Yoga Vacation ProgramMarch 25 — 27, 2027
Wellness Trends Through the Ayurvedic Lens
What Helps, What Harms & What Depends
Nidhi Pandya
This program is part of The Wisdom of Ayurveda: A Symposium for Whole-Person Healing, March 21-27, 2027
Cold plunges, intermittent fasting, biohacking, wearable health technology, infrared saunas, green powders, longevity supplements—the modern wellness landscape is overflowing with promises of better health, greater energy, and longer life. While some of these practices can be beneficial, others may create imbalance when applied without consideration for an individual’s constitution, age, lifestyle, season, or current state of health. How do we discern what truly supports our well-being?
In this thought-provoking program, Nidhi Bhanshali Pandya brings the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda to today’s most popular wellness trends. Rather than viewing practices as universally “good” or “bad,” Ayurveda teaches us to ask deeper questions: What qualities does this practice increase? Who is it appropriate for? When is it beneficial, and when might it be harmful? Through this nuanced and practical exploration, participants will learn how to move beyond one-size-fits-all wellness advice and cultivate a more personalized, intuitive, and sustainable approach to health. Discover how Ayurveda can help you navigate modern wellness with greater clarity, balance, and confidence.
Offered as 2 satsangs and 2 workshops (subject to change).
The presentations associated with this Yoga Vacation Program begin with an 8pm satsang on the first day of the program and conclude with a 90-minute noon workshop on the last day of the program.

Nidhi Pandya is a New York City–based Ayurvedic practitioner, speaker, educator, and bestselling author of Your Body Already Knows, now translated into nine languages. A third-generation practitioner trained in classical Ayurveda, she is known for making ancient wisdom practical and accessible for modern life. Through her pioneering Inner Climate® Method, she translates the traditional concept of doshas into an intuitive framework for understanding the body, mind, emotions, metabolism, and patterns of imbalance.
Raised in India within a lineage rooted in Vedic philosophy and healing traditions, Nidhi blends classical Ayurveda with modern science, psychology, and circadian health to support sustainable well-being. She serves on the faculty of The Shakti School and teaches globally through courses, retreats, and wellness programs, with additional collaborations through Commune. Her work has been featured in MindBodyGreen, Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar Arabia, and Allure. At the heart of her teaching is a core belief: when given the right conditions, the body already knows how to heal.
