Rooted in Ayurvedic Tradition
Guided by your individual needs
Held with warmth & care
WHAT IS PANCHAKARMA?
Ancient wisdom.
A deeply personal journey.
Panchakarma is a traditional Ayurvedic approach to cleansing and renewal. Its name means “five actions,” referring to a group of classical practices selected according to the individual.
At Ayurway, your journey begins with understanding you: your Ayurvedic constitution, daily routines, health history, and what you hope to make space for. From there, we shape a multi-day plan of appropriate therapies, nourishment, and rest.
Your program may include preparation, selected Panchakarma procedures, and recovery guidance. The therapies and pace depend on your assessment; every guest does not receive every procedure.
THE AYURWAY DIFFERENCE
Knowledge. Space. Experience.
And love in the little things.
01
Knowledge that guides
Classical Ayurvedic principles inform a plan built around your needs, with space to ask questions and understand each step.
02
Space to exhale
Green surroundings, a slower pace, and the quiet of Sunol give you room to step away from everyday demands.
03
Care you can feel
From warm oil therapies to attentive hands-on care, your experience brings Ayurvedic tradition into the present moment.
04
Warmth at every step
Being listened to. Having your comfort considered. Feeling welcome. For us, these are essential parts of personal care.
3, 7 OR 14 DAYS
Your time.
Your path to renewal.
You do not need to choose a program on your own. Your consultation helps determine the right duration, therapies, and pace for you.
3
days
A focused pause
A shorter immersion for those ready to make dedicated space for Ayurvedic care and rest.
A CONSIDERED BEGINNING
7

Settle into a rhythm
A week to step back from your usual routine and give your personalized program more time and attention.
ROOM TO SLOW DOWN
14
days
Make space for more
An extended stay or series of visits, with more time for the therapies and rest recommended for you.
A LONGER IMMERSION
Program length describes time with us, not a guaranteed outcome or a fixed set of procedures. Preparation and recovery may extend beyond your scheduled days.
YOUR SUNOL ESCAPE
Come for the care.
Stay for the stillness.
Surrounded by the natural landscape of Sunol, Ayurway offers a peaceful setting for Panchakarma in the Bay Area. Choose how you spend your time here.
01
Stay at our retreat
Let the day unfold around your care. Residential arrangements bring your accommodation, meals, and therapies together, with room to rest between sessions.
02
Visit us each day
Return home after your scheduled care and come back for your next visit. We will discuss whether commuting suits your recommended program and confirm meal arrangements.
Accommodation, meal details, and availability are confirmed when your plan is prepared.
PERSONALIZED AYURVEDIC THERAPIES
A tradition of care.
Thoughtfully selected.
Your plan may draw from these therapies, based on your assessment and suitability.
Abhyanga
Full-body massage with warm oil.
Swedana & Udwartana
Herbal steam and traditional herbal powder massage.
Shirodhara
A continuous stream of warm oil over the forehead.
Targeted oil therapies
Kati, Janu, or Greeva Basti for the lower back, knees, or neck.
When appropriate, your practitioner may discuss Nasya, Basti (medicated enema), or Virechana (therapeutic purgation). These require individual assessment and are not automatic inclusions. Targeted external oil therapies are different from Basti enema procedures.
WHAT TO EXPECT?
We begin by listening.
01 / CONSULT
Share your story
In a 45-minute consultation, discuss your goals, routines, health history, and questions with an Ayurvedic practitioner.
02 / PERSONALIZE
Understand your plan
Review the recommended duration, therapies, preparation, stay options, and a personalized quote before committing.
03 / EXPERIENCE
Make time for care
Follow your scheduled therapies, with time for rest and the nourishment agreed in your program. Breathing or meditation may also be recommended.
04 / CONTINUE
Ease into everyday life
Discuss recovery, your return to everyday routines, and whether a separate follow-up consultation would be helpful.
