Ayurveda Health Retreat

I stayed for a week. Panchakarma and Wellness. Emily made booking seamless and was not pressuring at all.
Jonathan holds the best yoga and informative classes.
Melba is so warm and kind
Yugola is so sweet and all around amazing. Makes cooking fun!
Same for so many more staff members, that seem valued as family.
The best treatments I have received in my life. I cannot wait to go back.
Such genuine, wholesome, intentional people. It was felt and recognized.

Love this one place so much and went there with my daughters. Have been there 3 times. They added upgrades to the rooms and now the beds linens robes and blankets are even cozier than ever. The massages and other treatments are very therapeutic and unique. I especially adore Sunflower, who does massage and came for a healing morning with spiritual gifts tying our mother daughter retreat together with messages and experiences in assisting and encouraging us to release the old generational stories and traumas and make room for new choices for today . Vegetarian food is mostly yummy, but you will be eating LOTS of lentils ! Yoga with Jonathan was delightful and I had a very healing true deep tissue massage with Erin, which was great! Dan and Emily were quite strategic in adapting to anything we needed or wanted to change ,and aim to please,,which was especially appreciated. This is a hidden gem that I would highly recommend!

This was an outstanding experience all around. Grateful for Emily, Dan, the chefs, Molly, and Sunflower. The support, food, treatments, and overall vibe was life changing!

I attended the grief retreat and it was glorious. This is a special place and I've been blessed by the work that's done here.

This place is wonderful for those looking to disconnect from the day-to-day and connect with themselves. The retreat center offers such a calming space that allows you to fully rest. You feel the spirituality and connectivity around all practices- from the services, to the classes, to the programs, to the food that is served. Every area is clean and spotless! The living plants within the studio were such a lovely touch. Everyone is so kindhearted and gentle. Truly feels like a space you can heal and be with yourself. After having my Ayurvedic massage, I felt so calm, in-tune and present. It was such a profound experience. So grateful to have found the Ayurveda Health Retreat Center. After this, I will be expanding my knowledge in Ayurveda and will be returning later this year. Highly recommend this space!

I spent 4 glorious, relaxing, recharging days at the Ayuvedic Health Retreat. Everything is clean, organized and well done. The yoga classes offered different facets of yoga each day. The staff was delightful. Food was delicious and soothing. The evening events were pleasant and informative. The treatments were indescribably wonderful. There was some down time to explore the cool things in Gainsville and surrounding areas and to do some self-reflection. For me, it was a perfect few days.

This is the perfect 'get away', I love this place for many reasons: Peaceful, Clean, Organized, Friendly, Organic Food-meals are so healthy. I could never attempt to prepare and cook these meals, as the cooks spend hours in the kitchen, putting as much love into them as they do into the ingredients. Also, I never sleep as well at home, but I will incorporate the techniques I learned during my visit to help with my sleep. Jonathan (yoga teacher) told me to get in touch with a TM teacher in my area last time and I did and have been using TM on a regular basis. Thank you a million times over for what you offer, just incredible (10 stars).

Absolutely wonderful. The whole stay was just perfect. Love the place, the staff and treatments. Highly recommend it.

My friend and I stumbled across this gem on our trip to Alachua and we will definitely be back! We were only able to do a two-day retreat, but can't wait to stay longer next time. The Ayurvedic treatments are next level!! You can tell everyone who works here is deeply committed to the service of others. They are friendly, professional, and grounded. The food is healthy but also extremely flavorful and delicious. I left this retreat feeling so much more embodied and strengthened. 10/10 would recommend!

I visited the Ayurveda Health Retreat for five days in November of 2025. From the moment I arrived and Dan greeted me, I was treated with warmth, friendship and professionalism. The room I stayed in was beautiful and comfortable. Yoga classes are small and individualized. Johnathan is the most amazing instructor!! I had spa treatments with Sunflower (reflexology foot massage and cranial sacral), Sachi (Panchakarma), a cooking class with Yugula, who was an absolute joy - and a health consult with Omkar that was very thorough and enlightening. Each practitioner is incredibly knowledgeable. And the food!! Healthy and delicious. I am not a vegan or vegetarian, but I could taste the loving effort that went into each meal, and the experience has changed what and how I eat, in a very meaningful way. The chefs are so talented and friendly! The town of Alachua is pretty, with little shops and places to either walk or sit and reflect. All of this at a surprisingly affordable price. I hope to make this an annual trip!!
