What is the Perfect Health program?
Perfect Health is a six-day healing process offered each week at The Chopra Center, located in the beautiful coastal town of Carlsbad, California. Deepak Chopra, M.D., and David Simon, M.D., created the Perfect Health program to help you experience relief from your physical pain and the emotional turbulence that often accompanies it.
The Perfect Health program is based on the principles presented in Dr. Chopra’s best-selling book Perfect Health a practical guide to mind-body healing and the practices of Ayurveda – the 5,000-year-old medical system that originated in India.
Each day at Perfect Health, you will experience a customized Ayurvedic massage treatment in the loving hands of our Healing Arts Masters, as well as classes in Primordial Sound Meditation, Ayurveda, stress management, and other mind-body healing practices. The day begins and ends with group meditations and sessions in the Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga.
The cornerstone of the Perfect Health program is Panchakarma, a powerful Ayurvedic cleansing process that helps the body release accumulated toxins and stress. You will receive daily Panchakarma therapies to restore your natural state of balance and calm. Each treatment is tailored to your unique mind-body constitution, using specific essential oils and natural herbs to purify and nurture you at the deepest cellular level.
Another vital aspect of the Perfect Health experience is a one-on-one mind-body consultation with a member of our medical staff, who will make specific recommendations and help you chart a course for creating balance and health in your daily life.

What happens at the Perfect Health program?
Your Perfect Health experience begins on Monday morning with a welcome session where you will meet the Chopra Center educators and massage therapists who will be working with you throughout the week. You will experience your first Ayurvedic massage treatment and begin the Panchakarma cleansing process. Your first class will be an introduction to Primordial Sound Meditation, followed by a special one-on-one session where you will be given your personal mantra. The evening concludes with a group meditation practice and a gentle hatha-style yoga class that will bring you into a state of deep relaxation before you return to your room and drift off to sleep.
In the week that follows, each day begins and ends with sessions in the Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga (all levels) and a group meditation held in the serenity of our meditation room, which has absorbed the peaceful vibrations of thousands of meditators over the years. You will receive an individual schedule for your daily Ayurvedic massage treatments and Panchakarma therapy – as well as for your one-on-one mind-body medical consultation.
All instruction take place in The Chopra Center’s beautiful Dharma room, where you can make yourself comfortable in a seat, backjack, or on the floor with an abundant supply of soft blankets.

You will be pampered with a restorative Ayurvedic massage treatment and continue to replenish your body with herbs, natural foods, meditation, and yoga. Your Perfect Health experience concludes with a special closing ceremony and meditation.

Perfect Health Comments
"It has been 8 months now since I spent a week with the Chopra family in Carlsbad ― eight months of meditation, improved diet, some yoga (I start and stop), and a continuous increase of magic in my life. I may sometimes slip on the diet and exercise, but I do not compromise on the meditation. It is my salvation and part of the sacred manner in which I start and end each day. I wanted to thank you for your teachings and your support. I have come to accept those 'intrusive' thoughts as 'things I can come back to later' as I usher them along and reclaim the stillness. There is so much in that silent space, nothing and everything. Namaste."
—M.J.
"It helped me find the joy I lost this last year while ill."
—Shawn
"I was in physical and emotional pain when I walked into The Chopra Center. I am leaving with a new sense of self, a new perspective on life, and a calm in my soul that I felt only as a child. Thank you."
—Karen G.
“I loved every second of this experience. This is the most healing time I’ve had in my adult life. God bless all of you!”
—Vikram J.
"I walked into The Chopra Center not knowing what to expect. My body was telling me I needed a change. After participating in the Perfect Health Program, I walked out a brand-new me ― mentally, physically, and spiritually. I continue my growth, daily.
