It’s so important in this day and age to carve out time for yourself and check in with yourself, with so much noise and more pressure added to all our everyday lives. With a 190% increase in Google searches for ‘stress relief activities’, so many people are yearning to find different ways to unwind.

Our aim at RE:TREAT is to create a relaxing, mindful wellness sanctuary and to encourage guests to find innovative ways to unwind and find that rest bite. 

This World Mental Health Day, discover the many relaxing treatments at RE:TREAT, to help soothe your mind, body, and soul, including:

Somadome Meditation Pod: 

Ideal for beginners, as the pod uses colour light therapy, binaural beats and guided sessions to help your mind fully switch off. With different settings to play with, from a focus to a creative setting to choose from, and many more, it is a highly effective way to rest and rejuvenate. 

GAIA Crystal Therapy:

The ultimate goal of crystal healing is to bring the whole body back to a state of pure unconditional love. This treatment is personalised using crystals to discover which chakras are blocked and includes meditation, full body massage, facial using jade wands and a nurturing scalp massage to release any tension and help you reach a state of complete calm. 

Cryotherapy Chamber:

The Cryotherapy Chamber has countless benefits. For example, exposing your body to a temperature of -110 degrees Celsius for three minutes causes your body to create endorphins, which elevates your mood, promotes better sleep, and lessens stress.

Studio Classes at RE:TREAT:

Our studio classes are at the heart of RE:TREAT, and we pride ourselves on creating a peaceful and relaxing environment to enable people to switch off from their everyday stresses. The mental health benefits of yoga, are endless, from breathing, grounding, mindfulness, gaining a new perspective, relaxation, movement, and community. 

Breathing

Deep and focused breathing during a yoga practice sends signals to the brain that the body is relaxed and essentially safe. 

Grounding 

The mind becomes more centered and thoughts less cluttered, with also grounding regulating your heart rate during panic attacks. A way to direct your energy from the flighty and often scattered mind, into the sensations and stability of the body. 

Mindfulness

Yoga is all about encouraging being in the present moment. From balancing postures requiring concentration to meditation, and encouraging observation, the mind becomes more engaged with the moment we’re in and less worried about the outside noise and stresses. 

Relaxation 

Techniques such as breathing methods and stretching out cramped muscles as well as giving yourself the time for self-care, all relaxes your body, prompts better sleep, lowers stress and brings peace of mind. 

Movement

Moving your body and ‘getting out of your head’ decreases overthinking. Endorphins are released when we move our body, uplift our mood, and increase our motivation. 

Community 

Taking part in a group releases the bonding chemical Oxytocin, which increases feelings of connection and warmth and decreases isolation and stress.
