Create and host trusted wellbeing programs.
Start your applicationExplore programs explicitly marked as suitable for women. The original collection describes Ayurveda, yoga, birdwatching by a river and time for rest across Kerala. Check the live listings, timetable and inclusions; women-only attendance and planning arrangements need confirmation.
Programs listed below have an explicit Women audience assignment; that does not mean the group is women-only. The original collection describes a 3-day birdwatching, Ayurveda and yoga stay near Thattekkad, a 5-day women's Ayurveda program in Kodanad and a 5-day women's yoga program in Fort Kochi, alongside other stays marked as suited to women. Confirm the actual program, attendance rules and availability; you can ask about a woman practitioner before booking, but availability is not guaranteed.
Current counts and package prices are loaded from published program records.
In India's 2019 national time-use survey, female participants in unpaid domestic work spent about five hours a day on it, compared with about an hour and a half for male participants. Paid work and caring responsibilities can add to that load, although people's circumstances differ. Rest need not be something you have to earn.
Check which meals, timings and daily activities the host arranges, so you know what is planned and what you still need to organise.
Women-only groups require explicit confirmation for the selected program and dates. Ask whether a woman practitioner is available for bodywork, and confirm the arrangement with the host before paying.
Check each program's stated minimum and maximum group size, and ask how sessions are led. Group sizes and individual attention vary.
These programs have an explicit Women audience assignment. This does not guarantee women-only attendance, a female practitioner, private accommodation or medical benefits. Check individual participation conditions, package eligibility and arrangements before booking.
This is a separate attendance restriction that needs explicit confirmation for a program and its dates. The existing Women audience tag does not verify women-only attendance, so no exclusive group or count is inferred here.

Every program on Lifed
Alongside the eight curation questions described in the source, these are details to check before choosing.
Confirm women-only attendance explicitly for the selected program and dates. A Women audience tag or a title alone does not establish that restriction.
Ask whether the selected Ayurveda program includes a consultation, who conducts it, and how informed agreement is obtained before any bodywork.
Tell us when you enquire, and ask the host to confirm whether a woman practitioner is available before you book.
Ask what venue address information is public and what arrival details are provided after booking.
This collection does not present programs as a fix for PCOS, periods, fertility or menopause. Program-specific health claims require review; wellbeing experiences do not replace medical care.
Confirm whether accommodation is private or shared, twin or double, and get the applicable inclusions and terms before paying.
The source describes eight curation questions: job, structure, evidence, language, fit, safety, distinct and ready. Their application to every program requires editorial confirmation. How Lifed curates, in full
Three findings behind this page, and the claims we won't make about women's bodies.
In the 2019 survey, female participants aged six and above spent an average 299 minutes a day on unpaid domestic services, compared with 97 for male participants. Paid work and unpaid caregiving were recorded separately.1
In the 2021 Women in the Workplace survey of North American employees, 42% of women reported feeling burned out often or almost always, compared with 35% of men. These are historical survey findings, not a measure of every woman's experience.2
In a 2012 trial of 72 distressed women, a three-month Iyengar yoga program improved reported stress compared with a waiting-list group. Offering twice-weekly classes was not superior to once-weekly classes, with limited attendance in the twice-weekly group. This does not establish effects for individual LIFED programs.3
There are plenty of wellness promises. We'd rather be clear about what an afternoon off includes.
The source names the three practitioners below and supplies photographs from their programs. These are setting photographs, not verified portraits. Current roles, qualifications and associations with available Women-tagged programs require confirmation.

Their program“I searched Lifed on a Sunday evening when I had run out of ways to slow down on my own.”
For a group of friends, colleagues or a community, ask about a program shaped around women's rest. Practitioner experience, custom arrangements, capacity and availability need confirmation.
Request a programThe original collection describes a riverside retreat at Thattekkad, an Ayurveda house in Kodanad and a women's yoga studio in Fort Kochi. Check the actual venue, journey from Kochi airport and availability before planning travel. Current public listings record 26 programs in Kerala, from coast to hills; the landscape below illustrates source reference experiences, not current Women-tagged availability.

Lifed brings wellness, movement and recovery together. Compare a Kalari week in Wayanad with an Ayurveda stay in Kollam through their current program details, then confirm suitability and booking arrangements.
No. An explicit Women audience assignment identifies intended participants, not women-only attendance. Confirm the group rules for the selected program and dates; do not rely on a title alone.
You can ask when you enquire. Have the host confirm whether a woman practitioner is available for the selected sessions and dates before you pay; this is not guaranteed.
Check the selected program's individual-booking rules, minimum participants and dates. A Women audience tag alone does not establish that every departure or package can be booked by one person.
Ask about the actual venue, travel arrangements and arrival details, including what the host does and does not arrange. Confirm what address information is public and what is supplied after booking; this collection does not guarantee travel safety or a universal private-address policy.
This collection does not present any program as treatment for PCOS, menopause or another condition. If you are managing one, speak with your doctor and discuss participation requirements with the host before booking; adaptations and suitability need confirmation.
Check participation eligibility for both of you and confirm whether shared rooms are actually available. Some programs may also carry Families or Seniors audience tags; those tags do not guarantee shared accommodation.
Tell us when you can get away and how you'd like to feel at the end of it. Ask LIFED to help check which available programs and arrangements may suit you.
