INDIVIDUAL WELLNESS IMMERSIONS Ayur • Purify • Rejuvenate

Escape to a secret garden estate in India’s rugged Aravalli Hills and reconnect

within the rose-pink, Mughal-inspired sanctuary that is Amanbagh. Drawing

on India’s remarkable wellness heritage, Amanbagh’s 4- to 21-night Ayurvedic

Immersions offer a unique experience of this 5,000-year-old system of

preventative medicine. An in-house Ayurvedic physician oversees every detail of

your Immersion, whether you seek an educational introduction to Ayurveda and its

principles of self-healing and preventative care, or a full three-week programme

designed for total rejuvenation and transformation.

AYURVEDA AT AMANBAGH

Combining the Sanskrit word for ‘life’ with veda meaning ‘science’, Ayurveda encourages balance in all things. Its principles rely on the truism that each of us has a predominant constitutional dosha, determined by our inherent characteristics and body type. An in-depth assessment determines whether you are Vata, Kapha, or Pitta, and this knowledge along with regular consultations with our Ayurvedic physician ensures your Immersion is uniquely geared to your needs. Immersions include daily Ayurvedic treatments, delicious meals and refreshments in line with your dosha requirements, expert yoga/meditation classes, and optional group activities. A number of carefully curated cultural experiences are also included, such as visiting the astonishing Neelkanth Temple and Mansarovar Lake.

THE FOOD

Unrivalled nutritional support and education lie at the core of each Immersion: Every meal is created with your dosha requirements in mind. Designed by Amanbagh’s Executive Chef and his expert team under the guidance of our Ayurvedic physician and nutritionist, your menu is utterly unique, reflecting your nutritional needs to ensure your dosha balance restoration is in line with Ayurvedic cooking concepts. For an authentic Panchakarma cure, a Vegetarian Ayurvedic Menu is offered which is easy to digest and ‘cure’ supportive.

THE RESORT

Shaded courtyards, domed cupolas and a potent mystical atmosphere - Amanbagh is an inspirational setting for an immersive Ayurvedic retreat. Quietly glamorous, the property was once the resting ground for the Maharajah of Alwar’s tiger hunts. The modern-day Mughal Palace and lush garden estate – all manicured green lawns, palms and eucalyptus trees – is a deeply cocooning place in which to reconnect. Old World India meets New World style, with the sleek Haveli Suites and Pool Pavilions providing privacy, space and luxurious comfort. The spa is a haven of quiet calm, the grounds a verdant sanctuary with sprawling kitchen gardens. The cheerful faces of Amanbagh’s deep heart, staff members greet you with confident smiles and garlands of sunny marigolds.

YOGA & MEDITATION

Customised to your specific needs, every yoga session includes asana (postures), mudras (gestures), pranayama (breathing techniques) and relaxation. Amanbagh offers customised yoga sessions based on detailed consultations with our resident instructor. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced yoga practitioner, sessions aim to increase your mind/body connection. They also include various purification and meditation techniques that assist in balancing the three doshas.

Sample Treatments & Activities

AYUR IMMERSIONSample Daily Schedule

AYURVEDIC TREATMENTS

Abhyanga: Ayurveda advises a massage with warm

herbal oils as a part of daily life. Abhyanga means ‘to

anoint’ and here specific oils are chosen for the head

and body according to your dosha type. A wonderful

whole body massage is then performed in sync by two

therapists. The natural healing qualities of the herbal

oils, together with traditional massage techniques are

deeply cleansing and rejuvenating, improving the overall

appearance of the skin and relieving stress. This massage

helps to harmonise imbalances in all three doshas.

Shirodhara: In this calming, healing therapy, a steady

stream of warm medicated oil is allowed to flow from

a specific height onto the forehead and the entire scalp

region, before a gently releasing head massage. This is

one of the most popular Ayurvedic therapies, said to

enhance mental relaxation, cool the head, improve

the function of the five senses and help with insomnia

and jet lag.

TakraDhara: A therapy aimed at relieving and treating

psychosomatic problems - anything from psoriasis to

daily anxiety. A stream of medicated buttermilk (said to

lighten emotions) is poured onto the forehead and scalp,

relieving the tensions and chronic fatigue caused by

long term stress. This treatment can also help with low

moods, the menopause and thyroid dysfunctions.

YOGA/MEDITATION

Pranayama Breathing Practice: This ancient Yogic

technique aids breath control in order to activate the

‘life force’ or prana of the body and attain a higher state

of vibratory energy and awareness. This simple but highly

effective breathing practice helps calm both body and

mind. Concentrating on the breath distracts, focuses and

clears the brain, allowing you to sit in meditation with

greater ease.

Sadhana Meditation: Sadhana, meaning “spiritual

practice” is a guided meditation to quieten the mind.

Gentle yet powerful, it allows surface tensions and stress

to subside, allowing for an increased feeling of calmness,

greater clarity and heightened alertness. It also helps to

generate an improved connection of the mind and body,

allowing you to tap into your deepest desires and stay

aligned to your truth.

Important considerations:

1. Ayurvedic Immersions are supervised by an experienced Ayurvedic physician who qualified at one of India’s finest Medical Universities.

2. All Ayurvedic products used are herbal and natural.

3. There can be no guarantee of healing as this depends on several factors including age, health conditions, immune system strength and adaptability in response to herbal medicine.

4. In the event of emergency, paramedic support is available 24 hours a day.

5. The Ayurvedic physician will advise changes to Immersion programmes based on thorough ongoing assessments.

6. Ayurvedic Immersions are not advised for pregnant women and children below the age of 12.
