Who this is for, and what it does
For corporate groups booking together. The estate takes forty with a buy-out. Mornings are shared — practice, workshop, walk — and afternoons are individual, which is what stops an offsite feeling like a conference with mats.

The itinerary, day by day
A template, not a timetable — the vaidya adjusts it after your consultation and again whenever your body asks for something different.

Questions about this programme
Is this panchakarma?
No. Under fourteen nights we call it purvakarma — preparation — and price it that way. It is a real programme with real outcomes; it is not a completed protocol.
Who should join this programme?
Teams of 8–40, whole-estate available. If that is not you, say so on the enquiry — we will point you at the duration that fits rather than sell you this one.
Is prior yoga experience required?
No. Roughly half of any morning room has never held a mat, and the sequence is built so a beginner and a teacher can do the same practice at different depths.
What should I bring?
Layers for a cold six o'clock, walking shoes with grip, and something to write in. Everything else — mats, oils, robes, herbal bath salts — is here.
Can the programme be customised?
It is customised as standard. What you read here is the template; the vaidya rewrites it after your consultation and again whenever your body asks.
What is included in the price?
Accommodation, all meals, the full practice schedule, consultations and the therapies listed above. À la carte therapies and transfers are extra; taxes are shown in full before you pay.
What is the cancellation policy?
Full refund more than fourteen days before arrival, including the deposit. Inside that, the booking policy applies — and if the road closes or a doctor intervenes, we move the booking instead.
