VANA
Vana is a Wellness Retreat nestled amongst Sal forest in Dehradun, close to the foothills of the
Indian Himalayas.
A search for equilibrium, learning and the inner journey are at the heart of Vana. Vana draws inspiration from its literal meaning - forest - a place that protects, nurtures and nourishes, while providing space to discover and flourish. Those that choose to take abode within Vana are referred to as Vanavasis.
GETTING TO VANA
Vana is located in Dehradun, in the state of Uttarakhand, northern India. There are multiple daily flights between Dehradun’s Jolly Grant airport and Delhi and Mumbai. Other airports with a single daily flight include Jaipur, Hyderabad and Bangalore. Cities such as Lucknow and Varanasi have direct flights on certain days of the week. On arrival at Dehradun airport Vanavasis are received by a Vana team member and driven to the Retreat (60 minutes).
WELLNESS OFFERINGS
At Vana, authentic traditions of wellness, medicine and wisdom have been brought together with creative thought, deep commitment and personalised support. The structured frameworks of Ayurveda, Sowa Rigpa and Yoga have been mindfully integrated alongside wellness practices of the contemporary world. These exist in spaces that are a homage to nature and the sublime. Nourishing cuisine, experiences for all the senses and a kind-hearted team complete the offering that is Vana.
All Vanavasis start their retreat with a private consultation with one of Vana’s wellness consultants. A program is then developed by the consultant in line with the Vanavasi’s wellness goals. Each Vanavasi’s program is made up of private treatments combined with a wide selection of retreat activities. There is the option to complement included offerings with a la carte treatments. Group sessions include yoga, meditation, breathing, music therapy, walks, hikes, cuisine and fitness. Indian musical performances, festivities and spiritual activities complement Vana’s Wellness offering. Vana also hosts retreats and specialists in-residence throughout the year.
