To discover its beneficial qualities, one need only understand that the Ashram is perpetually at full capacity, despite no marketing for 30 years. This is an experience for those wishing a regimented and demanding schedule – a method of chasing your own fine health through conforming to their well-developed techniques. Set amid the Santa Monica Mountains, the Ashram demands cleansing by way of rigorous hikes, restorative yoga and healthy eating. Although clients undergo a consultation on arrival, the programme is uncompromisingly hard-hitting, requiring willpower, but non-competitive and compassionate. The accommodation is suitably unspoiling, nestled in a tranquil canyon. Go in drained, give your all, come out renewed – sounds silly, but the results are undeniable.
