For anyone looking to improve their overall lifestyle it is essential to look at the whole picture, by which I mean, your mental, physical and emotional wellbeing. There is absolutely no point in focusing all your attention in one area and neglecting the other two areas, this will just leave you continually out of balance. When booking a vacation, with your lifestyle choices considered, you need to think about your location, your stimulation, your physical nourishment and above all, is this somewhere that you will be able to relax, let go and just be, in other words, is this a place where you can reconnect. Jamaica certainly offers everything you could possibly want from a vacation but when you put into the mix the opportunity to enjoy yoga as well as everything else you start to see that time spent here will rejuvenate you back to your true self. Yoga Bless Jamaica have worked incredibly hard to ensure that time spent with them is more like time spent with family, a long, long way from large, commercial and impersonal hotel resorts, this is about giving you the environment to relax, to feel special, to feel a part of a group of people, not just a number on a hotel door. Jamaica really is paradise bringing you fresh air, perfect temperatures, wonderful bio fruits and vegetables, fresh herbs and of course, a beach to die for. Just imagine laying listening to the sound of the ocean as you unwind and let the stresses of life just drift away. I believe, as do Yoga Bless, that healing begins on the inside. We need to nourish our bodies just like we would take care of any expensive piece of machinery. We need to cleanse our bodies, remove the stress of trying to digest heavy, toxic foods and in doing so, we start to feel much more energised, we actually get to use the energy in a positive way. As we begin to eat well our minds clear, we start to have clarity on issues which may have been blocking our energies previously. Issues which may have seemed huge a few days ago, suddenly become simple. As we cleanse our body, we cleanse our minds and with this comes clear vision. This way we restore balance, the secret to healthy living.
