Arvind Pujji embodies the spirit of Pujjis Wellness Retreat. He is a wellness educator and a mystic, who blends the best of his Indian heritage with what he has learned in New Zealand to serve the needs of his guests at Pujjis.
Arvind is a trained and experienced bodywork practitioner and yoga teacher, with years of experience in facilitating private retreats, workshops and trainings in self awareness, yoga therapy, bodywork, massage, detox and fasting.
He appreciates the need for people to be nurtured and supported through transitions, to discover ease in their bodies, to make peace in their lives and to live in grace.
Arvind compares his retreat to the inns of olden times… where people came to pause, take rest, remember and recharge themselves. As an “Innkeeper of modern times”, he offers the same opportunities to his guests which often leads to a lasting personal enhancement of their lives.

Pujjis is a large wooden villa whose back veranda nudges the beautiful waters of the Maitai River. From this extensive veranda you can sit and watch the river go by, lazing in the hammock, reading a favourite book or simply snoozing. The spa and the sauna overlook the river and you can lie in the spa at night watching the stars to the sound of the river. Wide wooden steps take you down to the river where in summer you can swim. There is a large guest lounge and dining area, with plenty of room to stretch out as well as interacting with us and the other guests, if you choose.
There are many places for solitude within and around the property. The Massage Room is available for massage and bodywork and postural awareness. The sanctuary room is available for yoga, movement and bodywork, to listen to music and enjoy quiet time..
Pujji’s is only 8 minutes drive from Nelson. It takes about 25 minutes by bike and 1.5 hours walking.
