At the end of your programme, you will have a practice, a daily rhythm and an understanding of your constitution that you carry for life.

14-Day Transformation

Paksha · The fortnight of change
Two weeks is where genuine transformation begins. The body has adapted, the routine has taken root, and Sumit can see how your Prakriti responds and adjust accordingly. The dietary changes become habits. The morning practice becomes non-negotiable. The second week is where the shift happens.

Trimshat · The classical reset
In Ayurveda, 21 days is considered the minimum time required to establish a genuine habit at the level of the nervous system. This programme is built around that truth — three weeks of complete immersion that rebuilds your relationship with your body from scratch. Most popular with clients recovering from serious burnout or significant health transitions.

A day in the programme

Morning · The foundation
6:00 am
Dinacharya ritual
Oil pulling, tongue scraping, warm water with lemon and ginger — the Ayurvedic morning purification routine. Taught once, practised for life.
6:30 am
Pranayama
Your dosha-specific breathwork — 20 minutes of Nadi Shodhana, Kapalabhati or Sitali depending on your Prakriti. This sets the tone for the entire day.
7:00 am
Yoga practice
90-minute personalised yoga session with Sumit. Sequence evolves daily as he observes how your body responds. No two sessions are identical.
8:30 am
Ayurvedic breakfast
Warm, dosha-appropriate breakfast. Sumit plans your meals and guides the food preparation — teaching you not just what to eat but how to cook for your constitution.
Afternoon & evening · The unwind
12:30 pm
Midday meal & rest
The main meal of the day — the time when Ayurveda says digestion is strongest. A short rest after eating is built into the schedule.
3:00 pm
Self-practice or session
Independent practice with Sumit observing — building the skill of practising alone. Alternatively a second session on days when specific work is needed.
5:30 pm
Meditation & journalling
Guided meditation — Antar Mouna, Yoga Nidra or Trataka depending on the day — followed by journalling on Sumit’s prompts. Self-inquiry is part of the practice.
7:00 pm
Light supper & wind-down
Early, light evening meal. No screens after 8pm. Sleep protocol begins at 9:30pm. Consistent early sleep is one of the most transformative elements of the entire programme.
