Surya Samudra has an Ayurvedic massage centre and a yoga centre whose treatments customers swear by.

The word Ayurveda is composed of two terms. 'Ayus' means 'life' and 'Veda' means the knowledge or 'Science'. Thus, Ayurveda means the science of life. Ayurveda lays a great deal of emphasis upon the maintenance of positive health of an individual.

Ayurveda evolved around 600 BC in India. Ayurveda has been practiced ever since. Today, it is a unique, indispensable branch of medicine - a complete naturalistic system that depends on the diagnosis of the body's systems, to achieve the right balance.

Ayurveda believes in the treatment of not just the affected part, but also of the individual as a whole. It is a natural way to refresh oneself, to eliminate all toxic imbalances from the body and thus to regain resistance and good health.

Kerala's equable climate, natural abundance of forests (with a wealth of herbs and medicinal plants), and the cool monsoon season (June - November) are best suited for Ayurveda curative and restorative packages. Traditional texts reveal that the monsoon is the best season for rejuvenation programmes. The atmosphere remains dust-free and cool, opening the pores of the body to the maximum, making it most receptive to herbal oils and therapy.

"Exclusive features at the beach resort include an Ayurvedic centre and a cultural centre."
Radha Radhakrishnan, THE BUSINESS LINE, 04.03.1996

Surya Samudra keeps Kerala's Ayurvedic medicine alive in an uninterrupted tradition on a luxurious scale. After a consultation, one can choose from a variety of soothing treatments. An expert massage using traditional medicinal oils prepared from natural ingredients by the masseur can be enjoyed. Excellent results with all types of pains in the joints and the muscles, and with prophylactics and relief from rheumatism and arthritis have been seen.

Yoga and Meditation : Mental and physical exercises meant to isolate the ego from the body and mind - designed to hone your concentration, improve health and help attain peace of mind through eight stages of training:

• Disciplined behavior (yama)

• Self purification (niyama)

• Bodily postures such as the lotus position (asana)

• Control of breathing (pranayama)

• Control of the senses (pratyahara)

• Fixing of the mind on a chosen object (dharana)

• Meditation (dhyana)

• Samadhi - a state of being where you experience absolute tranquility and well-being.

In Surya Samudra, yoga is offered as beginners and advanced batches, both for individuals and for small groups.
