Thank you for recommended the Ananda Stress Management programme, I have been in desperate need of a destress but nothing I tried worked until now. I cannot fault a single thing about my stay, everything was wonderful and I've never felt so relaxed. This retreat really gave me the time I needed to slow down, and the treatments were so effective at dealing with the symptoms of my built-up stress and helping me unwind. The most stressful thing about my stay was the fact that I had to leave, although I am certain I will be returning in no time...
I've always been a lover of Ayurveda, and decided it was finally time to treat myself to an actual retreat in the home of Ayurveda, India. Healing Holidays were incredibly helpul in going through my options with me, and we decided that the Renew programme at Ananda sounded like the best choice for me, and it most certainly was. From the moment I arrived I felt as if I had been transported to another world, it was just so peaceful! I cannot fault the treatments themselves, I've had Ayurvedic treatments in the past but I felt that these treatments were somehow more powerful than any I have experienced before. As the name of the programme might imply, I definitely felt renewed after my stay, and I cannot wait to go on another Ayurvedic retreat already.
As a yoga enthusiast I have been on a couple of yoga retreats, but the Ananda Yoga Programme has to be one of the best I've experienced. I loved that you got one-on-one sessions so you really got the attention needed, but were still able to attend the group sessions because I do really like enjoy practicing yoga with others as well. The other treatments really complimented the yoga and are part of what I think made this retreat stand out so much, the combination of everything left me feeling completely rejuvenated, and I am already considering when I might be able to return.
