Why take a Yoga Holiday?
Everyone, at some point in the year, wants to take a break from the normal stresses and strains of daily life, take off to a beautiful place and leave their cares behind. Rest, relaxation and recuperation from stress are what most of us want in a vacation. Many holidays, however fail to give us that. Instead of finding peace and relaxation, we often return home from a vacation tired, hung over, or not feeling significantly different from how we left. To many people, vacations themselves are boring or stressful, devoid of meaning despite the comforts and conveniences of modern hotels and resorts.
Does this sound true for you?
Think of your tense nerves, painful back or neck, chronic ailments, poor posture and ill ventilated lungs coated with toxins? Reflect on your lack of concentration, poor will power, tiredness or emotional burnout.
What you might enjoy is a different kind of holiday whose benefits will last throughout the year. Why not try a yoga holiday?
A yoga holiday is an adventure into yourself. It brings out the happiness your once sought and failed to find in a typical vacation. Unlike other holiday activities, yoga calms your senses rather than stimulating them, it rests your body rather than exhausting it. You can have a chance to try out a new approach to well-being and health. You can come out of your week off feeling refreshed, and feeling as if you have learned something valuable.
Our daily schedule begins with the serenity of meditation and gentle stretching in the morning. Brunch follows and then you have time to explore other Sinai activities in a peaceful way: diving, snorkling, desert trekking or simply chilling out. In the afternoon we have a second yoga class. Here your already loosened body stretches more and you can make noticable progress with your practice. You will see results immediately in body, mind and spirit!
Week holiday including hotel, breakfast and two yoga classes per day costs 300 Euro. Massage, healing and diving are offered at your convenience.
