Why Winter Is the Best Season to Reset at Six Senses Vana

As winter invites a natural return to stillness, Six Senses Vana offers a serene setting in the Himalayan foothills for guests to slow down, cleanse, and realign. Set within a 21-acre sal forest, the wellness retreat is known for integrating traditional healing systems with personalised care, making it an ideal sanctuary for meaningful transformation during the colder months.

At Vana, every guest begins with a wellness screening and a tailored program crafted by expert physicians, Ayurvedic doctors, Tibetan medicine practitioners, nutritionists, and yoga specialists ensuring a holistic approach that honours both seasonal rhythms and individual needs.

Ayurveda at Six Senses Vana is rooted in authentic practice, with personalised treatment plans based on an individual’s dosha. During winter, the retreat’s Ayurvedic offerings including its intensive Panchakarma program support detoxification, improved digestion, immunity building, and deep rejuvenation. Warm therapies, herbal treatments, and a nourishing Ayurvedic cuisine create an environment that naturally complements the season’s restorative energy.

Six Senses Vana’s Detox program offers a gentle, yet effective full body reset. Blending yogic cleansing, functional nutrition, low-intensity movement, and detoxifying treatments, the program helps clear physical stagnation often felt in winter. Guests experience improved metabolic balance, mental clarity, and renewed energy, making it a thoughtful seasonal recalibration.

Vana is one of the few retreats in the world to offer the complete Tibetan healing system. Under the guidance of traditionally trained Amchis, guests undergo ancient diagnostic techniques and receive therapies that combine herbal preparations, warm oil treatments, and natural healing methods. These therapies are particularly grounding in winter, helping calm the mind, balance emotions, and strengthen inner resilience.

Yoga at Vana brings together movement, breathwork, meditation, and energy practices. Winter sessions focus on cultivating warmth, stability, and mental focus. The retreat’s Yogic Detox pathway further supports cleansing and clarity, making yoga a key pillar of seasonal wellbeing.

For travellers seeking intention over indulgence, winter at Six Senses Vana becomes an opportunity to reset patterns, restore balance, and build sustainable wellbeing habits. Its integrated approach spanning Ayurveda, Tibetan medicine, yoga, mindful movement, and nutritional support offers a deep, holistic route to winter healing.
