INTEGRATIVE FITNESS PROGRAM FOR YOUR HOLIDAY RETREAT IN THAILAND

Kamalaya’s Asian Foot Massage with Herbal Soak is a nourishing treatment which begins with a warm foot soak infused with locally sourced fresh and dried herbs renowned for their therapeutic properties. These herbs help to reduce muscle tension & stress, induce better sleep, inhibit arthritis, reduce inflammation and improve overall blood circulation. To ensure optimum benefits, the water temperature in the foot bath is set as close to 43 degrees as is comfortable. This allows the warmth to gradually penetrate and move up the legs and deeper into the body, bringing with it a welcome sense of calm and rejuvenation. A traditional Asian Hand Massage is then performed to open the energy channels of the chest and related organs, as well as opening the lungs for deeper breathing and the release of accumulated stress and emotions. Following this, a Traditional Asian Foot Massage works on specific pressure points to systematically activate nerve reflexes, thereby stimulating all of the body’s organs and tissues to improve overall function and wellbeing.

The use of herbal heated compresses is a traditional Thai therapy which dates back to ancient times, when it was the secret healing technique of Buddhist monks and local herbal healers. Thai Herbal Compress involves special poultices made of herbs and spices that are wrapped in muslin and steam heated. Steam heating allows the release of natural essential oils and aromas from the herbs and spices to help promote deep relaxation, reduced stress and fatigue, increased physical wellbeing, enhanced alignment and postural integrity of the body, improved circulation of blood and lymph and the stimulation of the internal organs.

Yoga is a way of life based on ancient Indian philosophy; a way of integrating your whole being so that all aspects of your life work in harmony. Yoga is a complete system for living life and for conscious evolution, thus helping to create balance in your life whilst creating a flexible mind, body and soul. Physical postures, breath and meditation are the primary aspects of this practice. A variety of Yoga styles are taught at Kamalaya and our instructors will ensure that sessions are appropriate for your current level of experience and personal goals.

“Balance is the key to a healthy life”. The Mind-Body Balance sessions are aimed at bringing this balance in our emotional and mental realms which in turn affects the physical realm. Your practitioner may assess you for signs and symptoms of mood/emotional imbalances, anger, anxiety and excessive worrying which may manifest as physical exhaustion, weight gain, eating disorders and insomnia. Through a process of counseling, yoga nidra, pranayama and meditative practices your personal mentor will help you find this inner balance.
