Absolute Bliss
Yoga has been around for 5,000 years and it's still a proven way to get your body and mind together in partnership for feeling at one with the world. You don't have to know how to fold your legs behind your neck in a torturous pose to experience the benefits. Even a week or two of casual training will show you can profoundly calm and refocus your mind. Much the same thing happens with Tai Chi and meditation. Highly qualified yoga instruction is included daily in a serene and inspirational setting of flowering trees and the natural music of flowing waters.
Yoga
The ultimate relaxation exercise for the achievement of peace and inner harmony. With practice you can learn to literally transcend body and mind with heightened awareness of pure being.
Tai Chi
Tai Chi is an ancient oriental form of exercise and balance that has a calming effect on both body and mind. It is a form of ritual exercise that can set up your entire day with wonderful equilibrium in the face of any challenge.
Meditation
Meditation helps you to transcend both body and mind as you achieve a state of perfect physical and emotional harmony. It is said that meditation is "exercise" for the soul. After every session you feel truly refreshed and at one with the world.
Master Classes
Guests can also enjoy the benefits of our Master Class series throughout the year, with highly trained "specialists" who are at the pinnacle of their profession, conducting classes in a wide range of disciplines.
