Luxury Weight Loss Retreats in India with private fitness, yoga, meditation and Ayurvedic cuisine
Enquiry



Ananda Spa is nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas in India, within a hundred-acre Maharaja’s Palace Estate. It is surrounded by forest and faces the spiritual town of Rishikesh and the Ganges. There are frequent flights from Delhi International Airport to Jolly Grant Airport in Dehradun and then a picturesque drive to the resort in a private car.
Ananda Weight Loss Retreats combine Detox therapies, fitness, yoga, Ayurvedic diet and meditation. The mind is key to keeping weight off long term hence meditation. Fitness activities focus on burning calories and are tailored to each individual. The Dosha based diet aims to balance micro and macro nutrients in the body. When metabolic power or ‘Agni’ is out of balance, it results in improper digestion, which in turn leads to an increase in cellulite and fat deposits on the body.
Ananda Weight Loss Retreats are for anyone looking to lose weight and keep it off long term. If you’re after fast weight loss for a specific event, then this isn’t for you because you’re going to be asked to look deeper. You’ll observe how your emotions play a part in making nutritional decisions and how to cater for your specific dosha when you return home.
Ananda Weight Loss Retreats are one of the few programs in the world which include meditation specifically to explore how emotions play their part in weight management. Learning how to meditate and be mindful of what we are putting into our bodies is an essential part of this weight loss program.
What makes Ananda weight loss vacations so different from the rest?
Centering the weight loss program around the ancient philosophy of Ayurveda, you will receive Rookshana treatments to eliminate metabolic waste and reduce subcutaneous fat.
