The all-inclusive resort in Dehradun is one of the leading ayurvedic sanctuaries in the world, setting a new standard for luxury and treatment plans.
Seventh heaven: For haute healing, head to one of India's most exclusive ayurvedic retreats, Six Senses Vana.Chaka Khan on finally joining the Rock & Roll Hall of FameFloating weightlessly in the warm Watsu pool like a newborn, eyes closed, I was cradled in the arms of a hydrotherapist who gently rocked, stretched, and massaged my body. By the time she sounded the final Tibetan singing bowl, I was in a state of absolute beatitude.
After arriving from Delhi in a chauffeured car stocked with refreshments, I was greeted by the welcoming team. They slipped a sandalwood bead bracelet on my wrist, handed me a ceramic mug of red orchid infusion, and dotted my forehead with crimson. I was officially a Vanavasi.
Harder to get used to was the cellphone and laptop ban in shared and outdoor spaces. I was jonesing for media fixes, but there’s no question that my experience was greatly enhanced by the partial digital detox. It was also easier to hobnob with the interesting international crowd — I met an English portrait photographer on her third visit and a Central European couple enjoying a 21-day Ayurveda Panchakarma reset — since I wasn’t staring at a screen.
I spent my days gliding from Yogayam and reflexology to Tibetan hot oil massage. I sampled biohacks in the— thigh-high air compression boots that inflated to hilarious proportions and a heated massage belt — and lazed at the indoor and outdoor pools.I felt particularly virtuous eating colorful vegetarian fare, in sharp contrast to my usual heedless diet.
