Soul-stirring trends for a Wellness Holiday
If you haven't had a chance to plan your year end getaway
yet, head to a luxury retreat close to your city to enjoy some of these popular
trends
Come weekend and everyone seeks a quick respite from
the chaos to re-energise before the mundane tasks of the week begin to pile.
Young corporates prefer to park themselves in a wellness retreat which offers
wholesome meals, unique and insightful recreation activities. Here’s throwing
light on some of the popular rejuvenating experiences you can try before the
year ends:
Hooves for thought: animals for
alternative therapy
While the most common therapy animals are dogs, the
use of other animals is on the rise. It is scientifically proven that caring
for an animal requires full attention, and hence, offers a break from thoughts
that clutter the mind. Equine therapy is popular among individuals with a
multitude of behaviors. Equine-assisted therapy is scientifically proven to
lower blood pressure and their calm nature helps enhance social skills.
Teaching an individual how to trust and interact with a horse has shown immense
benefits for all parties involved.
Naturopathy treatments to banish
sore muscles
If you are short on time and cannot invest in a full
fledged massage programme, various short term naturopathy treatments can be
just perfect. A reflexology programme, one such stream of naturopathy, can be
perfect for you. The alternative medicine therapy involves application of
pressure to strategic points on the feet and hands with specific techniques. A
certain therapy that involves stepping on grass then pebbled cold water and
finally on dry stones is known to help get rid of soreness and knots in the
foot muscles and leave you refreshed and energised in return.
From farm to fork
With the growing consciousness about whole, organic
ingredients, a weekend getaway that’s focused on farm visits and learning tiny
aspects of organic cultivation attracts the fancy of those travelling with
family. Children love the idea of plucking vegetables and fruits off the bushes
and learn a lesson or two on nutrition. Choose a retreat that has an adjoining
farm; most wellness retreats grow their own vegetables on property.
Recreational Strolls to unwind
There is no greater joy than walking on the
wellmanicured gardens. The blissful cool soil and green grass under your feet
as you walk around is a therapeutic experience like none other. Choose a
retreat that’s nestled close to a water body and you won’t have to look far for
Nirvana; simply park yourself on the viewing decks or a balcony and soak up the
views in solitude or with loved ones by your side.
