Ayurvedic treatments can be especially comforting during winter, providing warmth and relaxation. Choose from Abhyanga, Deep Tissue Massage, and Vanaushadi, designed to focus on dosha-specific healing to facilitate a reset for the mind and body.

2) Winter Adventures Await!

Take your wellness to new heights with a Trek to Shillim Peak. Shinrin Yoku (Forest Bathing) can be a beautiful experience during winter too, offering a unique connection with nature; or begin your day with a Sunrise Trail to observe the ever-changing beauty of nature from dawn to morning. Get lucky Bird Watching to witness feathered beauties that grace the region during winter.

3) Breathwork & Yoga

Breathing exercises are particularly beneficial during winter. At Dharana, the Pranayama sessions focus on breath control to decrease stress, helping stay centered and calm. Additionally, group yoga and meditation sessions are conducted at the Dhyana (Meditation Cave at Dharana) practicing gentle forms of yoga to promote a sense of warmth during winter.
