Having a healthy body and mind enables us to live fully, to be present with the people we love and have energy to do the things that we enjoy.

Wellness is about fueling the body with delicious, nutritious food that enables our system to work effectively and sustainably.

Staying active and moving in ways that feel joyous and expansive.

It is about learning when and how to slow down, to hit re-set and take the time out to unwind and find peace.

Our fast-paced modern lifestyles are not always conducive to this.

We all benefit from the self-care and the love involved in taking care of ourselves.

Aside from the obvious factors such as diet and exercise, our mental,
emotional and spiritual wellness play an important role.

Our relationships with the people around us, our attitude towards life and
our ability to process and express our emotions are essential to leading
a healthy and well balanced lifestyle.

There is no 'final goal' when it comes to this journey of development, and over the course of
our lifespan ours needs change.

A retreat can be the time to have the opportunity to focus on recharging and refreshment.

(BLOG>>>What to expect from a Wellness Retreat)

Let's remember too that this is a holiday.

So there should be lots of pool, spa, relaxation and healthy eating.

And why not treat yourself to spa packages on your time away to make the most of it.

It's not always we get the chance to press the reset button and take some time out.

Time spent on our health and wellbeing is priceless.

Finding the holiday that matches what you want to do is the first big step.

Ask yourself what you are looking for, what your expectations are from this time-away.

What does the retreat offer? What activities and facilities do you want around you.

A yoga class or meditation course is a great place to dip your toes into the wellness world.

Maybe book a yoga retreat or gentle cleanse somewhere with professional guidance.

Health and Wellness retreats have become quite an attraction these days with so many classes, instructors and services.

They also offer great healthy menus so you can enjoy your time with a variety of healthy raw food throughout.

Make sure to check out the schedules and packages,
to be sure it is an all-inclusive wellness retreat that includes the activities you are interested in.

Health and Well-being is paramount. Make the time for some self-love and care.

Mind and body will benefit and you come away with new opportunities ahead of you.

Change comes from new disciplines and practice, and a retreat
is a great place to start this process.

Enjoy nutritious food, spa packages and
activities that benefit us, from fitness to exploring meditation retreats.

So the real question is what type of program is the right one for
you and what is available.Here are the main categories.

1. Detox Spa Retreats

A detox is just the thing to press the reset button and spend time
to nurture the body and mind.

The body benefits so much from shutting down the digestion system
and taking a break with a cleanse.

The body and mind feel realigned and recharged.

2. Holistic Anti-Aging Retreats

Anti-Aging retreats are holistic programs that offer personalised treatments
and regimens to help you make change and continue that change in lifestyle afterwards.

Often they involve detox and some may include Ayurveda retreat packages utilising this ancient methodology and approach.

A holistic approach considers all aspects of yourself in the
treatments so that you benefit as much as possible

from the time you spend. Yoga classes, meditation classes, activities
and education that match you and your

objectives at the time so the best possible outcomes can be achieved.

3. Wellness Fitness Retreats

Physical activity of varying degrees is a natural component of wellness. It may be
the flow of yoga, walking, swimming or it may be organised group fitness sessions.

Programs differ on what they offer and so you will be able to find
a retreat which meets your expectations..

Fitness is part of our health and well being, as is the food we consume.

On these retreats you will always find healthy raw food and juices.

4. Wellness Spa Retreats

Who doesn't enjoy some self care and love on a retreat.

Refresh & Nourish yourself with raw food, healthy eating, juices, yoga and massage.

Oh and lets not forget all the spa services available.

5. Luxury Health Spa Retreats

Nice comforts away on a healthy holiday could be just the break you need.

A time to relax and enjoy your surroundings with the benefit of the activities on offer.

Health & Wellness is key to our emotional and physical well being.

Our wellness practices are a rewarding and positive feedback loop.

The body loves healthy raw food and vegetable juices and it lets you know this.

Activity in yoga or fitness combines with this healthy eating and the body and mind feel different.

Stress and fatigue can be a thing of the past. A different way of living is
available to us through wellness programs.

Happiness is our natural state of being, and when we are in harmony in body, mind and spirit,
finding that place of simple peace and joy becomes much easier.

Living a healthy lifestyle offers us more time, more energy, more space
and awareness. Investing in our health is an investment in our future.

And the best part is, it's fun and enjoyable.
