A Fitness Solution in the form of Yoga Retreats
Submitted:2011-01-24Author:-Ashton Smith
The quote put forth by WHO in 1948 “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity” is something which all of us must pay serious attention to.
The disease counts have been rising over the years and the discovery of new diseases is not something that all of us can be happy about. In order to keep ourselves fit we need to enroll in some kind of activity that would make us engaged both physically and mentally.
When you think of such an activity, one thing that comes to our mind will be the youth boot camps or workout camps but these fitness camps more often than not will focus upon weight loss programs and are at most times for specific age groups.
Thinking of an alternative? You must seriously consider about a yoga retreat, Yoga is an ancient art which involves physical exercises which are technically called asana in yoga and also involve practices like meditations to get one mentally relaxed.
The first step to do once you decide to join a yoga retreat is to make a list of the various yoga retreat centers near to your area, or someplace which you can find possible for you to travel to. Then collect the details about them from those who have already completed or ongoing the yoga retreat vacation. Talk with them and know about the facilities, the trainer and other details like whether it is a luxury yoga retreat with wellness spas to pamper you or whether it is a more traditional one focusing on spirituality. Also non vegetarians do make a conscious effort to know whether non vegetarian food will be available as most of the yoga retreat centers provide only vegetarian food.
Yoga is a tradition of the Hindus and is believed that practicing advance yoga made some of the spiritual gurus have a long life. In the yoga camps you attend you will be mostly trained by some spiritual guru who will share with you the knowledge of yoga from ancient times and make yourself get a new lease of energy after performing them. For instance there are some simple breathing exercises which are taught in yoga which can make you active.
The aim of these yoga camps is to promote yoga as a way of life. So most of the yoga retreat centers will have the fitness camp in such a way that food and accommodations are provided by them. Mostly they cook vegetarian food avoiding items like onion and garlic. Also at these camps you will be cultivating healthy habits like waking up early in the morning, getting a breath of fresh air and practicing yoga. These camps will also involve some recreational activities like cycling, walking and some spiritual trips for practicing meditation. Also there will be nature trips to get you relaxed and de- stressed.
Yoga camps or vacations will be a different experience which can define the fitness of your life in a new way as they are taught by the highly skilled spiritual gurus who have in depth knowledge of yoga and deep value of their tradition.
