Cleanse & Detox
Return to Radiant Health
Ayurveda says there are four aspects: hitaaya and ahitayu, sukhayu and dukhayu. Or in English, what is good for the body and what is not, what makes us happy and what makes us sad. Like driving a car, once you know the rules of the road, you can get around safely. Ayurveda uses knowledge about these four aspects to help you more expertly (and enjoyably!) navigate your life.

Shankara Ayurveda Wellness: Authentic Ayurveda
“Best Ayurveda Program”
Dedicated Team
Our team immerses itself in the dual traditions of Ayurveda and yoga, not just as professionals, but as a powerful way of life. Ranked the #1 Ayurveda program in the US by Organic Spa Magazine, we are one of only a handful of centers dedicated to offering such an exclusive focus on Ayurveda in the US.
Effective
The one-on-one guidance of Ayurvedic experts and the combination of diet with personal Ayurvedic treatments—such as marma, abhyanga, and shirodhara—that you’ll receive at the Center greatly enhances the overall impact of the process. This synergy of massage, diet, relaxing steams, herbal supplements, and more is not only the traditional way, but much more effective than the sum of its parts.
Convenience
We know that when you cleanse, you need space and time for rest. You do not want to worry about traffic jams and missed appointments, standing over a hot stove cooking, tracking down exotic ingredients, and the other mundane details typically associated with such a process. We take care of your food, room, treatments, and all the little details to make your experience as comfortable as possible.
Spectacular Natural Setting
Our stunning natural surroundings are perfect for taking time for yourself and your body to relax deeply and restore your energy. Boone is a vacation destination in itself, and the Center’s peaceful location on top of a mountain creates an ideal setting for deep cleansing. Add to this the tranquil atmosphere of the spa, and you have a relaxing place to get deep rest.
Unwind, let go and bathe in the serenity of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
From the moment you arrive, everything is taken care of. Our deeply restful and healing retreat environment invites you to relax and rejuvenate in any way your heart desires. Choose from an array of retreats including health, nutrition and weight-management to gentle detoxes and wellness getaways… or simply create your own! Discover what nurtures you, supports you, and take home a wealth of tools and knowledge to maintain your relaxed, balanced and renewed sense of well-being.
The perfect place to clear your mind.
Many people believe the mountains are the closest point to the heavens and we couldn’t agree more. There are thousands of reasons to meditate in nature. It’s a place where wisdom and perception come alive. It activates our senses and makes letting go of worries easier. The usual distractions seem far away and unimportant. It’s easier to let go of worries (and electronic devices!!) when you’re communing with nature.
