Manashanti: Stress & Sleep

Manashanti: Ayurveda for Stress, Burnout & Sleep

Duration line: 5 days · 7 days

Description

Manashanti means peace of mind. Long hours, screens and constant pressure leave many people wired but exhausted, and struggling to sleep. This programme uses Kerala’s most calming therapies, Shirodhara and Takradhara, together with meditation, Nidra Yoga and guided conversations, to help your nervous system slow down and your sleep return.

Who it's for

How Layam approaches it:

Your doctor begins by understanding your routine, sleep pattern and stress triggers, then plans therapies to calm an overactive mind. Days are deliberately quiet, with limited screen time encouraged. Alongside the therapies, you learn simple breathing, meditation and sleep habits you can keep using at home.

Therapies included

Shirodhara: a continuous stream of warm herbal oil poured over the forehead, known for its deep calming effect
Takradhara: a cooling variation of Shirodhara using medicated buttermilk, traditionally used for sleeplessness and mental strain
Abhyangam: a warm full-body oil massage to release physical tension
Meditation: daily guided sessions to quiet the mind
Nidra Yoga: guided deep relaxation, practised lying down, to help the body learn to rest
Counselling: one-to-one conversations on stress, routine and sleep
