"I have multiple sclerosis, which of course is a very serious condition. My mother suffers greatly from MS, and one of my family members died from it. I stayed at AM Yoga Wellness Center for 21 days. Most important result was that the numbness in my legs began to feel much less, I recovered some of their natural sensitivity. Of course, I am not cured, but still it’s a big deal for me, and sometimes I don’t even notice any problem in my legs at all. Yes, and I began to feel more energetic on both physical and mental levels. This is a great experience I will bring home and follow it on my own. Juice fasting is an absolute miracle. Thank you all!"

"During the [naturopathy] course, I felt light, happy and fit. It gave me confidence to talk about detoxification in a way that I understand, and not the way I have understood from reading books.
Thank you very much to everyone at the center, especially Dada Dharmavedananda. I am a changed person, and I look forward to doing many projects with Ananda Marga Yoga Naturopathy in the future."

"Joining the detox fasting retreat with Ananda Marga in the south coast was a unique experience for me. After the 4th day of juice fast and right after colema (colon cleansing), I experienced a partial recovery of my eyesight and my hearing as well! It was really an astonishing moment as I never had this clarity before. I am a severe diabetic. My sugar level was 28, then 24; from the third day sugar level dropped to 8; then to 5. That is how effective the detox program is. I highly recommend this natural system for those who have chronic illness. More power to the organizer and facilitators."

"Prescription is meant to follow whatever doctor asked us to do. We should follow to get maximum results. Before I had bad body odour and gas with acute bad odour and knee pain – the first two seem to be cured and the knee pain has reduced considerably thanks to massage and hydro-spa. I used to have a chronic cough which now seems to be gone."

"I am the patient of chronic kidney disease, stage 4. My Serum Creatinine is always more than 2 but this time after treatment of Yogic Cikitsa Kendram, Anandanagar my Creatinine is 1.78 and also all the minerals is normal position. Constipation improved and gut pain reduced. There were lots of treatments that I liked – steambath, mud bath, sun bath etc. but I like most steam bath because from this I reduced more toxins. Sweating is coming more in this process from which toxins are coming out. So I liked it most."

"Suffered from Psoriasis since 16 years old. I was 99% cured! If I had another ten days treatment I would have been completely cured! A huge thanks."

"Had lifelong eczema for almost 29 years. By the end of my fast it had subsided close to 90-95%. My skin has regained elasticity and softness. I now know about what types of food to eat, exercises and have lost about 10 kg of weight (after 10 days of breaking fast). Sleeping problems finished and pain in joints hands and feet finished. The food and education was good. Very systematically applied fast gradually and the breaking fast was also systematically done. The prescribed yoga was also educational and seemingly helpful. I appreciate that I can leave this place and better take care of myself."

"I feel much better, no pain in my knees, before 13 years I have this problem. In four days I lost 2 kilos. It was very easy to follow the program. I feel very light."

"*Hip joint pain (right side) – now improved. *Mild dysentery and constipation – now improved, appetite increased. Body feels lighter. *Tumour (benign) in both hands, thigh and waist are softer than before. This Wellness Centre is a very good attempt by the organiser. Though it is small it is well equipped. Staff are very sympathetic to the students. Mainly the balanced diet system and graduated fasting is a very good education for proper health. It should be popularised among the modern urban people, those who are suffering commonly from constipation, acidity, diabetes, obesisty, etc."

"During my raw food fasting I felt physically lighter and was not experiencing anger and negativity as I sometimes used to feel. I became more conscious while eating, remembering to chew my food, and I was more aware what my body really needs. The coaching which I received, which included getting encouragement and feedback whenever required, helped me to follow this programme more strictly. Without it my fasting would have been shorter."

"The results of the fasting programme left me feeling cleaner, lighter and healthy. My skin felt completely new. I also feel more emotionally stable now. I enjoyed the support of the group and the coaching and I became more aware of what my body needs. It was like a retraining for me, how to chew and take time for eating. The spiritual aspect of learning yoga and meditation also helped me and I want to learn more about this."

"The first few days of fasting was more challenging, but as the fast progressed I found my desire for food weakened. Overall I felt more connected with what my body needs and closer to my inner self. The daily coaching sessions helped to overcome any challenges. I learned a lot, such as; not to drink around meals, to eat my liquids and drink my solids and about oil pulling. The fasting and coaching helped to improve my Sadhana practice. Lastly I felt my mood and energy improved by doing sunbath."

"My experience of the fasting is that it’s going very fast. During the fasting my energy goes up and down, as advised walking and keeping the body moving helps. I also found that doing half bath helps me, when feeling tired and sleepy, to feel awake. One thing I noticed that taking honey is not good for my skin. While doing sunbathing it felt good and overall my meditation has improved. I’ll continue liquid fasting for a total period of 2 weeks to improve my skin condition."

"This is my first time to do longer fasting and especially the days when I am working it is sometimes challenging. Definitely the coachining helped me to go through this experience. When I was feeling hungry taking lemon water helped. When I got headaches taking triphala and doing an enema helped as well as doing the yoga postures. I found ‘half bath’ to be a useful practice. I’m more appreciative of food now! I was able to lose a few kilos in weight."

"I enjoyed this programme, especially with the coaching. Previously I had done fasting but it was always something I did on my own. This time I got more of a yogic perspective on fasting and I want to incorporate some of the new things I learnt, for example, doing fasting according to the moon calendar. This time the depth of cleansing was more than previously and I could also meditate longer. I found it useful to keep a daily dairy of my feelings and experiences during these fasting days. For future programmes it would be useful to have more help in ‘Kaosiiki’ and also to have a clear agenda for everyday. Also information could be given in advance, which could be discussed during the coaching session. Like in a marathon I find it helpful not to focus on the final day and goal of your fasting. Like in a marathon you focus one mile at a time, so in fasting one may not want to fix on an end date. This is in case one wants to make the fasting shorter or longer."

“This retreat absolutely gives me a whole new way of inspiring healthy lifestyle. I learnt to live and eat simply in an easy way, which brings real happiness to life. Overall the schedule and arrangement are perfect and we never got bored. I would definitely recommend this to my family and friends and would definitely come back again.”

“The whole experience has been held in a friendly and positive environment with sensitive, caring and highly knowledgable people. I felt completely comfortable from start to finish. The food was incredible and the yoga was incredibly relaxing and centering. I feel wonderful. Thank you.”

"The day retreat at Kate and Madhu's surpassed my expectations! Their home and the entire property was breath-taking with stunning views, amazing atmosphere and beautiful touches. I loved hearing about their attachment and journey with the land and seeing their plans for the future too. I've never heard anyone talk about eco-therapy, yoga, and chakras the way Kate did - it made so much sense! Her knowledge and passion for vegan cooking was also super-inspiring and the food that Madhu and Kate (and their daughter) prepared for us was INCREDIBLE! The group of people on the retreat was conducive to great conversation and connection too! A really brilliant day! Highly recommend spending some time there and I can't wait to go back and spend some more time there!"

"I would like to give a heartfelt thanks to Kate and Madhu for our glorious stay.. It was such a pleasure and honour to stay on their beautiful land. There is so much love and care that has gone into the land and their facilities! We were treated to the most incredibly delicious organic food prepared straight from the garden, which was an experience in itself. Kate's eco therapy and yoga was the best I have ever experienced. Her knowledge is extensive and she is intuitively wise. If you are looking to rejuvenate your heart and soul, this is the place! I knew it was going to be a lovely retreat but they exceeded all expectations. 5 stars is the highest score but I would give it 10 stars if I could! I have felt absolutely amazing since our retreat experience. I’ve been renewed and inspired! So many blessings and much gratitude to Kate and Madhu for opening their door and hearts for such a wonderful experience. I cannot wait to return. The experience is worth its weight in gold!"

"This day retreat was an enjoyable and informative experience. Kate’s held the space for the group gently. Her beautiful mantras brought us back to the group after breakouts, when she would share her knowledge and wisdom graciously. The food that Kate and Madhu prepared was nourishing for the body and soul, as we felt held in a beautiful natural environment with “surround sound” birdsong throughout the day. Simple yoga positions with full explanations of the benefits and wisdom of the positions made it interesting and motivational. Thank you Kate and Madhu for a beautiful day. Kate and Madhu shared their knowledge and wisdom openly. I took away new learnings that I was able to put into practice immediately."

“I can really see the passion and love supporting this facility! It’s so beautiful to see genuine teachers wanting to help people live well… Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am so grateful to have spent time at the Ananda Marga Yoga Wellness Center”

“I came to Prama Wellness with brain fog and a number of ailments with no direction.  I know I am now on the right path.  I have clarity and a sense of purpose.  This practice taught at Prama rings true for me 100%.”

“It was so much more than just a juice fast. I learned a ton about nutrition, Ayurveda, yoga, and meditation. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, and, more importantly, they are just great people.”

“Prama is genuinely a life-changing hidden gem. The facilities are peaceful and comfortable and quickly feel like home.  There is also deep wisdom, experience, and knowledge within those walls.  Our teacher, Roar Ramesh Bjonnes, is one of the most gifted educators you will ever encounter.”
