Chopra Center For Wellbeing

The Chopra center is truly a sweet center in this universe. I enjoyed the peace spiritual awakening atmosphere, wonderful massages and soul touching meditation. I love this place and very glad it’s located around San Diego.

The 6 day Perfect Health program was the most valuable experience I ever had. I fully experience now how it feels to have peace and clarity in my body, mind and spirit. The meditation, treatments, classes, yoga and meals are in perfect synchronicity. The facilitators, staff and therapists are just angels…
Continuing on my journey with the other programs, no doubt.

RUN don’t walk to the Chopra Center for Wellbeing in Carlsbad, CA. Nestled in the sprawling Omni La Costa Resort, the Chopra Center offers an amazing experience in the world of mind-​body-​spirit enrichment. Imagine spending the day engaging in yoga, meditation and spiritual practice and luxuriating in the Ayurvedic spa along with access to the resort amenities. The instructors at the Chopra Center use their beautifully crafted expertise to either enrich your current practices or to provide you with a top notch intro into the mind-​body-​spirit paradigm. The staff is warm, welcoming and friendly. With a variety of programs offered year round in picture-​perfect weather, the Chopra Center has something for everybody. This was one of the best vacations I ever had and I plan on returning as much as possible. Namaste!

I just finished the 6 day Perfect Health at the Chopra Center. Words cannot justify the amazing week. I have met some of the most beautiful people in my life who want to be there to help you. A sanctuary of gratitude, grace, and peace with like minded people. The 6 days spent has been the best place to teach me with tools to start my journey. Thank you, Chopra Center. I will hold everything you awakened me to near and dear in my heart.

My husband and I first traveled to the Chopra Center in December 2014 to participate in the «Spiritual Solutions» program. Prior to the start of the workshop we received instruction in Primordial Sound Meditation and had the opportunity to practice it on a daily basis. Each session was well planned, speakers were excellent and the inclusion of daily yoga and meditation made for a truly incredible experience that helped us grow as individuals and as a couple. By the end of the event I was «hungry» for more so I signed up to attend two more programs, «Seduction of Spirit» and «Perfect Health». Although, Seduction of Spirit was a much larger event, the caring and professional staff had the ability to make it feel as special and intimate as it was. The speakers and lessons they imparted were informative and inspirational and Dr. Chopra’s daily discussions were riveting! The Ayurvedic meals were delicious and made even more enjoyable with the knowledge that I was fueling my body with wholesome food! If you are interested in learning how to meditate or delving deeper into meditation, I highly recommend this retreat!
I just returned from my third visit to the Chopra Center where I attended the 6 day «Perfect Health» program. If I could choose just one word to describe the staff and program it would be «impeccable». And one word to describe my feelings about the experience would be «gratitude». From the first moment our small group of 30 was put at ease and guided by the very capable staff as we began a gentle week-​long cleanse while we immersed ourselves in learning about our own mind-​body constitutions (doshas) and how to naturally achieve balance by living an Ayurvedic lifestyle. The medical doctor I met with individually was extremely attentive as I described my current lifestyle and health goals. She provided several recommendations and resources that I will use as I continue on my path to mind-​body wellness. And I can’t say enough good things about the daily body treatments we received. We were educated about each treatment and how they were designed to help balance our doshas. The massage therapists are true healers and provided a blissful experience!
Many thanks to the Chopra Center staff! I look forward to my next visit! Namaste.

This was the highest quality concentration of information for mind, body & soul in the most loving environment. All of the staff are extremely knowledgeable & caring in the detail of work provided to each guest.

First let me say that it has been over 5 years since I’ve been there, but I so wanted to love it and was disappointed at how run down it was. Now it still has «run down» complaints from 2014. There is definitely a peaceful but sometimes ghostly feeling there. I hope to visit again soon and discover a well-​cared for place with attention to more details which allow someone to better focus on their health and well-​being.

Just completed a 3 day program and look forward to going back in March for their Perfect Health program. What a wonderful and authentic group of people to share space with.

I just completed the 10 day Perfect Health program. It was a truly wonderful, life changing experience. I have done yoga and meditated on and off for years however after completing this program I realize that the one piece that was missing for me was «meaning». The incredible staff delivered material, information, studies and experiences which allowed me to deeply connect to desiring better self care. I now feel that I understand why I want to meditate and do yoga. Since returning back to my home on the East Coast, I feel much calmer and more able to handle unpredictable life events.
The therapeutic services were incredible. I was fortunate to have experienced a variety of them and loved them all. I loved being able to use the spa and take a steam and sauna after my massages.
The LaCosta property was really beautiful. There are large fountains situated in such a way that you can hear the water flowing throughout the central grounds area.
Before I completed my program I signed up for two more Chopra events that are taking place over the next 6 months. I feel truly grateful.

I just completed the 6-​day Perfect Health Program, and now that I look back I know there was no better way I could have started the New Year! I learned so much from all of the speakers and staff, and had some pretty fabulous treatments as well. This is the place to go if you are looking to improve your life, learn more about yourself, and get a little pampering along the way.

I just completed the relaxation meditation retreat weekend.
I started meditating with the 21 day meditations from face book.
I wanted to confirm that I was doing it right.
Fantastic experience. I cannot express how nice every person was. They truly want you to have the best life possible.
My room was beautiful and extremely clean. Most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in.
The holiday decorations were breathtakingly beautiful!
I went alone and I felt completely safe at all times.
I met some fantastic women.
If I were ever to go again– I would bring peanut butter and jelly and bread. the market place is quite expensive to eat at every meal.
Disappointed there wasn’t a refrigerator or microwave in the room.

I was gifted a Rest and Restore Retreat by loved ones and attended with no preconceived notions or expectations. This was hands down one of the most meaningful and transformational experiences of my life. In three days I was handed practical tools (gifts) to balance my life. I’ve never meditated or tried yoga before my visit. They are integral parts of my day now. The staff at the Chopra Center are so passionate and caring. If you need a little life reboot, or simply pampering, then this is the place. You will leave relaxed and invigorated at the same time. Daily massage, a 90 minute Doctor consultation, and practical discussions were just the icing on the cake. I cannot wait to return for another amazing experience.

Participated in the PERFECT HEALTH program recently.
It was meaningful, relevant and I dare say — fantastic.
It was a gift to myself for another year traveled around the sun and I couldn’t have picked a better present. Would do it again … and probably will. Have already recommended it to my most cherished people.
Wish that I could wrap up a gift of appropriate thanks and mail it to the Chopra Center and all the amazing staff who work there for the truly divine inspiration which they provided me.
Many thanks.

We are enjoying our stay at this beautiful resort is been so relaxing and the Chopra center is beautiful totally worth visiting.

This is a review for their massage service only. I have no idea what their programs and classes are like. I hope they are not as expensive as their massages.
Thankfully, my lovely friend got me a gift certificate here. I think I’d be too frugal to spend the $ 205 for the one-​hour massage. I’m glad I got this experience though. It was nice, really nice.
I was a little turned off by the gift shop right when you walk in. It’s like, «Hey, time to relax, but first you should buy some shit.» I just kind of browsed and eavesdropped on some conversations about special oils. They showed me to a little «library» seating area with a sign that said I could not use my cell phone. I texted my husband and did not get kicked out. I was stealthy. Without my phone to entertain me, I picked up a book all about how depression can be cured without medication. I think, maybe, the author has not met a truly depressed person. I digress.
The massage itself was great. It was an hour, but my masseuse went over by 15 minutes. At the usual place I visit for massages, they have a hard stop at the 50-​minute mark. I felt like I was getting away with something. I don’t usually have male masseuses, but Bill was super professional and very knowledgeable of anatomy and body mechanics. I’m very active so my muscles are always in desperate need of attention.
WARNING: They are big fans of oil here. This is probably why the massages are expensive. I think Bill used $ 100 worth of oil on my massage alone. I have never felt so greasy in my life. I do NOT recommend washing your hair BEFORE you come for a massage. And I do NOT recommend wearing makeup. I did both of these things and just had to take another shower later because I felt so gross. And, really, it took another shower the next day to get all the oil out of my hair. I’m sure you can ask that they don’t oil up your head, but I didn’t want to interrupt «their flow.»
What’s great is that with your massage, you get full access to the resort’s spa. You should really plan a half-​day here so you can use the sauna and pool area and just relax. No reason to rush!

I went to the Chopra Center in May 2014 for a week of perfect health and am happy to say it changed my life for the better. My main goal was to learn how to meditate. I now meditate at least (usually twice) a day. Since leaving the center and incorporating meditation into my busy lifestyle, I have gotten off medication that I was on, my physical health has improved and look forward to my meditation every day. I learned so much about living a balanced life in every way.
I can’t say enough good things about the center. I had an Ayurvedic massage every day and felt like those massage therapists were true healers. The connections I have made to other people were wonderful, and I still keep in touch with them. If you are considering taking a week for yourself to recharge your batteries and truly help find perfect health, I would highly recommend this to you.

Planned and spent a great day at the La costa resort. After checking into the beautiful la Costs spa I was off to our First appointment at the Chopra Center for a yoga II class. Disappointing to say the least. The yoga center was outdated and run down. No ambiance of health, light or balance here. The instruction was mediocre at best. I simply expected more from such a fine resort. I’ll definitely return to the resort but skip the yoga.

I finished Perfect Health about a week ago and just loved it. The daily massages are fantastic, of course; yet, it was soooo much more. It was such a deep and personal experience that it is hard to describe. I will mentioned a couple of practices that are considered to be of utmost importance.
I have never practiced yoga before yet I found it to be invigorating so I will continue and take classes to continue on my journey into health and healing for my mind, body, and soul.
Meditation is also a new practice for me and this one is going to take some time but I will continue as it is a relaxing and cleansing practice.
The meals provided are vegetarian and delish, 95% of the time anyway. :) I do enjoy vegetarian food and some of the curries and soups were outstanding.
Wendi and all the staff their are so supportive and helpful, it is just fantastic. The property is really beautiful and adds to the experience and sitting outside with Mother Nature there is so joyful.
It is an experience not to missed. If you even feel a little bit like you want to experience this, it means you should go. Just go. My next rip is already booked for Healing the Heart and I cannot wait.

Wow! I just attended the «Perfect Health Program» at the Chopra Center for Wellbeing. It was truly an amazing experience. I met wonderful people, had a massage every day (technically, an Ayurvedic treatment that incorporated massage and other healing treatments), ate delicious food, participated in meditation and yoga every day, and learned so much about living an Ayurvedic lifestyle and the benefits it brings.
All of the staff, speakers, treatment therapists, doctors and volunteers were warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Add to that an impeccable location (at the La Costa Spa and Resort) where I enjoyed sunshine, beautiful flowers, and the soothing fragrance of orange blossoms each day … I can’t imagine a better place to «detox» and continue my path to wellness.
If you’re looking for more peace and balance in your life, this is a lovely destination to include in your journey. I’ve been home for 2 days now, and although I already miss being at «the mothership» (as some call it), I have truly taken what I learned and put it in to practice.
The Chopra Center for Wellbeing is a great place to start or continue your path to an Ayurvedic lifestyle, including meditation, yoga, nutrition and other nourishing choices. I could not recommend it more highly!
P. S. Yes, the financial cost seems high, but the return on my investment has already been immeasurable in terms of peace of mind, feeling better physically, and dramatcally increasing my ability to manage life’s stressors.

I attended the 6-​day Perfect Health retreat, and could not have been happier with my experience. Every person I encountered at the Chopra Center was so loving, intuitive, and knowledgeable.
While an admittedly expensive retreat for someone on a teacher’s salary, my week was worth every penny. I sought out a retreat for weight loss and mental clarity, and came away with so much more. Through meditation, mindful eating, and yoga (not just asana, but all eight limbs), I am already so much more open to my true purpose.
I wanted tools to bring home with me, and received exactly that. Chopra staff are keenly aware of the importance of after care, and make every effort to help each participant even after one leaves the beautiful environment they’ve set up at the La Costa Resort.
Life changing!!!
