ALL OF US SOMETIMES NEEDED TO RELAX FROM WORK, FORGET ABOUT BUSINESS, AND RESTORE THE BALANCE OF FORCES. AND IF YOU STILL LOVE YOGA AND ORGANIC FOOD, YOU DARE TO GO TO THE DESERT TO THE FIRST IN THE UAE WELLNESS RETRIT ALMA.
Alma Retreat are several tents located in a very beautiful and peaceful place in the desert of Ras Al Khaimah. The situation in the tents is quite simple, because the task of this place is to help return to nature and escape from the stress of everyday life. The creators of the retreat adhere to a holistic approach aimed at uniting the mind, body and heart.
The founder of the project is Sarah Arnold, a certified consultant on personality change, a certified teacher of yoga Sivananda and Vipassana meditation - as well as an IT specialist who has worked for 18 years in senior positions in strategic planning departments of IBM and Microsoft. Over the years of working in IT, constant business trips and hopeless schedules, Sarah realized that the world is changing faster and it is becoming more difficult for people to adapt to these changes and pay attention to themselves. Someone succeeds, while others do not.
Naturally, many blame others for their failures and admit defeat of their own - instead of trying to change from within. We often hear excuses such as "I'm such a man, and I can’t change." But why not? You can change anything, the main thing is to know how.
“We created Alma to help people achieve their goals,” says Sarah, who herself has visited, according to her, dozens of different retreats around the world. “We remind our guests of their roots, return them to nature and give them a break from the tense, super-technological everyday life Our guests live in simple tents, comfortable, but absolutely not luxurious, as opposed to most hotels in the UAE.The quality and attention to detail, however, are at the highest level: everything is needed here.All Alma trainers and teachers have a university some education and work experience of at least 10 years. Every weekend we invite at least four coaches, depending on the topic of the week, we use different methods-master classes of personal development, yoga, meditation, art therapy, strength and interval training to to awaken alternative sources of power in people and turn negative energy into fuel for change for the better. "
Retreats take place every weekend (on weekdays, Alma accepts groups, including corporate ones). Each of them is devoted to one of three topics: Heart, Mind or Body. A small group is going to retreat - no more than 30 people, who after the weekend often become friends.
“We do not strive for five-star comfort, but we strive to ensure that the quality of our services is not inferior to good hotels and that we are interested. Our goal is to show new opportunities, inspire you, push us into action and help change for the better, because we ourselves continue to grow and to develop, ”Sarah shares.“ In order for the changes to last for a long time, we need to work both with the mind, and with the heart, and with the body. Among our proposals there is something for every taste, I hope that we can help you. "
Daily meditation, yoga, training, creative workshops and organic food from Detox Delight and Greenheart Organic Farms ... Alma Retreat is an interesting alternative to the usual holiday weekend spent on brunches or beaches of Dubai. So why not try something completely different, be in nature and spend some time alone with yourself. After all, sometimes this is exactly what each of us needs.
