The Farm at San Benito marks Int’l Day of Yoga

-

To celebrate the Internatio­nal Day of Yoga on June 21, The Farm at San Benito will have visiting yoga practition­er from India, Malini Ramani, conduct two classes of Kundalini Yoga on June 22-25. The event also kick-starts the monthlong Yoga Festival.

Kundalini yoga is a transforma­tive practice that dates back to ancient times. It incorporat­es movement, meditative breathing, and chanting of mantras, helping you experience a deep sense of awareness.

The practice has helped Malini live a more enriched life. “The practice of Kundalini yoga is a perfect fit for me because it gives instant results—life becomes rich, meaningful, entertaini­ng and fulfilled,” she said.

Kundalini in Hinduism pertains to a type of divine energy, supposedly stored at the base of the spine.

Certified teachers and instructor­s from The Farm at San Benito will also conduct a number of daily classes. A Day Pass will be made available for guests to freely participat­e in all yoga classes.

One of the classes is the Vinyasa Flow Morning Rise. This focuses on the dynamic between breath and posture, and leaves the practition­er feeling longer, leaner and refreshed.

Another is the Heart Opening Flow yoga class. This promotes a deep personal growth and transforma­tive experience. This practice expands your chest and rib cage, making them more receptive and free.

Yin Restorativ­e Release is a very slow-paced type of yoga class. This style requires holding poses for a few minutes while allowing the body to relax and effectivel­y apply gentle pressure to the body’s connective tissues. It’s a good way to increase the body’s range of motion while grounding one’s energy.

The Farm at San Benito offers a chance for retreat and rest for the body, mind and spirit.

A Day Pass at P5,000 net per person entitles includes all regular and special yoga sessions and daily scheduled activities, with a three-course vegan lunch, one 60-minute treatment, and more.

An overnight stay starting at P6,000 net in a Sulu Terrace comes with breakfast for two, among other perks. The Farm at San Benito is at 119 Barangay Tipakan, 4217 Lipa City, Batangas; Tel. 8848074, 0918-8848080
