A Duchess finds Spiritual Healing in India

Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, checked into the Soukya Holistic Health Centre for some R&R ahead of her trip to Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea. Apparently she and her husband, Prince Charles, stayed in the same 3,500 pounds per night suite during the 2010 Commonwealth Games. It shows how popular and accepted alternative healing practices have become when a duchess finds spiritual healing in India.
 
Although the couple were on an official visit, that trip, like the current one, was paid for by her husband and did not cost taxpayers, aside from the cost of her Scotland Yard security team.
The retreat claims to be a ‘unique facility that helps restore the natural balance of your mind, body and spirit’.
It is set within a 30-acre organic farm and guests follow a strict ovo-vegetarian diet, paying around £140 a day for a range of different treatments.
They include ‘hydrowashes’, reflexology, and a ‘four-hand’ Ayurvedic massage carried out by two female therapists.

Although this is supposedly a secret retreat for her, comments about her last visit in 2010 have been made public such as the fact that she was able to do even the difficult yoga poses easily and that she liked the oil massages best. I wish her well and am grateful my own life is not such an open book. If you would like to know more about this retreat center, here is their website: http://soukya.com/ There is a picture of Camilla on the home page. The word, "soukya" means health and well-being in Sanskrit.
