Sadly as the pace of the modern world gets ever more fast and furious an unintended consequence of our hectic lifestyles is stress and tension.
You may have your own methods for dealing with stress but have you thought of doing so in the tranquil Himalayan foothills? If so then you are in good company because many high-flying executives are doing exactly that so that they can look after their own health and their company’s well-being.

Stress-free zone...Located in the tranquil Himalayan foothills, Ananda offers an extensive menu of over 79 body and beauty treatments.
The team at Ananda Spa has developed a stress management programme specifically designed to break the back of mental and emotional tension and restore balance in your life.
The Ananda Stress Management Programme uses a balanced approach to banish stress from your life through various mind and body techniques based on the concepts and philosophies of Yoga, Meditation, Pranayama and Ayurveda. Under the guidance of Ananda’s expertly trained team, you will create positive changes and enhance synergy in your life.
While the workplace continues to be one of the main sources of stress for many people, the effects of chronic stress on the workplace can be equally as negative. Without treatment, chronic stress will almost certainly lead to more absenteeism, a downturn in productivity and consequently, more stress for management
Mark Sands, Spa Manager at Ananda, says an increasing number of savvy businesses are acknowledging the link between the wellbeing of their personnel and economic efficiency.
He said: “A large percentage of our guests who sign on for stress management, detox, or rejuvenation programmes are business leaders or senior managers who want to improve their contributions both at work and at home. Guests learn the tools to create a more balanced lifestyle moving forward and return to work refreshed and more productive.”
In ancient India, holistic living was a way of life. People understood that if they achieved harmony within, they would find peace around them. The Ananda Stress Management Programme draws on this principle by promoting harmony between the mind, body and soul, to reduce and manage stress and restore peace amongst our surroundings, including the workplace.
