A Healing Ayurvedic Journey at The Leela Kovalam, A Raviz Hotel

Curated by India Holistic Retreats, Subsidiary of Globes Travel

In the fast-paced rhythm of modern life, women often carry a heavy load of emotional, mental, and physical stress. Responsibilities, social expectations, and personal pressures can accumulate, overwhelming the nervous system and affecting overall wellbeing. Ayurveda recognises the importance of emotional equilibrium and offers time-tested practices to restore balance, calm the mind, and rejuvenate the nervous system.

Santulan Calm, offered exclusively at The Leela Kovalam, A Raviz Hotel, is a serene Ayurvedic wellness program designed specifically for women seeking emotional balance and nervous system harmony. This carefully curated program combines traditional Ayurvedic therapies with modern mind–body approaches to create a restorative experience that nurtures both body and mind. Facilitated by India Holistic Retreats, a subsidiary of Globes Travel, Santulan Calm empowers women to release accumulated stress, stabilise moods, and rediscover inner peace in a luxurious, serene environment.

The Ayurvedic Approach to Emotional Balance

Ayurveda views emotional health as an intrinsic part of overall wellbeing. Mental and emotional stress disrupts the balance of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha doshas, particularly Vata, which governs the nervous system. This imbalance can manifest as anxiety, irritability, insomnia, hormonal fluctuations, digestive disturbances, and chronic fatigue.

Santulan Calm focuses on restoring dosha balance while simultaneously:

  • Calming the nervous system
  • Regulating stress hormones
  • Enhancing emotional resilience
  • Promoting restful sleep
  • Improving mental clarity and focus

By harmonising mind and body, participants experience a profound sense of stability, clarity, and inner calm.

A Healing Sanctuary at The Leela Kovalam

Set atop the serene cliffs overlooking the Arabian Sea, The Leela Kovalam provides an ideal backdrop for deep relaxation and introspection. The gentle sea breeze, soothing sound of waves, and tranquil surroundings enhance the effects of Ayurvedic therapies, allowing women to fully immerse in the healing process.

Santulan Calm is guided by a team of compassionate women practitioners, including Ayurvedic doctors, therapists, and wellness coaches, ensuring personalised care tailored to each participant’s emotional and physiological needs.

Core Components of Santulan Calm

The program begins with a detailed evaluation to understand:

  • Dosha constitution
  • Emotional patterns and stress triggers
  • Hormonal balance
  • Sleep cycles and fatigue levels
  • Previous experiences with anxiety or mood fluctuations

This assessment forms the basis of a personalised wellness plan designed to target nervous system regulation and emotional stability.

2. Restorative Ayurvedic Therapies

Santulan Calm employs a range of calming therapies to gently soothe the nervous system:

  • Shirodhara – a flowing stream of warm herbal oil poured over the forehead to reduce mental tension and improve sleep
  • Abhyanga – full-body warm oil massage to relieve muscular and nervous tension, improve circulation, and promote relaxation
  • Herbal steam therapy – gentle detoxification for mind and body
  • Pinda Sweda – herbal compress therapy to ease fatigue and restore vitality

These therapies enhance parasympathetic activity, promoting deep relaxation and emotional regulation.

3. Mindful Breathing & Meditation

Mind–body practices form a critical component of Santulan Calm:

  • Guided Pranayama (breathing exercises) for nervous system balance
  • Mindfulness meditation to cultivate awareness and reduce rumination
