destinationsAsia

Home to the world’s largest population and assembly of cultures, Asia is more than a destination, it is the cradle of some of the world’s oldest civilizations and philosophies. Age-old healing therapies developed in these areas and today, the Western world is realising the benefits of these holistic principles which work on re-establishing balance within the body.

Many of the hotels we have chosen for our programme come from South Asia, particularly India, where the oldest healing system in the world, Ayurveda, originated. Along with yoga and meditation, these therapies pamper the mind and spirit and, are of equal importance as physical treatments. What more could a destination offer than the opportunity to rejuvenate amidst centuries-old temples and forts, soaring mountains and idyllic beaches.

'Away from the chatter of the senses From the restless wanderings of the mind There is a quiet pool of stillness, The wise call this stillness the highest state of being. It is the place where we find unity. Never to become separate again.' KATHA UPANISHAD (5TH CENTURY BCE)

The breath is the intelligence of the body. T.K.V. Desikachar
