5 Reasons Why This Hidden Nature Retreat Is A Blessing For Mumbaikars
1. Indulge In A Soulful Yogic Experience in the Lap of Nature
Dissolving the boundaries between Yoga and nature, Fazlani Natures Nest prides themselves in nourishing the mind, body and soul. Take cues from nature, and let the breeze accompany your breath, as the sun warms your muscles, and dive into serenity while increasing your awareness as you practice yoga in the lap of nature!
2. Nourish Your Mental Health with Unique Animal Assisted Therapies
Integrate animals in your psychotherapy processes with the remarkable Animal-Assisted Therapies ( AAT) offered at the resort. Out of the many available options, The Equine Therapy sure stands out thanks to its unique experiential nature. This treatment promotes physical, occupational, and emotional growth in people suffering from ADD, anxiety disorders and other mental health issues. What’s more, the therapy also helps build self confidence, self-efficiency, communication and social skills, trust, impulse control, and also aids in learning boundaries.
3. Indulge Yourself in Specialised Wellness & Healing Therapies
One of our favourite reasons to enjoy this serene nature’s nest is its connection with natural therapies such as Ayurveda Healing, Naturotherapy and Physiotherapy, each of which come with its own benefits. ‘Ayurveda Healing’, for instance, offers holistic and natural self-care; while the non-invasive ‘Naturopathy’ helps in upgrading the self-healing mechanism and boosting body immunity with gentle activities ranging from acupuncture, to underwater massages. Another interesting one to watch out for is ‘Physiotherapy’- helping your body heal from the residue left by past traumas and injuries.
4. Live the ‘Farm-To-Fork Concept’ In Real Life
To ensure a closer connection to nature with every meal, the retreat has a farm inside its premises where you can enjoy picking fresh produce, along with the resident horticulturist cum friendly guide. Spread across 12 acres, the farm offers the option to take these veggies straight to the kitchen and get the in-house chef to cook up a yummy treat! Pretty neat, right?
5. Stay Active By The CountrySide, In Country Style!
Take a dip or two in one of the two infinity pools, stroll around the resort, enjoy fishing and nature treks, or bicycle against the wind to witness pristine views of the lake. Did we mention the tour of the rose farms and its packaging factory yet? If you prefer the indoors, they have an array of things there too-think table tennis, cooking, pottery - the works! Pro-Tip
This is a golden time to visit this out of the ordinary place. Not only is nature at its recent best, but the authorities are only accepting 33.3% occupancy as a precautionary measure to practice social distancing!
