Those looking to travel to a deeper state of consciousness on their next vacation might consider one of Six Senses' new yoga-based retreats.
The hotel, resort and spa company recently announced three intensive programs aimed at teaching guests how to strengthen and balance the mind and body through one-on-one daily yoga, meditation and deep breathing sessions conducted by professional in-house yoga masters and complemented by massages, cleanses, facials and other holistic practices.
Novices should begin with the Discover Yoga program, which uses a daily practice of hatha yoga, guided meditation and pranayama, or deep breathing, exercises to introduce the guest to the idea of calming and balancing the mind and body.
Yogic Detox, aimed at experienced practitioners, combines aspects of asana — hatha postures — with cleansing processes like antirheumatic joint movement exercises, intestinal washes with lukewarm salt water and saline rinses through the sinus cavity, along with less invasive methods, like forceful breath exhalation and candle flame meditation.
And for the restless traveler, the Yogic Sleep program, which will be introduced later this year, will be centered around yoga nidra, an ancient practice that brings the mind to a state of meditative consciousness in order to address psychological, neurological and subconscious tensions.
"On the physical level, we are constantly exposed to a polluted environment which can have an adverse impact on our bodies as we absorb various toxins through air, water and the food we eat. On the mental level, our daily fears, stress and anxiety affect the subconscious mind," Dorelal Singh, an experienced yoga practitioner and teacher who is guiding the programs' launch, said in an email.
"Yoga is the only science which has provided a well-rounded means to assist us in dealing with these physical and mental pressures," he said.
A variety of massages, body scrubs and energy treatments, like chakra healing and Reiki, are also scheduled throughout the retreat to assist with relaxation and rejuvenation. Guests will be served healthy meals sourced from on-site gardens and local markets, and minibars in each room will be customized for Detox participants, replacing the usual caffeinated beverages and chips with snacks like coconut water and fresh fruit.
Discover and Detox retreats, which can be booked for three to 21 days, are currently being offered at all Six Senses resorts, including Zighy Bay in Oman, Laamu in the Maldives, Ninh Van Bay and Con Dao in Vietnam and Yao Noi and Ko Samui, in Thailand, starting at $210 per person for three nights, not including accommodations.
Retreats are also available at partner spas in Greece, Portugal, the Dominican Republic, India and Kuwait.
