Those seeking a svelte sanctuary will fawn for Pranaa. For serenity’s sake, an enlightening experience it doth make. With a focus on the harmonious rejuvenation of mind, body, and spirit, the tranquil interior features two spaces, one for yoga and one for Ayurveda. Meaning, literally, the “science of life”, Ayurveda is a philosophy of holistic healing that originated in India and has been practiced for over five thousand years. Pranaa’s exclusive treatments draw upon the traditional Indian sciences of yoga and Ayurveda and special packages incorporate these methods with those of western therapies for a truly integrated indulgence. For an especially sublime time, select Shirodhara, a treatment that calms the body and purifies the mind as a soothing stream of warm, aromatic oil is gently poured back and forth across the forehead. The effects are truly transcendental, especially when the treatment is combined with an Abhyanga, a massage that incorporates warm herbal oils and traditional, rhythmical massage techniques from ancient India. From elation to edification; the retreat also offers an extensive Yoga schedule for those practicing at all skill levels as well as monthly workshops conducted on the subjects of health and well-being. For mind, body, and soul all perfectly pacified, Pranaa will precisely provide.
