Swatma Yoga

Set in the idyllic village of Asikkadu is our brand new centre of holistic wellness, Svatma Ramnivas Mayavaram. In our busy lives, it is important to alter both physical and emotional attributes to draw energy and wellness from nature. It is well known that good health is best achieved in consonance with nature. Svatma Ramnivas is an oasis of calm surrounded by lush greenery and organic farms. Our guests enjoy holistic wellness and healing through methods used in Siddha – the ancient system of medicine and healing. This process and practice is designed to encourage self-healing during and well beyond their stay at Svatma Ramnivas. The SVATMA experience is designed as a voyage of discovery of the mind indulging in the luxury of leisure, dabbling with the arts, in a beautiful home environment. At every spot, SVATMA has a personality and there are unique spots to match every mood of every person. A feel of rich fullness and wholesomeness is what you experience in all the comforts provided under one roof. The SVATMA is all about self-surrender to the abundant charms of ancient Tamil Nadu – its arts, architecture culinary heritage and culture. At Svatma, the residency becomes a journey in itself – a voyage of discovery of the self – an ethereal immersion in the arts suspended in time. The spaces are envisioned in a manner most unique to private rooms within a large elegant family home. There are verandas, hallways, lounges and spaces to congregate for the sociable and nooks, bowers and secluded corners for those wanting to retreat. Every spot has personality and there is a spot to match every mood of every soul. Thanjavur, the heart of Indian music and classical dance is where the Indian ‘Veena’ instrument was born and made. The number of ‘frets’ or strings of the Veena, equals that of the human vertebrae and when the instrument is played, each note stirs a physical and emotive connection. At Svatma, we enhance this sensation one step further by utilising the findings of current research, which shows that sound healing synchronises brain waves to achieve a profound state of relaxation and helps to restore the normal vibratory frequencies of the cells in one’s body. The Swaram sound bed Nidra Anantar– a massage table, has been orchestrated to have 50 strings carefully tuned and stretched underneath. A skilled therapist uses a resonator to create vibrations, which nurtures the emotional – physical system. The session will create a deep harmonising effect of pure sound and a deep state of relaxation.
