HEALING SESSIONS
Our holistic therapy sessions will be a perfect addition to your retreat. Depending on the length of your stay, you can try different healing practices that can positively improve your physical health, emotional balance, mental clarity, and creativity.
AYURVEDIC MASSAGE
Ayurveda is one of the most ancient alternative medicines practised mainly in India, gaining its popularity in the West only now. As more people become more thoughtful about their health and well-being, Ayurveda is an ideal way to restore imbalances and rejuvenate the body quickly.
As a part of our 5 to 10-day retreats, you will benefit from an Ayurvedic massage (full-body oil massage) to enhance your physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional well-being and to remove any imbalances.
During these sessions, an experienced therapist will focus not only on the physical aspect, using personalised pressure on muscles and nervous connections, but also on the mental aspect. Using high-quality organic oils, each touch will help release any negative or stagnant energy, rest your body, and restore your energy levels, contributing to an overall feeling of relaxation.
Different types of Ayurvedic massages can be booked at an extra cost.
ART THERAPY
As its title implies, it is a therapeutic method that uses art to express and interpret one’s emotions and thoughts. Although it is a relatively new approach, studies already show its positive outcomes, such as a soothing effect on stress, anxiety, and other conditions related to mood and self-esteem.
Although we at Kailash Yoga Ashram are not medical professionals, we have taken numerous courses out of personal interest in alternative medicine. We desire to accompany our students on their journey towards self-care, self-confidence, and physical and mental well-being, so we have decided to enrich our retreat programs with Art Therapy to complete the healing journey.
Different methods will be used throughout the Yoga & Meditation retreat sessions, such as soap making, candle making, mandala drawing, macrame creation, mala creation, and vision board making, among others.
But don’t worry; you do not have to be an artist to follow Art Therapy. On the contrary, the sessions are carefully selected and designed to allow everyone to discover the creative part within themselves. Furthermore, you will leave with a pleasant memory that can even enhance your moments of stress relief and mindfulness once the retreat ends.
SOUND HEALING
Music has been proven to have a beneficial effect on our body and mind. Although everyone’s taste is very subjective, as our ears respond to each sound differently, we generally listen to music or produce some tones. Music gives us peace of mind and a sense of contentment, somehow touching our inner soul.
Sound healing is the practice of inducing deep relaxation through the use of sounds and vibrations from various musical instruments. You can enter a world of security and tranquillity where alarms and tensions have no place by simply resting and listening.
When sound waves enter the body, they affect each body part differently. While low-frequency sounds can bring stability, grounding, and physical relief, higher sound waves, on the other hand, bring mental clarity, relief of emotional distress, and cleansing of negative energy.
Sound healing sessions help alleviate various blockages stored within our bodies, release stress and anxiety, balance our energy levels, and promote inner harmony.
This unique session can be experienced during our 5- to 10-day retreats, which require a minimum of 5 participants.
