If you are looking for a very personal yoga and aryuverdic destination then this is a great place. It is run by a husband and wife team and there are many members of staff and doctors to help you. I came here for a complete detox to help with my arthritis. It's set in a very tranquil setting with stunning views overlooking lake Mulchi. I don't think you could do this type of retreat in a town as you would have too many temptations and distractions.nThe rooms are simple and basic but clean with hot running water. On arrival you have a consultation with an Aryuverdic Doctor. Every morning you are woken up at 0630 with a herbal tea and then yoga starts at 7am. This is Iyengar yoga and props are used to help you maintain the correct pose. On day 3 you feel as though your muscles are in agony and every single one is crying out. By day 4 you feel stronger and are able to twist your body into a better pose. Yoga lasts for 2 hours and is finished with a prayer. You then head for your individual treatment. If you are prudish then leave your dignity behind, as you are massaged from top to toe wearing only a small loin cloth. I also have a mixture of dried herbs rubbed all over my body and then you are put into a steam closet for 15 minutes. Lunch is at one o'clock and they serve vegetarian food that suits your body type 'pitta dosha' or 'vata dosha'etc. Everything is very fresh and clean tasting. You are then free until 3 when yoga starts again. This is a relaxing yoga where you hold the pose for 15 minutes at a time. After there is another treatment at 4pm, which could be numerous types of massage depending on your ailments.

The whole program sets you straight for the future and makes you reassess your lifestyle.
They also do a full diet consultation during your stay
I would thoroughly recommend this Centre mainly because it is small and very personable.
The staff are very attentive, kind, smiley and want to make sure that your stay with them is special and bespoke to you.
You can have extra treatments in the spa area, a manicure, etc, cookery lessons and a guide can take you walking in the evenings.
If you know your 'birds' there are hundreds of different types and some stunning species (it's worth bringing some binoculars)

Do your homework to make sure that this is for you and then book it!!!
