It is undeniable that the benefits of yoga are numerous. From physical benefits such as increased flexibility, muscle tone, contributing to a balanced metabolism, enhancing cardio health and improving energy as well as a myriad of mental benefits, yoga is an attractive option for those who lead fast-paced lives. As yoga poses include stretching and breathing exercises, it is an ideal workout to enhance mental stamina, reduce blood pressure and calm one’s mind. For those visiting the United Arab Emirates, opting to reside in a Liwa desert resort will allow them to experience desert yoga, a workout that promotes physical and mental tranquillity. Indeed, yoga sessions such as those offered by Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara add to the tranquil experience by situating such sessions against the stunning backdrop of the desert sands.
Desert yoga is best experienced in the early mornings and in the evenings for, during this time, the sun isn’t as hot, and the cool breeze provides a soothing environment conducive for yoga. In the mornings, one can begin their yoga poses and meditation techniques while observing the sun’s rays illuminate the gentle slopes of the desert. In the evenings, one can witness the sand dunes turning golden with the dying rays of the day’s sun. These panoramic views create the ideal ambiance and physical environment necessary for a memorable and unforgettable yoga experience.
Novice practitioners of yoga can opt for teachers or trainers who will be able to guide them through a number of poses and breathing techniques that are designed to release stress, reduce blood pressure and boost positive energy. It is, therefore, an ideal activity to engage in for those seeking solace and tranquillity away from their frenzied lives back home. Travellers will also carry back with them unforgettable memories of the sand dunes.
