Where This Course Takes You
What You'll Take Home
Healing that only lasts a week isn't healing — you leave with:
- A quieter nervous system and the daily practices — breath, meditation, Yoga Nidra — that keep it that way at home.
- Your dosha and a written personal plan from our Ayurvedic doctor: food, routine and self-care guidance for continued healing.
- The experience of modalities you may never have tried — sound healing, Reiki, Shirodhara — and the knowledge of which ones truly work for you.
- Space processed: many guests arrive carrying something heavy and leave having finally set it down.
- Deep rest — most guests sleep better here within days than they have in months.
Experience the Journey
Healing Therapies at Pure Soul
At Pure Soul Yoga School, we offer various healing therapies designed to promote physical, mental and emotional well-being. Your stay begins with a consultation with our Ayurvedic doctor, and each therapy is added to your personal healing plan based on your unique needs and constitution — charged individually, so you only receive (and pay for) what truly serves your healing. One full-body massage is included with every retreat.
Ayurvedic Massage — a therapeutic practice using warm herbal oils to nourish the body and release deep-held tension. Helps balance the doshas and promote overall well-being.
Shirodhara — an Ayurvedic therapy involving the gentle pouring of warm herbal oil over the forehead. Promotes relaxation, mental clarity and emotional balance.
Reiki — a gentle Japanese practice involving the laying of hands, traditionally used to promote deep relaxation and a sense of balance.
Sound Healing — therapeutic use of sound vibrations to reduce stress, enhance mental clarity and promote emotional balance — offered in group sessions included with your retreat.
Yoga & Pranayama — daily yoga asanas and breathwork to release physical tension and restore energy flow.
Meditation & Chanting — practices that calm the mind, cultivate awareness and deepen spiritual connection.

Ayurvedic Care You Can Trust
Meet Dr. Bhupinder Singh Arora — Our Ayurvedic Doctor
Every health-focused program at Pure Soul Yoga School is guided by Dr. Bhupinder Singh Arora, who earned his M.D. in Ayurveda from Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University, Pune, and has been practising Ayurvedic panchakarma for 16 years.
He has served as an honorary professor and adviser to well-known institutions and is the former Head of the Panchakarma Department at SLN Ayurvedic College, Amritsar. Rooted in traditional Ayurvedic lineages, he is known for his pulse diagnosis (nadi pariksha), leech therapy and panchakarma treatments, which have benefited patients across India and abroad.
How your consultation works
- Before any Ayurvedic treatment begins, you receive a personal consultation with the doctor to assess your constitution (dosha) and health needs.
- When the doctor is available on-site, your consultation happens in person. If he is not on-site during your stay, your consultation is held online before your treatment starts — no treatment is given without it.
- Therapies are then personalised to your body and comfort level, and our team checks in with you throughout your program.
Health note: Our retreats and therapies are intended to support general well-being. They are not a substitute for professional medical diagnosis or treatment. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant, or take regular medication, please consult your physician before booking and share your health details with our team in advance.
