Image
Resorts are the places where the people come to rest, relax, rejuvenate themself. Normally resorts have a lot of activities like horse riding, camel riding, and body massage etc...to make them more rejuvenating; Yoga is one of the best choices among them. The visitors normally stay 3-4 days to 1 week in resorts. So it’s a good challenging job to make them refreshing/relaxing yoga in minimum time. Normally some guests have Yoga practice history, some are very beginners, teaching them all together is very interesting. The resorts normally offer group classes and also private classes with different styles of yoga with guest’s choice. The practice of yoga techniques like Yoga nidra, Pranayamaas in beautiful nature, beach of the resort give additional satisfaction for the yoga Practitioner. After yoga classes a rejuvenating herbal tea in beautiful nature makes the guest rejuvenate a lot through yoga. In total, a few hours of Yoga practice is very advisable to make your stay happy

With out breath we cannot live for a minute. Breath is the reason and secret behind life. Even though it is so important the most neglected thing in our life is breath. We never aware of how we breathing? Are we breath equally through both the nostrils etc.? All these questions never come in our mind.
