The different types of Bali Health Retreats
Detox Retreats
Detox is one of the most common Bali health retreats. “Detoxing” literally means to get rid of toxins stuck in our bodies. There are many ways of doing it, including fasting programs, juice cleanses, and other dietary programs, often paired up with physical activities, sauna therapies and colon hydrotherapy. The length of a detox can vary according to one’s needs and most retreats offer personalised packages. Bali’s nature is rich in nurturing tropical fruits, energizing coconut water and other healing plants. People can even do a DIY juice cleanse by making their own or buying it at the many local juice shops. However, joining a Bali detox retreat helps with commitment and accountability. Moreover, having an expert and professional help by the retreat’s nutritionists and specialists is key for a safe and successful detox. So, DIY is great, but seeking professional expertise is always better.
Ayurveda
Originated in the Vedic culture of India almost 5,000 years ago, Ayurveda practices are at the roots of Tibetan and Chinese traditional medicine and are also practiced in Southeast Asia. The island of Bali hosts several Ayurvedic centers and spas, focused on holistic practices to heal and balance mind, body and spirit. Ayurveda (Ayu = life veda = science of knowledge) is not a mere cure to illnesses, it’s an holistic practice that introduces ancient wisdom for the body and to all the different aspects of life, including routines and behaviours. Ayurveda massages are special, including aromatherapy and healing oils, perfect to regenerate the spirit during a Bali health retreat.
Detox and Ayurveda retreats are only two of the many that can be found in Bali. Special practices like sound healing, craniosacral therapies and even dance retreats, are taking the island by storm. It won’t be difficult to find a retreat meeting one’s special needs and wishes.
What are the benefits of a Bali Health Retreat?
Bali is the Asian mecca for yogis and yoginis all around the globe. What are the differences and the benefits between a Bali yoga and a Bali health retreat? It really depends on what someone is looking for, but most of all, on what someone’s body is asking for. Yoga retreats are great to find balance between mind, body and spirit, in an active way. An already stressed and tired body though, might find it overwhelming. That’s when health retreats come in. They focus more on the ‘yin’ side of the practice, offering deep healing in a less intense, yet precise and effective way.
A health retreat in Bali can restore and give a brand new boost of life-energy, a radiant appearance and a kick to the immune system. Ayurvedic practices rejuvenate all levels of being; they can literally shift one’s life, patterns and behaviours. Sound healing and dance have a magical effect on the body and mind as well. They help to unwind and dig deeper into different layers of consciousness. Movement and sound become tools for powerful meditation, and new found bliss.
Why Bali is a perfect place for a Health Retreat
Holistic and healing practices are intrinsic to Balinese timeless culture, permeated by a deep spirituality tracing back to thousands of years ago. Also, what about the power of nature? Even just being immersed in between the lush tropical jungle, or overlooking green rice fields, or kissed by the ocean breeze is a health retreat alone.
Mama Bali also offers the precious gift of fruits, plants and herbs, key for our health, and for a cheap price. Think about drinking litres of fresh coconut water every day, rich in minerals and nutrients for the body. Or having fresh cold-pressed juices and tumeric shots, bliss for the liver and the gut. And the ginger! All gifts from the earth of the Island of the Gods. Also, Bali is home of ancient healers, together with health experts and professionals from all over the world, who relocate here and run world-class health retreats.
The local nature, culture and spirituality are all ingredients that make a Bali health retreat a unique and well-worth experience. Perfect for a mindful and nurturing vacation, health retreats in Bali, many and of various type, meeting everyone’s needs, preferences and, most of all, intentions. What a blissful place to be and reconnect with the body, mind and soul.
