Last week, Karma Kandara hosted the ultimate soul-soothing holistic retreat with Australian wellness luminary Babs Leyton: Awaken Your Radiance.
Day one unfolded on the sun-warmed Karma Spa deck, where Bali based Babs led an energising Vinyasa Yoga session. As the morning progressed, participants explored the power of intentional breathwork before braving the wake-up call of an ice bath experience.
At di Mare, a mindfully prepared lunch provided both nourishment and sensory pleasure. The afternoon brought quieter moments as Babs guided individual chakra balancing and heart reading sessions, before the evening transformed into a laid-back beachside BBQ where conversations flowed as naturally as the Indian ocean waters lapping our white sand shores against the backdrop of a spectacular sunset.
The second day dawned with intention – a Pilates session to awaken the body, followed by meditation to calm the mind, with fresh juices providing a natural boost. The addition of Yoga Nidra offered a chance to find stillness before another mindful meal at di Mare. As the day softened, so did the practice, with Yin Yoga leading gracefully into an elegant evening at Temple Lounge, where guests celebrated their journey at the Members’ Cocktail Party.
