Whether you are a complete novice or a growing yoga enthusiast, the more you live the yoga lifestyle on a yoga retreat, the more you will discover that it is not only a physical practise but a holistic practise that seeks to balance the mind, body and soul. This is achieved through the inner peace experienced once the person feels in control of their own self. Similarly, Ayurveda (a traditional Hindu structure of medicine) is based on the notion that balance between bodily systems is essential to optimal health. Thought to aid the prolonging of life, the benefits of Ayurveda can be achieved on an Ayurveda spa holiday through Ayurvedic nutrition, holistic spa treatments and wellness activities, such as yogic breathing. Working in harmony together, yoga and Ayurveda both seek to achieve balance and enhance overall well-being.

Everything about the internship appealed to me, especially the creative writing but the stimulating and interesting tasks I have subsequently been given have surpassed my expectations of how much I have loved this internship. From day 1, my action list was filled with tasks and learning how to grasp new software that were unheard of to me like Dreamweaver; a fantastic CV booster as I can now code.

The phrase ‘doesn’t time fly when you’re having fun’ (and working hard) would be the most appropriate way to describe my time working with the Health & Fitness Travel team. From the moment I sat down at my desk and clicked open the first email waiting in my inbox, my learning whirlwind had begun and I was entrusted with real tasks and responsibilities from the word go.

With the pressures of modern day lifestyles causing many of us to compromise our own well-being, Dr. Sutthi Sawetsutthiphan, Medical Director at Thanyapura in Thailand, tells us about the influential relationship between stress and weight gain.
