Transformative Holidays

SHA Wellness Clinic

May 8, 2018

Holidays are a time to disconnect, revitalize and restore the body to return to our routine having pressed the reset button. Sometimes it’s hard to fully achieve this effect when we go on vacation, because we choose destinations that aren’t going to offer this experience. Other times, we’re unaware of how much our body needs a break, because we are in constant motion and become disconnected from our needs.

Our hectic lifestyles, having to juggle work, family, friends, personal care, etc. leaves us feeling stressed, drained and suffering from unpleasant symptoms, which as a result influence our lifestyle choices, often times causing us to adopt poor eating habits, sleep less hours, exercise less frequently and forget to take time for ourselves. But all of that can easily change if we choose to dedicate our holiday time to improving our health and achieving balance on all aspects, body, mind and soul.

A wellness destination can be the perfect option to rebalance the body and boost your health. During a health programme, you will nourish your body with healthy and healing foods, practice yoga and meditation, exercise with a personal trainer, follow the expert advice of doctors pioneering in healthy aging, preventive medicine, cognitive stimulation and non-invasive aesthetic medicine, as well as treat yourself to natural therapies that will revitalise the body.

The combination of all these disciplines will help you achieve the best version of yourself and learn to live a healthy and balanced lifestyle. As the old Chinese proverb says “give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you will feed him for a lifetime”. It’s about creating sustainable, long-lasting changes in your life, and this can only be done if you’re given the tools and knowledge to take care of your health and wellbeing, not only during your retreat but also during the rest of the year.
