Ayurvedic Lifestyle Retreat with Yoga & Lunch
The relaxation starts the second you enter Chivitr (which means "life" in Thai) — sip a herbal drink before your class in ayurvedic wellness begins.
Ayurveda is a Hindu medicinal philosophy focused on keeping the body in balance with a mix of certain foods, herbs, massage, and exercise, and you'll get an hour-long intro to these principles before heading to yoga class. Cool off after yoga with a dip in the spa's pool, or purchase a spa treatment for extra relaxation before having a healthy lunch, plated according to the ayurvedic principles you just learned. After lunch, drive to nearby Promthep Cape for beautiful sea views before returning.
