While most of you love to travel, it is also a fact that your regular wellness routine might go for a toss when you are travelling. Especially when you take international trips, you tend to take it slow, wake up late, eat a hearty breakfast and get on with your hectic day of sightseeing. But if you are a stickler for fitness and want to include it into your itinerary, then the best thing to do is observe the wellness routine of the place you are visiting. If Santa Monica in the USA is on your travel plans, then here are six ways in which you can rejuvenate yourself early in the morning, and then proceed to work your way through your pre decided itinerary for the day.
Set against the long beach, a morning yoga session helps you feel one with Nature. Imagine seated comfortably on the sandy beach with your eyes closed and listening to the waves hitting the sand or the loud screams of a few happy morning swimmers. That is the setting in which you would be doing yoga. You may bring your own mat and settle down for a session or join the several yoga sessions that are already taking placeGrab a bike and explore the 22 mile Marvin Braude bike path with scenic views of the Ocean around the shore. This is not only exercise and exploring but also a great way to understand local cultureIf you love to keep fit by undertaking physical sports, then check out paddle-boarding or surfing. Moreover, if staying on the shore is your preference, then opt for beach volleyball. For the water-sports you can take brief learning lessons before venturing into the water with all safety precautionsInclude a full body spa to calm your senses. Most sea-side resorts offer their own spa facilities. Even if you are not staying there, you can pre-book a session for yourself. Massage, facials, acu-healing, reiki, cupping, organic spa, cellular repair therapy and much more are practiced in these state-of-the-art equipped spasOne of the emerging ways to connect with nature is the sound bath and meditation ritual.
