India’s sun-kissed coastlines, peace-permeated hill stations and breezy riversides offer a host of nutritious food, spas, yoga, detox therapies, Ayurveda, naturopathy, Vedanta and meditation techniques, retrieved and curated from the most ancient of sciences and arts. With innumerable ways to keep both the mind and body aligned, peaceful and in perfect health, the country is the perfect stopover to holiday at a softer pace.   It’s all in the mind, and reflected on the body… And our ancestors were well versed with this simple concept, owing to which many ancient sciences and techniques are still in practice.  Over 5,000 years old, the practice of yoga, renowned all over the world, has been benefitting mankind for generations and also finds mention in the Indian epic, Rig Veda. A synchronised art of movement, breathing and meditation, yoga helps expand awareness, improve balance, increase intellect, lowers anxiety and helps manage weight and overall good mental, physical and emotional health. The word ‘yoga’ means to unite and symbolises the union of body and consciousness. India, the home of this practice, hosts a variety of wellness resorts, ashram retreats and yoga meditation centres that provide a peaceful and tranquil environment to indulge in yoga and meditation.
