Our Story

The Heart Behind Ayurtheeram

Ayurtheeram was founded by Anitha and Ramesh, two lifelong practitioners of yoga and Ayurveda. Their vision was simple: to create a place where healing feels personal and every guest is supported with care.

Over the past two decades, Ayurtheeram has grown into a trusted wellness center, welcoming people from around the world.

Anitha and Ramesh are both certified yoga instructors and experienced Ayurvedic therapists, blending knowledge of ancient traditions with modern teaching methods.

Together, they guide students and guests through practices that balance the body, mind, and spirit, offering care that is both insightful and deeply rooted in authenticity.

Today, Ayurtheeram operates its own yoga center in Fort Kochi.

    Amazing yoga and ayurveda place Sir Ramesh is an excellent yoga teacher who knows how to adapt his class to the student's level and abilities. His explanations regarding postures and their benefits are useful and relevant. I thank him wholeheartedly for each session.

    Madam Anitha is an excellent therapist. Her massages do you a lot of good. Thanks to her for all the well-being provided.

    I will come back with pleasure and without any hesitation.

    Had the most wonderful time with Anitha and Ramesh! We first met by doing yoga on their beautiful rooftop with Ramesh! Ramesh is filled with wisdom and conveys it so well while also infusing the class with humour!

    We then did an Ayurvedic massage course the following week with Anitha also in their beautiful home. It was so wonderful to spend so much time with them and gain some of their knowledge! They were so warm and welcomed us in as their own daughters!

    Visiting Ayurtheeram for either yoga or Ayurvedic course if you have more time will undoubtedly be an incredible experience during your time in Kochi

    Hi everyone! I just finished my ayurvedic massage therapist course with Anitha and Ramesh. I am so grateful for them it was a wonderful course, they taught me all kind of massages and I could practice a lot using medicated oils and powders.

    I really recommend this place for study or just to come for a massage)

  • Jodhi Gough

    If you are thinking of going to Fort Kochi and wishing yoga and massage I encourage you to look up Anitha and Ramesh. You will not be disappointed!

    I met this lovely couple back in 2019, and have stayed in touch ever since. On my recent visit to Fort Kochi I was so grateful to complete their Ayurvedic massage course.

    To spend time in Anita's presence, and learn from her has been life changing. Her wisdom, warmth and knowledge is really quite remarkable.

    I am so excited to take this practice back to Tasmania, Australia. Still very much a student, I have the most wonderful support in Anitha. We are part of each other's family now.

    I had a njavarakizhi Ayurvedic massage with Anitha who prepared the herbs grown in her garden. The treatments feel warm and very relaxing. Although the treatment is very messy it feels amazing and silky in your skin, I felt like Cleopatra having a milk bath.

    I felt relaxed and skin nourished after the treatment, I would highly recommend

    This is a great family operated healing center(Ayurveda) and Yoga school, I was so lucky to find them and stay with them for a complete Ayurveda Treatment combined with Hatha Yoga course for beginner that included meditation and breathing exercises.

    The Ayurveda treatment was great and eliminate all the pain from my joins and muscles, now I can breath normally and sleep so much better.

  • 佳維

    We had a nice morning in a nice place. She has a wide range of knowledge and experience.

    Thank you for explaining it to us beginners.

    Thank you for suggesting asanas tailored to preexisting conditions. I’m very satisfied. I would recommend it to my Japanese friends.

  • Aerin

    USA

    I did a 14 day Ayurvedic massage therapy treatment with Anitha. I have to say that it was such a beautiful experience. It helped me to relax not only with a relaxed body and mind, but also a friendship.

    Anitha and Ramesh are wife and husband who own the yoga studio that offers single sessions, multiple day programs (3, 5, 7, 10, 14 days…). Ayurvedic lessons on food/treatments, and yoga. They are kind, knowledgeable, fair and affordable pricing and provide a comfortable atmosphere.

    They welcomed me into their home, were very hospitable and went above and beyond to provide the best service.
