Ayurveda Weight Loss Retreat | 21-Day Programme at Shathayu

At Shathayu Ayurveda Retreat, your programme begins with an assessment rather than starting therapies immediately.

Days 1–3: Assessment & Personalisation

The first day is about understanding you. Our Ayurvedic doctors assess your health history, lifestyle, dietary habits, digestion, sleep, activity level and other relevant factors. Depending on your health profile, we may also recommend appropriate medical investigations.

Your personalised programme may include:

1. Ayurvedic consultation
2. Health and lifestyle assessment
3. Body composition assessment
4. Dietary evaluation
5. Ayurvedic assessment
6. Physical activity assessment
7. Individual treatment planning

This helps determine which therapies, dietary approach and activities are appropriate for you. Once this is done, the focus goes on correcting the digestive tract and improving metabolism with Massage therapies, detox diets, herbs, yoga, etc.

Days 4–7: Preparing the Body & Establishing the Routine

The initial phase focuses on helping you settle into the retreat routine. Your day may include Ayurvedic therapies like udvartana- fat-loss massage, Abhyanga, Herbal applications, Snehapana, Swedana / herbal steam and Other selected Ayurvedic procedures
The exact therapies are not identical for every guest. This distinction matters between a personalised medical wellness programme and a standard spa package.

Yoga & movement

Daily movement may include therapeutic yoga, mobility exercises, walking, and breathwork. The intensity can be adapted according to age, fitness level and health status.

Days 8–14: Intensive Weight Management Phase

Ayurveda therapies, nutrition, movement, yoga, stress management therapies, pranayama, meditation & lifestyle coaching. Ayurvedic therapies: Selected therapies may continue or be modified based on your response.

1. Freshly cooked vegetables
2. Appropriate sources of easily digestable protein
3. Fibre-rich foods
