Slow Yoga Vacation in Sitla with Mini Shastri at her beautiful Home कrishma and Aanchal’s gorgeous The Sky House with the most beautiful snow capped peak views of Nanda Devi.
The mountains are calling and I must go - I’ve always felt this and every time I feel mentally exhausted I reach out to find any way back to the mountains🗻
It’s tough writing this post because I’m so rejuvenated and off insta it’s hard to get back to the gram but this is a learning post.
Do you know why you love the mountains? The Japanese call it forest bathing (shinrinyoku) and it’s been prescribed by doctors in Japan since decades to raise immunity.
The science is that the forest trees (deodars which grow at these high altitudes) give out phytoncides - compounds to protect themselves - their own defense mechanism to fight stress, and these are extremely beneficial to raise immunity in humans, and reduce stress and anxiety levels. In short the best natural medicine you can give your family and kids.
Coupled with yoga, chanting, and just life conversations with the best Mini Shastri , this retreat was nothing short of magical. Thank you Mini, I’m so grateful to you ♥️
Find a mentor/teacher you can connect with , who truly cares about you and watch the magic unfold.
