Eastern countries are considered the best to come for relaxation, awareness about oneself and to rejuvenate the mind, body and soul. Some of the best manners to do this include Yoga and Tai Chi. Former is what most people around the world know as simple breathing and stretching exercises whilst the latter is the Chinese version of the same, hence slightly different.
Tai chi and Yoga are both good to unwind and relax and it has long term benefits if practiced constantly on a regular basis. Tai Chi yoga is said to be about doing and not achieving and it is a meditative art that is beneficial for both the mind and the body. It can be practiced by anyone irrespective of one’s age. It is said that tai Chi is an ancient style of martial arts, though at a very passive level.
For anyone travelling to China in search of relaxation, rejuvenation and some time away from one’s busy life, one of the best things to do is to join a yoga program or a tai chi program. It is a great way to get back in shape both mentally and physically while also doubling it up as a holiday. Some of these yoga packages come all inclusive with vegetarian meals, which is a great method to detox oneself once in a while too.
Even if one is not travelling the distance to China for yoga alone, it is possible to spend a day or two at one of the yoga classes found here depending on one’s schedule and requirements. Tai Chi is a great exercise to start these healing exercises and there is no better way to start a healthy life than during holiday, during which time one can get used to this new practice and continue it long after the holiday is over during one’s daily life too.
Most hotels in China have spas and yoga centres. The staff at any hotel in Yunnan will be able to recommend good yoga centres and retreats for any visitor staying at a hotel Yunnan. Places such as Anantara Xishuangbanna, China have its own spa with many tranquilizing eastern treatments.
