Indimasi - Ayurveda & Healing Village

Location is epic! A private property surrounded by lush jungle... One of the cleanest outdoor pools I have ever swam in is located at the top of the Indimasi healing village overlooking the surrounding hills of forest. Noise level is a very key factor for me... there was not really any noise. I was very happy about this! There was however a lot of nature sounds from variety of birds in the day to frogs and crickets at night. From my room, I could hear the devotional music coming from the local Devi temple in the mornings and evenings... this I also enjoyed :) From the moment I was picked up in Trivandrum from the Indimasi driver, I had a good feeling about the place, and by the end of the day, I knew I had found the right place for me! I have a basic understanding of Ayurveda and some experience with having informal Pancha Karma treatments in the past so I had certain expectations and was not expecting to be so blown away. I was deeply touched by not only how excellent the Pancha Karma process went but the genuine care and attention given to all the guests by the doctors, treatment therapists, kalari and yoga teachers, guest care team, dining team, housekeepers, drivers etc. There were many special little touches and features that added to the standard care and too many to mention, but for a few: - The yoga space is wonderful!!! AND so is the kalari space where the classes are taught in a way that beginners can participate and by the end of 2 weeks, you actually have a few skills :) - The treatment table are unique in that they have arm rests so that arms and hands can be stretched out and away from the body rather than the conventional tables where the arms must remain at the sides of the body (there are photos of this table on their website). - The food is delicious and level of hygiene with the food preparation is very impressive as well! You can see the kitchen from the dining area so its easy to see this! I have the utmost respect for Guru Yogi Shivan, who has created this extraordinary and unique healing village. He lead some of the kalari and meditation/yoga sessions where he shared insights into the history of ancient health practices, Indian culture and the spiritual process. It is apparent that preserving the traditional wisdom of Indian medicine, culture and heritage is of utmost importance to him and the team. With immense gratitude to all of you at Indimasi who made my 2 week journey so deeply nurturing!

A beautiful resort to heal your mind and body! Comfortable rooms, wholesome food and courteous staff. A combination of Ayurveda, meditation, yoga, breathing techniques, massages fitness through Kalari and healing methods combining modern & ancient expertise all contribute to wellness. Excellent doctors, well qualified yoga, kalari instructors and all guided by Guruji-Yogi Shivam made our stay a pleasant and fruitful experience.

I had the privilege of visiting Indimasi Healing Village last week, and it was an experience beyond words. The Ayurvedic Veda treatment was deeply rejuvenating, leaving me feeling balanced and revitalized. I was fortunate to meet Guru Yogi Shivan, whose presence radiates warmth and wisdom. His guidance, rooted in the Siddha Yoga tradition, offers a profound path to inner peace and well-being. The Satvik meals at the restaurant were nourishing and flavorful, embodying the essence of holistic living. The serene beauty of the Indian Mass Village provided the perfect backdrop for reflection and tranquility. I highly recommend this sanctuary to anyone seeking healing, spiritual growth, and a connection to ancient wisdom.

It was my 1st detox and rejuvenation retreat and I enjoyed it thoroughly. From the beginning or since from few days before, dr. Mubarak and team of doctors guided me so well so that I got the best advantage out of my 10 days stay, my heartfelt thanks to all of you. The teamwork is great, felt the warmth and homely feelings.

Indimasi is truly a healing village. I came with 5 friends, all of us middle-aged and above, each with different health goals. The doctors and staff were amazing in their sensitivity to our various needs, ability to adjust treatments as we progressed through our daily massages, herbal medications, and martial arts/yoga/meditation practices. We all commented that we have never had such attentive care from all departments of the staff. We were even treated to a cooking lesson from the staff who served 3 tasty individualized vegetarian meals daily. We are already planning a return visit next year!

The one thing that strikes you the moment you enter Indimasi is a sense of abundance — an abundance of smiles, of care, of lush greenery, and of wide blue skies filled with sunshine. Some of this abundance, I believe, flows from the presence of Guru Yogi Shivan, the founder of Indimasi. The positivity and healing energy that he exudes seem to permeate the atmosphere and influence the temperament of everyone around. It’s as if his calm, centered energy sets the tone for the compassion and serenity that define this place. There are 4 ways through which they approach healing — through medication, guided by the doctors; through food, thoughtfully prepared to support your wellbeing; through massages and through Yoga Kalari. Each service provider on the campus irrespective of their role is kind, attentive and genuinely willing to go the extra mile to make you feel deeply cared for. As for the impact of the treatment itself, that’s always a personal journey. Each of us comes with unique concerns and responds differently. But if I were to answer the simple question of whether I would return — my answer would be an unhesitating yes.
