Ayurveda Health Retreat

This was such a deeply healing experience. I felt myself let go. The food was nourishing. The space was beyond beautiful. My room was so comfortable and charming. It was much nicer than I expected. I thought I would be roughing it a bit. But that was not the case. The yoga practices were just what I needed. I learned to prepare meals, got an Ayurvedic health consultation and finally have a blue print for my health going forward. I can't thank the staff enough. Each of them gave me so much knowledge and the gift of their time to help with my healing. It is something that I will never forget. I returned home with so much perspective and clarity. The massages and panchakarma were beyond wonderful. Alachua itself is so filled with natural beauty. I will be back. Hopefully very soon.

This place is wonderful for those looking to disconnect from the day-to-day and connect with themselves. The retreat center offers such a calming space that allows you to fully rest. You feel the spirituality and connectivity around all practices- from the services, to the classes, to the programs, to the food that is served. Every area is clean and spotless! The living plants within the studio were such a lovely touch. Everyone is so kindhearted and gentle. Truly feels like a space you can heal and be with yourself. After having my Ayurvedic massage, I felt so calm, in-tune and present. It was such a profound experience. So grateful to have found the Ayurveda Health Retreat Center. After this, I will be expanding my knowledge in Ayurveda and will be returning later this year. Highly recommend this space!

I spent 4 glorious, relaxing, recharging days at the Ayuvedic Health Retreat. Everything is clean, organized and well done. The yoga classes offered different facets of yoga each day. The staff was delightful. Food was delicious and soothing. The evening events were pleasant and informative. The treatments were indescribably wonderful. There was some down time to explore the cool things in Gainsville and surrounding areas and to do some self-reflection. For me, it was a perfect few days.

I visited the Ayurveda Health Retreat for five days in November of 2025. From the moment I arrived and Dan greeted me, I was treated with warmth, friendship and professionalism. The room I stayed in was beautiful and comfortable. Yoga classes are small and individualized. Johnathan is the most amazing instructor!! I had spa treatments with Sunflower (reflexology foot massage and cranial sacral), Sachi (Panchakarma), a cooking class with Yugula, who was an absolute joy - and a health consult with Omkar that was very thorough and enlightening. Each practitioner is incredibly knowledgeable. And the food!! Healthy and delicious. I am not a vegan or vegetarian, but I could taste the loving effort that went into each meal, and the experience has changed what and how I eat, in a very meaningful way. The chefs are so talented and friendly! The town of Alachua is pretty, with little shops and places to either walk or sit and reflect. All of this at a surprisingly affordable price. I hope to make this an annual trip!!

I did a full week retreat at the end of August 2025. It was life changing! Everything was amazing, every one of the staff was kind, caring and made my retreat perfect! I did a lot of treatments and enjoyed all of them. If you're looking for a place to reset your healthy lifestyle, relax and reboot - this is the place! Other things I loved: The cooking class - I am cooking at home from what I learnt, not only from the class but the conversations with the many chefs that prepared all our incredible meals. The morning meditation and yoga - just beautiful Ayurveda talks - I learned so much! The free time to relax - I read 4 books in the week I was there! My Advice - disconnect from everything - news, emails, social media and messaging - such bliss!
