It’s a rare opportunity to connect on a personal level with Acharya Shunya, whose guidance helps you feel safe, understood, and ready to embrace the healing process.

A Transformative Setting
The 5-day detox takes place in the serene environment of the Sivananda Ashram, nestled on the beautiful beaches of the Bahamas.

The daily meditations, purifying chants, and the overall spiritual vibe of the ashram create a supportive and rejuvenating environment that’s truly unmatched. The setting alone adds a layer of tranquility and inspiration to your journey, making this detox not just a cleanse but a deeply enriching retreat for the soul.
A Sacred Connection
One of the most beautiful aspects of this program is the cozy, family-like atmosphere that Acharya Shunya and Chef Sanjai create. Married in real life and having taught together for decades, they weave a warm, supportive environment where students feel embraced by universal love and guided by timeless Vedic wisdom. This sense of belonging turns participants into a detox family, where connections are made, and the journey of healing and rejuvenation is shared, making the experience even more meaningful and lasting.
What is Ayurveda
What is Ayurveda and how can you benefit from it?
Ayurveda is a natural system of medicine that originated in India more than 3,000 years ago! Derived from the Sanskrit words ayur (life) and veda (science or knowledge), Ayurveda translates to the knowledge or science of life.
The system of Ayurveda attributes disease to imbalances in a person’s consciousness. It prescribes treatments unique to the individual’s bodily constitution (Prakriti) based upon the 3 life forces or Doshas: movement (Vata), metabolism (Pitta), and nourishment (Kapha).
The primary focus of an Ayurvedic detox is to find balance between the body, mind, spirit and the environment through an internal purification process accompanied by a special diet, herbal remedies, yoga, and meditation. Treatment aids the individual by eliminating impurities, reducing symptoms, increasing metabolism and resistance to disease, quietening mental anguish and bringing harmony to all areas of life.
This spring, give your body a cleanse that is healthy and delicious without withholding food, causing mood swings, or stripping the body of vital nutrients.
