Do you want to feel fitter, have more energy, and be more relaxed and peaceful? Do you wish to form a toned body, handle stressful situations more easily and build self-awareness? The newly designed ‘Yoga Retreat’ offered at Chiva-Som since January might be your solution.
What is so special about the retreat offered by Chiva-Som? As Preeda Ardmad, one of the renowned yoga instructors comments: “Consistent guest demand led Chiva-Som to provide a greater choice of yoga disciplines offered 365 days per year, enhanced by yoga experts from all over the world including Australia, Britain and India.”
The ancient practices of yoga unifying body, mind and soul help to direct you inwards and focus on personal healing. It’s perfect for people who suffer from anxiety, recurring sleeping disorders, high heart rate, rigid joints or live a highly stressful lifestyle to mention just a few. Several studies conducted in the United States suggest that yoga aids in the management of cardiovascular disease (CVD) whilst also reducing many insulin-resistant syndrome related risk factors for CVD. Reviews have also revealed that yoga reduces age-related deterioration in cardiovascular functions. Everybody can practice yoga, regardless of ability, age or flexibility- you only need to be open-minded and willing to learn to profit from the healing effects that yoga offers, benefiting everyone.
After a complete assessment by Chiva-Som’s qualified Health and Wellness Advisors, guests will be recommended one of the different yoga sessions: The Bosu Yoga or the Hatha Yoga are relaxing forms of yoga, while the Ashtanga or ‘Power Yoga’ which are more physically demanding and intense and are among many other types of yoga offered at Chiva-Som. The different forms of yoga combined with Meditation, Jala Neti for cleansing of the nasal passage and Pranayama help achieve mindfulness, self-awareness and clear breathing.
“With the help of Chiva-Som’s experienced yoga instructors, beginners become experts and experts are led to greater awareness” as Preeda Ardmad assures.
The Yoga Retreat is available for stays of five nights or more. Guests staying five nights will benefit from inclusions of two yoga sessions; one meditation class; and one Jala Neti treatment. For guests staying 14 nights or more on the Yoga Retreat, Pranayama sessions and treatments using Emotional Freedom Technique are also included.
