\nIn search of a full de-stress and detox experience, I arrive at Little Samadhi<\/a> not knowing that there\u2019s nothing little about this place.  Actually, in order to realize that Little Samadhi is not just a place, one has to spend a fair amount of time with the graceful yogi, Atma, the life-force of this curative sanctuary.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nOn the first morning of my retreat, Atma introduced me to breathing – yes, you might think that breathing is a simple exercise of absentmindedly inhaling and exhaling but no, wait until Lady A takes you through some of the basics of breathing<\/a> and you\u2019ll begin to appreciate oxygen and its impact to the body (and mind).  <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a>Straight after the breathing session, Atma and I have fresh fruit salad, scrambled eggs, avocado and organic pumpernickel bread with Earl Grey tea, before heading off to the majestic Tra<\/span><\/span>douw Pass to fetch some spring water – yes, from a real spring. What a scenic drive!<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nOn our way back, we stop at <\/span>Inkaroo<\/a> – a jewellery shop owned by the talented Heather Arter. One just has to see the jewellery she makes. \u2026<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nFor lunch, we had a light salad, steamed combination of celery, ginger and carrots. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\nThe day ends on a conversational note – on and off the mat!<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
