| Cuisine |
|
The
Shaanti Restaurant decor metamorphoses every day so you never
know what to expect! Food is an integral part of rejuvenation
and forms a quintessential element of Shaanti philosophy. The
retreat’s basic guiding principle is that a health retreat
should not only be a place to diet and lose weight but should
also encourage a lifestyle change for healthier living.
 “Each
meal and each freshly squeezed juice is not only nutritionally
spot-on but tailored to the guests personal preferences. And the
food is fantastic: a decent display of how varied and tasty vegetarian
food can be 'Lucy Tallon - Travel News & Lifestyle magazine
(June 2005).
Tease
your palate with mouth-watering vegetarian delights from around
the world cooked to perfection by our professional chef.
You might be under the stars, you might have your toes in the
sand, expect the unexpected, wait and see.
Personalized
menus can be offered with the guidance of our resident nutritionist.

| Yoga |
| Yoga
is one of the most universal forms of exercising and cleansing the
body, the mind and the soul. The breath / movement relationship
helps to relieve stress and anxiety and brings balance to the individual.
There are many different types of Yoga – Ashtanga, Kundalini and
Hatha, to name a few. The Shaanti yoga therapist is a master of
all these techniques and can take classes with those that have been
practicing for years and those that are completely new to it all,
with the same patience and experience. The healing is only enhanced
by doing your yoga on Shaanti's custom-made yoga platform facing
the ocean as the sun slowly dips below the horizon. |

| Meditation
|
|
Meditation
is a beautiful way to relax and keep your mind completely still.
Even when one is resting, ones mind is abuzz with thoughts and
responsibilities. To still the mind, is to still the soul and
there is nothing quite like the feeling you have after meditation.
Meditation need not only involve stillness of the body. There
is moving meditation, candle gazing meditation, chanting meditation
and many more. Anyone staying at Shaanti for more than a
few days will cultivate their creativity, intuition and healing
potential and leave feeling revitalized.
Available all year
round.
