Cleanse & Detox
Return to Radiant Health
Ayurveda says there are four aspects: hitaaya and ahitayu, sukhayu and dukhayu. Or in English, what is good for the body and what is not, what makes us happy and what makes us sad. Like driving a car, once you know the rules of the road, you can get around safely. Ayurveda uses knowledge about these four aspects to help you more expertly (and enjoyably!) navigate your life.

Through this therapeutic process, your body and mind are cleared of toxins—bringing your systems back into balance and proper functioning.

Dedicated Team
Our team immerses itself in the dual traditions of Ayurveda and yoga, not just as professionals, but as a powerful way of life. Ranked the #1 Ayurveda program in the US by Organic Spa Magazine, we are one of only a handful of centers dedicated to offering such an exclusive focus on Ayurveda in the US.
Effective
The one-on-one guidance of Ayurvedic experts and the combination of diet with personal Ayurvedic treatments—such as marma, abhyanga, and shirodhara—that you’ll receive at the Center greatly enhances the overall impact of the process. This synergy of massage, diet, relaxing steams, herbal supplements, and more is not only the traditional way, but much more effective than the sum of its parts.
Convenience
We know that when you cleanse, you need space and time for rest. You do not want to worry about traffic jams and missed appointments, standing over a hot stove cooking, tracking down exotic ingredients, and the other mundane details typically associated with such a process. We take care of your food, room, treatments, and all the little details to make your experience as comfortable as possible.
