Soul Nurturing, Nature's Tranquility, Peaceful Health- A Journey to Ananda in the Himalayas

jeudi 26 juin 2025 • Durée 28:33

In this month's episode of the X8, we explore the world-renowned wellness retreat and spa Ananda in the Himalayas.

We are fortunate to be joined by Dr. Sreelal Sankar, the General Manager, who helps to uncover the origins and philosophy behind Ananda, its unique approach to holistic health, and the reasons people seek out this natural oasis. He will share with us a bit of the retreat's history, its founder's vision, and later we also delve into what a typical day at Ananda looks like, the typical duration of guest stays, and the role cuisine plays in any wellness journey. Ananda prides itself on educating guests about healthy living and eating, helping them make lasting changes even after they leave; and we are happy to be telling you about this lovely property today!

Welcome Dr. Sreelal Sankar, GM of the Ananda in the Himalayas

01:30: Can you tell us a little bit about how Ananda in the Himalayas got started and a bit about the Founder?

07:45: What are some of the reasons that people give when they arrive, or even before they arrive, for why they need a retreat like this?

08:10: What are the most common themes you see that people need help with, health-wise or mentally?

15:00: Especially for guests from the US, what is the usual length of a wellness journey retreat at Ananda?

17:30: What happens on a typical day? What could a guest expect to be doing from sunrise to sunset?

26:00: When people hear "wellness," they start to wonder about the dining experiences—will they have freedom to choose what they want to eat?

28:00: Can you tell us a little about the cuisine and how it works at Ananda?

30:00: How do you help guests understand and appreciate healthy food, and do you provide education so they can take these lessons home?

32:00: How do you address the common reflex to view healthy food as restrictive or less enjoyable, in order to help guests to instead welcome a change of their perception?

Where should we go to get in touch to learn more about a visit?
