With Nicole, Kesh and Lindsay (and the Pacific behind us). My fourth time working with Pilates Anytime at Santa Barbara. We did four different modules - Push Through Barre, Matwork Flow, Sling Work and Intermediate Reformer, and working with the three of them was like coming home - so encouraging and inspiring.

Panchakarma is a unique, five-fold detoxification protocol tailored to individual dosha imbalances and disease staging. It includes:

🍃 Vamana
Emesis for upper GI tract Kapha disorders (asthma, obesity, chronic rhinitis)

🍂 Virechana
Purgation for hepatobiliary and pitta-related conditions (liver diseases, skin diseases, gastritis)

🌿 Basti
Colon-targeted therapy for vata-related disorders

🌾 Nasya
Nasal administration for ENT and neurological disorders

🌺 Raktamokshana
Controlled bloodletting for localized inflammation, varicosities, and chronic skin condition

Booking options are flexible. Book your space for anytime between 1st December and the first week of March to experience this unique rejuvenating and healing treatment. We recommend a minimum stay of 14 days, but 3 weeks would be ideal to fully benefit from the Panchakarma treatments.
