Path to Peace leads to the beach!

January 13, 2012 | 12:00am

CEBU, Philippines - This New Year marks a first for Bluewater’s Amuma Spa and Templa Wellness as they team up on January 14, 2012 to give Cebuanos and resort guests a day at the beach like no other. Amuma embraced this synergy to work with like-minded individuals or groups who share the commitment to nurture integrative wellness in the country, as championed by Templa Wellness (www.templawellness.com). Founded by Carol Cano and Francesca Regala, the pair strives to “bridge modern knowledge with indigenous spiritual and cultural traditions to foster transformational change.”

Templa, a Manila-based haven is home to the Anusara-inspired yoga in the Philippines. Lead by Francesca, Anusara is a powerfully transformative hatha yoga experience. It seeks to use the physical practice of yoga to help students experience grace, alignment and let their inner goodness shine through. Anusara simply means “flowing with GRACE” and “following your HEART”.

Carol Cano is an Eastern Holistic Health Practitioner and has had years of experience working at the Institute of Health and Healing at the California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco, California.

Amuma partners with them for the first of its groundbreaking wellness retreat weekends. Filled to the brim with activities, A New Year, A New You: A Day of Wellness Like No Other serves as a beacon to those who are looking for inspiration in dealing with new year resolutions. It not only gives you yoga sessions, holistic workshops, meditation and lifestyle change classes, it also features the new Amuma massage services and healthy spa cuisine. You can experience all that in this truly eventful day.

Fee for this Saturday’s program is P4,700. Call Mel @ Amuma to register – (0932) 5381412
