Frequently Asked Questions
?
Is a weekend retreat long enough to be worth it?
A weekend retreat of two to three nights fits roughly four to six therapies, two yoga sessions and one doctor consultation, which is enough to reset sleep but not enough for a cleansing programme. Panchakarma needs at least fourteen nights.
?
What should I pack for a weekend retreat?
Pack loose cotton clothes for yoga and oil therapies, sandals, a light shawl for early mornings, and any prescription medicines. Centres supply mats, towels, oils and treatment wraps. Leave white clothing at home, because ayurvedic oils stain permanently.
?
When do weekend retreats in India start and finish?
Most weekend retreats in India check in on Friday afternoon and check out after lunch on Sunday, giving two nights and about forty hours on site. Some centres run Thursday to Sunday. Book six weeks ahead for peak season.
