ABOUT PANCHAKARMA
What is Panchakarma?
Panchakarma is Ayurveda's most comprehensive detoxification and rejuvenation program, designed to eliminate deep-seated toxins while restoring your body's natural balance. Unlike modern detox trends, Panchakarma is a 5,000-year-old science that uses personalized treatments, specialized diets, and therapeutic practices to cleanse your body, mind, and spirit. At Oneworld Ayurveda, our Panchakarma programs range from 7 to 21 days, with each program uniquely tailored to your individual health concerns, wellness goals, and Ayurvedic constitution.
This transformative process goes far beyond simple cleansing – it's a complete reset that addresses the root causes of imbalance. Upon arrival, our resident Ayurvedic doctors conduct thorough consultations to assess your dosha (bio-energy) and create a personalized treatment plan specifically for you. Through carefully orchestrated daily treatments, customized herbal medicines, and therapeutic diets designed for your unique needs, Panchakarma safely guides your body through profound healing, leaving you feeling renewed, energized, and deeply restored.
What did Oneworld Retreats transition to Oneworld Ayurveda?
Since 2022, Oneworld Retreats has been redesigned and relaunched as Oneworld Ayurveda Ubud, offering authentic Panchakarma programs as the sister company to Oneworld Ayurveda Tegallalang. Our Tegallalang location has operated since 2016 and has become renowned as a premier healing destination in Southeast Asia, with thousands of guests experiencing life-changing transformations.
This evolution reflects our commitment to providing deeper, more therapeutic healing experiences. Our programs are rooted in authentic Ayurvedic science and overseen by resident doctors from India, ensuring both safety and effectiveness. Unlike generic wellness programs, our Panchakarma treatments are personalized based on your unique constitution and health needs.
By partnering with our established Tegallalang center, we bring decades of expertise in Ayurvedic healing to our peaceful Ubud location, offering guests access to genuine, traditional treatments in a serene tropical setting.

ABOUT THE YOGA RETREATS
What is the difference between a yoga retreat and a Panchakarma detox program?
Yoga retreats are led by our in-house or guest yoga teachers. Each teacher offers different styles of yoga, teaching, and experiences—some retreats include trips around the island or a deeper dive into your personal development. As part of your retreat, you will have a choice of Ayurvedic or traditional treatments and be served delicious, healthy meals throughout. With a variety of retreats on offer, you can find one that is perfectly suited to your needs.
A Panchakarma is directed by our Ayurvedic physicians, who upon arrival will assess your bio-energy (Dosha) and create a tailored program to restore balance and address any health conditions you may have. While you will still practice yoga, it is a softer form of yoga as during a Panchakarma you can’t exert yourself too much. Similarly, during a Panchakarma gentle walks around the surrounding area are fine, but trips into town or further away should be avoided as external stimuli can affect the healing process.
You will have twice-daily Ayurvedic treatments and eat a variety of nutritious and balancing Ayurvedic meals as prescribed by our physicians.
Can I host my own retreat at your location?
While we no longer offer traditional yoga retreats at our Ubud location, we now specialize in hosting Panchakarma detox retreats through our sister company, Oneworld Ayurveda Ubud. We welcome wellness professionals, Ayurvedic practitioners, yoga teachers, and group leaders to host their own authentic Panchakarma retreats at our peaceful center.
We offer flexible hosting options for groups of 3-11 people, or private bookings for 12+ guests with exclusive use of our entire facility. Our hosting program includes resident Ayurvedic doctors, personalized treatment protocols, and all the infrastructure needed for a successful retreat. For detailed information about hosting your own Panchakarma retreat, please visit our Private Panchakarma Group page.
What’s included in our retreat?

Should I bring anything special for retreats?

However, one can practice yoga without these. A t-shirt and pair of shorts are fine for yoga. If the retreat includes a blessing ceremony we suggest that you take along a white shirt with sleeves.
We have enough yoga mats at the centre, yet you may want to bring your own. We also have a shop selling an assortment of eco-friendly TPE mats and Natural Rubber mats, as well as yoga clothing and supplies to assist you in your yoga practice!

I am pregnant – can I still join a retreat?
Not all yoga styles practiced in the retreats are suitable for expecting mothers. Of course, you may join a retreat, but we strongly recommend that you get approval from your doctor beforehand. During the retreat, you can adjust your poses based on your capability but it is important that you understand that you are responsible for any risks you are taking.

No, we do not offer yoga teacher training.
