About the retreat

Program Overview

What to Expect

Purpose:

The Aavya Stress-Relief & Nervous System Reset Retreat is designed as a deeply restorative journey for anyone coming from a high-pressure lifestyle, chronic stress, emotional overwhelm, or burnout.

This retreat doesn’t just “relax” you, it re-teaches your mind and body how to slow down, soften, breathe, and return to balance.
Through nature immersion, gentle movement, healing touch, grounded routines, and quiet introspection, you learn how to reset your system from the inside out.

Instead of pushing, performing, or “improving,” this retreat invites you to unwind, release accumulated stress, and rediscover your natural rhythm of peace, clarity, and ease.

You leave feeling lighter, clearer, rested, and more connected to yourself.

Focus Areas:

  • Nervous System Reset: Reducing hyperactivation, anxiety, overthinking, and physical tension.

  • Deep Rest & Sleep Repair: Using Yoga Nidra, breath-led unwinding, and calming rituals.

  • Emotional Softening & Letting Go: Release stored stress and emotional fatigue gently.

  • Reconnecting with the Body: Through slow movement, somatic practices, pottery, and grounding touch.

  • Rebuilding Energy & Clarity: Restoring mental space, emotional steadiness, and inner calm.

  • Nature Immersion & Silence

  • Mindful Eating & Gut Healing: Warm sattvic meals that soothe digestion and reduce inflammation.

Personalized Approach:

  • Every guest begins with a one-on-one assessment to understand: stress history, sleep patterns, emotional load, lifestyle habits, body tension points, breath patterns, personal goals.

  • Based on this, the team curates a personalized stress-relief plan, choosing the right combination of: movement, breathwork, pottery, meditation, spa therapies, sound healing, daily rituals, optional counselling or emotional support

    No two guests follow the same journey, it is fully tailored to the needs of the individual.

Holistic Healing Methods:

  • Gentle Yoga & Movement Therapy: Daily sessions designed to balance your mind and body.
  • Pranayama & Breathwork: Techniques to regulate energy, reduce stress, and cultivate inner calm.
  • Spa Treatments: Rejuvenating massages and therapies aimed at releasing tension and promoting deep relaxation.
  • Sound Healing & Energy Work: Specialized practices like sound baths and Kundalini activation for emotional release and spiritual alignment.
