Soukya, India
Soukya’s expansive soul-nurturing gardens
provide the ingredients for the colourful
vegetarian cuisine and therapeutic
oils. Founded by renowned holistic
practitioner Dr Issac Mathai, the backbone
of Soukya is a healing combination of
Ayurveda, naturopathy, yoga and intensive
panchakarma. The cultural fusion of skilled
doctors, naturopaths, dietitians and massage
therapists invites a life-changing opportunity
for guests, with daily yoga and meditation
coupled with targeted treatments and
home-brewed remedies created from the
expansive organic gardens. Guests come
to Soukya to address often serious health
issues from depression and chronic illness
to migraines, diabetes, weight loss, fatigue
or to simply have some time for the mind
to still under the expert guidance of the
skilled practitioners. The rooms and cottages
all feature private gardens with open-air
showers and the dosha-specific meals are
generally taken in silence.
