Post-Covid self-care isn't just a trend, it has become a norm for many, a routine that they follow in a disciplined manner. It's an era where gyms no longer attract many people to stay healthy. The shift is towards yoga and wellness.
From the middle class to the wealthy to the well-known, yoga's ancient wisdom is being embraced with an open heart.
Amidst the chaos of modern life, there is a clamour to stay fit and experience a sense of semblance and spiritualism in one's life.
Celebrities like Sara Ali Khan have embraced this ancient practice and are inspiring others to follow suit in their pursuit of a life filled with wellness.
Yoga and wellness with Sara
The Bollywood actor, who is a fitness and travel enthusiast, will for the first time curate and host an exclusive wellness and yoga retreat for a group of up to four guests at a serene Airbnb at Nerul in Goa.
Set amidst the lush landscape of the sunshine State, this retreat is set to offer the ultimate escape, providing a perfect backdrop for relaxing and nurturing one’s holistic well-being.
Known for balancing her dedication to fitness with her fast-paced cinematic career, Sara is now bringing her passion for wellness and yoga to Airbnb for this retreat in Nerul, Goa.
Guests will enjoy practising yoga with Sara in a stunning nature-inspired sanctuary and have the opportunity to gain insights into Sara’s personal wellness rituals and secrets.
'I am excited'
“I’m really excited to welcome guests to this special wellness and yoga retreat in Goa, which is only on Airbnb. Surrounded by nature’s beauty, we’ll focus on nourishing the mind, body and soul while creating meaningful memories together. It’s an opportunity to unwind, reconnect and embrace life’s simple pleasures in an unforgettable setting,” shared Sara Ali Khan
In tune with Goa's wellness vision
Airbnb signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Goa Tourism Department in 2022, focussed on promoting Goa’s serene hinterlands and its unique homestay ecosystem.
Through this collaboration, Airbnb aims to support the government’s vision of promoting “Goa beyond beaches” for domestic and international travellers seeking tranquillity, culture and connection.
