'Wellness' is a vast concept. To a lot of people, it's as simple as the right diet. To others, it may involve a cleanse now and then. And then to some, it could mean inculcating healthy practices in one's day-to-day life. The common factor, though, is the mind-and-body connection, being in sync with and being able to distinguish between needs, wants, and urges, and subsequently, doing what's right for your body.
In this guide, we'll take you through our top picks for wellness centres in India, each offering something different and unique, and all that warrant a visit to sort you out.
Ananda in the Himalayas
Ananda rests in the Himalayan foothills in Rishikesh - the birthplace of yoga, Ayurveda, and vedic knowledge. Ananda focuses on holistic wellness, emotional healing, spiritual awareness, and healthy eating habits. The cuisines and meals are curated according to each individual dosha or body type to promote internal balance. Emotional healing at Ananda focuses on releasing emotional blockages critical for personal growth. Hypnosis, Regression, Inner Child Healing, and Energy therapies are used to heal stress, release blockages, and live in alignment with one's potential. With emotional healing, guests can gain a deeper awareness of the self and assess patterns for a fulfilling emotional journey.

Tucked away in the quiet parts of Jaipur, Rajasthan, Amanbagh's bespoke wellness programme offers several outlets for individuals to understand their body better, and subsequently what works for their body type, based on Ayurvedic doshas.
