Inner Peace 2013

Stress is one of the major contributors to illness in society today. Unfortunately, when we suffer stress personally, we often find ways to deny it; we buckle down, take on the extra load and wait for the weekend; unwind with alcohol; or just go into low gear and ignore steps towards a healthier life.

One can not hide from stress indefinitely. Stressors are cumulative and the impact of stress over the long term is a slow breakdown in physical and emotional health. At Chiva-Som, there are positive ways for you to combat stress without restoring to harmful habits.

Chiva-Som’s Inner Peace Retreat is centred on the simple mantra “Calm the Mind, Move the Body”. The first step is to learn simple meditation techniques through Pranayama. After just a few minutes of this yoga breathing exercise, you will find yourself ready to start turning off the harmful chemistry created by stress. Additionally, exercising at any level is one of the most powerful stress-busters there is. Private sessions with our personal trainers can introduce you to a routine that works for you, so that it can become a sustainable habit – whether it is Thai boxing or a power walk.

Longer retreats include relaxing massages and therapies to help you really unwind (tip: try their famous Aquatic therapy!). For those enjoying retreats of 14 nights or more, a Naturopathic Consultation will give you insights from the world of Complementary Medicine as to how to manage stress through diet therapy, herbal therapy, and more.
