Stranded @HOME
"Rien ne va plus" in the world of travel! Instead of a pampering program in the hotel spa, it's DIY in the bathroom for the time being. I should actually be listening to the sound of the sea during my yoga retreat in Asia. But unfortunately, I can only dream of the daily Om with a sea view while I roll out my yoga mat between the couch and the table with a deep wanderlust sigh and make #dreamnowtravellater my daily mantra...
My wanderlust is pretty much gone.
Nevertheless, I'm trying to make the best of #stayathome and my involuntary travel break - after all, even Corona doesn't throw a true connoisseur of Body&Soul off balance. Thank goodness the most beautiful hotels in the world aren't letting me down and are sweetening my time at home with their online platforms. And so I immerse myself in the endless expanse of free videos, workshops, workouts and articles.
With the www.belmond.com/goodliving"_blank"">"BelmondGood Living" morning ritual, I gently awaken my senses every day and set a positive intention for the day.
Afterwards, I boost my immune system with a smoothie, freshly mixed according to the www.chivasom.com/about-blog"_blank"">recipe from the Chiva-Som International Health Resort, whose team of experts also looks after our well-being from faraway Thailand with valuable nutritional tips and delicious recipes.
www.fourseasons.com/fitwithfs/"_blank"">Thestar trainer at Four Seasons Hotels helps me to achieve a new training routine and post-quarantine bikini figure with sweat-inducing workouts such as the "Total Beach Body".
www.sixsenses.com/en/at-home-with-six-senses"_blank"">#AtHomeWithSixSenses/a> offers exciting videos, tutorials and tips on mindfulness, food, sleep, exercise, communication and healthy living. Executive chefs share their favorite recipes. With the "All Island Salad" from Six Senses Laamu, I get a crunchy portion of the Maldives straight onto my plate.
Time for "Armchair Travel" - my wildest virtual travel dreams come true when I go on a couch safari with www.andbeyond.com/andbeyond-tv/wildwatch-live/"_blank"">andBeyond/a>: Game Drives are broadcast live daily from the andBeyond Ngala Private Game Reserve and the Djuma Private Game Reserve. With recipes, playlists, movie and book tips from andBeyond, I can also hear, feel and taste this exciting continent beyond Africa.
And the journey continues with www.anantara.com/en/press-releases/200330-anantara-hotels-resorts-and-spas-offers-guests-travel-escapism-while-staying-at-home"_blank"">#AnantaraEscapism/a>. Swimming with elephants in the Golden Triangle, snorkeling with baby sharks, a night under the stars in the desert... countless virtual adventures await me here. I sit back and dream of all these wonderful places that will soon be within my grasp again!
