Experience the Retreat
This programme suits adults with recurring low back, neck or sciatic pain from desk work, long drives or an old injury. The doctor assesses your posture, history and dosha state on arrival, looks at any scans you send ahead, and sets a plan of internal medicines and two daily therapies matched to the area affected.
Treatments are booked by the doctor and reviewed every day, so the plan keeps pace with how your back responds. Warm oil work, herbal steam and localised Basti are staged over the stay to calm inflammation and support the tissues. Yoga runs each morning at a pace your body can hold, meditation closes the evening and Sattvic vegetarian meals support recovery. You leave with a final assessment, home exercises and diet guidance to look after your spine.
Why This Retreat Stands Out
The plan is personalised to your condition rather than a fixed spine package. Snehana and Swedana prepare the body, Virechana Karma and Basti follow where advised, and Kati Basti and Greeva Basti hold warm medicated oil over the lower back and neck, with Vata calming care throughout.

Food Details
Meals are full-board Sattvic vegetarian cuisine, categorised into Vata, Pitta and Kapha by the doctor and cooked to that plan by the culinary team. Produce comes from the centre's own farm, and dishes are labelled by dosha so guests know what they are eating and why.
The kitchen builds around the six tastes of sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter and astringent to maintain balance. Seasonal fruit from the estate, freshly pressed juices, tender coconut and herbal teas run through the day.
Gluten-free, diabetic and other special diets are catered for, and weekly cooking classes teach authentic Kerala dishes with the recipes to take home. Outside food and alcohol are not permitted, since they work against the treatment.

INDIA
The centre sits on the banks of the Chalakudy River in Kerala, on an 18 acre estate of farm and forest. It is 25 km from Cochin International Airport, close to an hour by road, so the journey in is short even from a long-haul flight.
The estate carries a working canopy of teak, mahogany, mangosteen, rambutan, nutmeg and pepper, along with herbal gardens and a riverside deck. Fourteen rooms sit within it, which keeps the place quiet even when it is full.
There is more to do here than rest. Over 1.5 km of paved paths run through the estate for walking, jogging or cycling, and kayaking, fishing and bird watching happen from the private jetty on the river.
Indoors there is a swimming pool, a 15 seat home theatre, a library, billiards, carrom, chess and badminton. Pottery classes run three times a month and cooking classes weekly, and Athirappilly Waterfalls and the hanging bridge are close enough for a day trip.

Travel Information
flight
Cochin International Airport is 25 km away, a drive of about 50 minutes, and is an approved e-Visa airport. A complimentary round trip transfer is included for stays of 7 nights or more.
International arrivals are met at Pillar A6 and domestic arrivals at Pillar 24, with the driver carrying a placard for identification. Driver details are shared by WhatsApp or email the day before arrival.
train
Chalakudy railway station is the nearest at 9 km, around 20 minutes away, and pick-up from the station can be arranged. It sits on the main Kerala line with connections from across the state and beyond.
Thrissur and Ernakulam are the larger railheads within reach for long-distance services. Booking the onward transfer with the centre in advance is simpler than arranging it on arrival.
bus
Chalakudy is on the main Kerala highway route, with regular state and private bus services from Kochi, Thrissur and further afield. The journey from Kochi takes around an hour and a half.
From Chalakudy town, a local taxi or auto reaches the estate in a few minutes. Guests arriving with luggage will find a direct taxi from the airport considerably easier.
taxi
A pre-booked taxi from Cochin airport takes around 50 minutes on a straightforward road. Beyond the included airport transfer, the centre can arrange a taxi for any journey during the stay.
App based cabs work within Kochi and reach Chalakudy comfortably. Share the address at Softouch Ayurveda Village, Chalakudy, Kerala 680311 with any independent driver.
car
The estate sits off the main highway near Chalakudy, roughly 55 km from Kochi city and 25 km from the airport. The roads are good for the whole run, with the final stretch on quieter local roads.
Parking is available on the estate. Navigation reaches the property directly, though it is worth confirming the final turn with the centre before setting out.
FAQ's
Adults with chronic neck, low back or sciatic pain, or stiffness from prolonged desk work and old injuries. It works as supportive care alongside your orthopaedic or physiotherapy team, not as a replacement for a surgical opinion where one is advised.
Two daily treatments totalling 90 to 120 minutes, one hour of morning yoga adapted to your back, one hour of evening meditation and a daily doctor consultation. All Sattvic vegetarian meals and prescribed medicines are included.
No. The physician explains every therapy in plain terms and the yoga teacher adjusts postures to your pain level. First timers are welcome.
Bring a full list and declare it at the arrival consultation, along with any imaging reports. Continue painkillers or nerve medicines your own doctor has prescribed, and the physician here will coordinate timings so nothing clashes with the Ayurvedic plan.
The doctor advises at the pre-arrival consultation, based on the severity and history of your pain. Fourteen days is the minimum, and a 21 day stay allows deeper work for longer standing cases.
During menstruation, full body massages are avoided though neck and spine therapies may still be offered. Treatments are not recommended during suspected pregnancy, and this should be shared with the team in advance.
Two daily personalised treatments, daily doctor consultations, full-board Sattvic meals, morning yoga and evening meditation, all prescribed medicines, and access to the pool, home theatre and common facilities. Airport transfers and the Athirappilly excursion are included for stays of 7 nights or more.
Rates cover everything from the room to the meals, treatments, medicines and yoga. Only laundry and take-home medicines are charged separately, and both only if used.
Guests aged 10 and above are welcome, which keeps the atmosphere quiet and therapeutic. Children between 10 and 17 must be supervised by a parent at the swimming pool.
Loose, modest clothing for yoga and treatments, and footwear suitable for farm walks. Robes, slippers and umbrellas are provided, and oils can mark fabric, so pack accordingly.
Further Details About the Retreat
Days at the centre keep a steady, unhurried rhythm of morning yoga, two treatment sessions timed by your doctor, evening meditation and a light dinner, and the next day's plan is messaged to you each evening. Outside food and alcohol are not allowed, quiet hours begin at 10 PM, and rooms have no television, though Wi-Fi covers the estate.
Please share existing health conditions, current medicines and any relevant medical reports before arrival, and mention gluten free, diabetic or other dietary needs so the kitchen can plan ahead. Pack loose, modest clothing and footwear for farm walks, keeping in mind that oils can mark fabric, while robes, slippers and umbrellas are provided.
