days, providing enough time to not only observe differences in digestion, energy, stress levels and overall balance, but also allows a good period for the beneficial effects of the treatment to promote greater long-term healing.
