  • I’ve never felt more clear, grounded and relaxed than I did following 5 days of intensive cleansing with Aruna and Satya.–Bernie L – Mineral, VA

  • I have been getting Panchakarma treatments with the Yogic Medicine Institute’s team for eleven years now and it has literally changed my life. The therapists are all amazingly skilled, professional and kind. Their 4 handed massages are sublime. I think Panchakarma is a great option not just for the unwell but also for healthy people to cleanse their system. My life has become so much better on every level and I recommend it for anyone who is interested in natural medicine and healing.–Loraine P – San Diego, CA

  • This is a unique approach to the ancient art of Ayurvedic healing that directly and effectively addresses the concerns that come out of our modern industrial era with all it’s conveniences, challenges and stresses. In that sense, it actually surpasses the traditional Pancha Karma while staying absolutely true to it’s ancient roots. It has been a wonderful and healing experience for me to work with Aruna and Satya over the last two years. They are an amazing healing team who are deeply committed, skilled and compassionate. They live and embody the work that they do. It is a true delight to work with them!–Sheila S – Big Sur, CA

  • The best part of doing the Ayurvedic cleanse was the depth of experience and expertise of Satya and Aruna. You want to get the most from taking the time and energy for your health.  They can help you do that.  In a surprisingly short time I made progress with a chronic health issue that nothing else had been working for and believe me,  I’ve tried plenty of methods.–David K – Penn Valley, CA
