SPAs
in India
SPAs
are a great source of rejuvination. To get away from the everyday
humdrum of a mechanic lifestyle, there's nothing like a good old
Ayurvedic massage.
All
over the country you will find clubs and ashrams that espouse yoga
and naturopathy. Naturopathy is merely India's age-old belief that
the body must be cleansed from the inside and rested like any efficient
machine to function better and cope with life's myriad stresses.
At these places you will find an absolute Spartan lifestyle, no
beds, only fruits and soups, day-long relaxing yoga sessions and
talks on Indian philosophy, that advocates like the Greeks - the
golden mean. The starvation will probably do you more good than
you imagine, because people who opt for these generally come out
looking younger, if a little dazed by the rigorous lifestyle.
