Dr. Satya Shiva serves as Clinical Director of the Yogic Medicine Institute, where she has co-developed and led Integrative Panchakarma (PK) retreats since the early 2000s. Her approach synthesizes classical Ayurvedic purification therapies, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnostics, Qi repatterning, meditative and somatic practices, breathwork, and trauma-informed care into a unified, multidimensional healing model.
A Systems-Based Model for Detoxification
Integrative Panchakarma is grounded in a systems-based understanding of health, bridging classical detoxification protocols with contemporary clinical insights. Each retreat is individually tailored to honor the participant’s:
- Constitution (prakriti)
- Current imbalances (vikriti)
- Environmental and seasonal context
By combining the deep-cleansing intelligence of classical Ayurveda with the multi-system entrainment strategies of Chinese medicine and meditative somatic care, this approach supports the restoration of internal balance across multiple dimensions.
Key areas of focus include:
- Lipid metabolism and endocannabinoid tone regulation
- Neuroendocrine resilience and hormonal balance
- Digestive integrity, agni restoration, and microbiome rebalancing
- Psychosomatic release and emotional realignment through somatic practices
Retreat Format & Core Elements
Each Integrative Panchakarma retreat is tailored to the individual and the season,
blending classical therapies with evidence-informed, multidimodal care
