SreeChithra Yoga Theeram 4* is an Ayurvedic clinic located in the charming coastal town of Chavakkad in Kerala. It was founded by Dr. Madhusudanan (Dr. Madhu). The SreeChithra group of clinics is owned by a family with over 400 years of tradition in Ayurvedic medicine.

Resort Overview

A distinctive feature of SreeChithra Yoga Theeram is its location. The retreat is set within a well-maintained, lush green property in close proximity to the sea. The grounds include a freshwater swimming pool equipped with loungers and sun umbrellas.

Promoting Ayurveda both internationally and within India is a core mission of SreeChithra.

SreeChithra Yoga Theeram is one of the newer clinics in Kerala (opened in 2019), offering personalised treatment programs, yoga sessions, Kalaripayattu martial arts classes, and, of course, traditional Kerala hospitality at its finest.

This is an authentic eco-retreat designed in a traditional Kerala style. The interiors feature natural wood and stone, creating a naturally cool and comfortable atmosphere.

A key characteristic of SreeChithra Yoga Theeram is its intimate scale—only 20 rooms—which ensures highly personalised attention for every guest.
