Iyami Living is a boutique Ayurveda and wellness retreat located in the historic heart of Fort Kochi, Kerala, just behind the iconic Santa Cruz Basilica. Formerly known as Thamaraa Wellness, the retreat has evolved into a contemporary wellness destination while preserving its strong foundation in classical Ayurveda, Yoga, and holistic healing. Nestled amidst the heritage streets of Fort Kochi, Iyami Living combines Kerala's centuries-old healing traditions with modern wellness practices, creating a peaceful sanctuary for travellers seeking preventive healthcare, therapeutic healing, and mindful living. Guided by qualified Ayurvedic physicians and a team experienced in both the clinical and hospitality sectors across India and Europe, the retreat follows an integrated and guest-centred approach that blends authentic Ayurvedic therapies, Yoga, nutrition, and lifestyle modifications to promote long-term physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. The property specialises in personalised wellness rather than conventional spa experiences, offering carefully designed programs that address both preventive healthcare and chronic health concerns through evidence-based Ayurvedic principles.
Dining at Iyami Living follows the timeless principles of Ayurvedic nutrition, recognising food as an essential component of healing and disease prevention. Every meal is carefully planned according to each guest's body constitution, treatment objectives, digestive capacity, and seasonal requirements following consultation with the Ayurvedic physician. The culinary philosophy combines traditional Ayurvedic dietary wisdom with wholesome Kerala cuisine while also offering selected South Indian, European, vegetarian, and non-vegetarian preparations where appropriate. During therapeutic programs, meals are individually customised to complement the prescribed treatments, maximise digestive efficiency, enhance detoxification, and support recovery. The intimate dining environment encourages mindful eating, allowing guests to appreciate balanced flavours, natural ingredients, and carefully prepared meals that nourish both body and mind while reinforcing the overall healing process.
Reflecting the heritage of Kerala's uninterrupted Ayurvedic tradition, Iyami Living provides an intimate and peaceful environment designed for focused healing and rejuvenation. The retreat offers a selection of comfortable accommodation, including Deluxe Air-Conditioned Double Rooms, Deluxe Double Rooms with Private Balcony, and Deluxe Twin Rooms, each thoughtfully designed with modern amenities to provide a relaxing residential experience within the cultural setting of Fort Kochi. The property's boutique scale creates a calm and personalised atmosphere where every guest receives attentive care throughout the wellness journey. Its location enables visitors to enjoy the historic charm of Fort Kochi while remaining immersed in a medically guided wellness environment that prioritises healing, privacy, and personalised service.
The medical philosophy at Iyami Living is centred on the belief that Ayurveda is not merely a treatment system but a complete way of life that helps prevent illness while restoring the body's natural balance. Every wellness journey begins with a detailed consultation by an experienced Ayurvedic physician, where each guest's Prakriti (body constitution), medical history, lifestyle, dietary habits, and health objectives are carefully assessed before developing an individualised treatment plan. The therapeutic approach combines Ayurvedic medicines, Panchakarma therapies, Marma therapy, therapeutic massages, Yoga, Pranayama, meditation, herbal remedies, nutrition, colour therapy, aromatherapy, and lifestyle counselling to support comprehensive healing. The retreat offers specialised programs for Complete Detox, Panchakarma, Weight Management, Stress Management, Kayakalpa (Age-Defying Program), Autoimmune Disorders, Post Cancer Recovery, musculoskeletal disorders, lifestyle disorders, skin conditions, fatigue management, and rejuvenation. Treatments are further enhanced through personalised dietary recommendations and sustainable lifestyle corrections, enabling guests to continue their wellness journey beyond their stay.
The retreat is led by Dr. Preethy E. C., BAMS, a highly experienced Ayurvedic Physician and Certified Yoga Trainer, who brings more than fourteen years of clinical expertise in Ayurveda and Yoga Therapy across India and the United Kingdom. A graduate of Pankajakasthuri Ayurveda Medical College, Thiruvananthapuram, and a certified Yoga trainer from the renowned Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Dhanwantari Ashram, Dr. Preethy specialises in the management of autoimmune disorders, musculoskeletal conditions, lifestyle diseases, skin disorders, stress management, and healthy weight reduction. She is widely recognised for her expertise in Ayurvedic Nutrition and Culinary Education, having conducted over one hundred hours of professional training for healthcare practitioners and wellness enthusiasts. Her distinctive clinical approach integrates traditional Ayurvedic therapies with carefully planned nutrition, preventive healthcare, and lifestyle optimisation, allowing guests to achieve sustainable improvements in their physical health, emotional wellbeing, and overall quality of life. She has also developed integrated therapeutic techniques that thoughtfully combine traditional Ayurvedic procedures with selected contemporary wellness therapies while maintaining the authenticity of Ayurvedic principles.
Complementing its therapeutic programs, Iyami Living integrates Yoga, breathing practices (Pranayama), meditation, wellness education, and lifestyle guidance into the daily routine, enabling guests to experience a comprehensive approach to holistic wellbeing. Wellness consultations extend beyond physical treatments by educating guests on the appropriate use of herbs, spices, oils, nutrition, breathing techniques, stress management practices, and healthy daily routines that can be sustained long after returning home. Guests exploring the cultural heritage of Fort Kochi may also participate in Wellness Therapy Sessions, offering authentic doctor-guided Ayurvedic treatments lasting between one and three hours, making them particularly suitable for travellers with limited time. Additionally, optional sightseeing and heritage experiences around Fort Kochi are available for those wishing to combine cultural exploration with restorative wellness. Through its harmonious integration of authentic Ayurveda, Yoga, personalised nutrition, and preventive healthcare, Iyami Living offers a meaningful wellness experience where Kerala's ancient healing wisdom is thoughtfully adapted to contemporary lifestyles, helping guests achieve lasting health, vitality, and inner balance.
