Balinese resort uses local culture in new programmes
POSTED 09 Oct 2012 . BY Kath Hudson
Spa Village Resort Tembok, in Bali, has launched a selection of discovery paths aimed at offering guests an authentic Balinese experience, while inspiring them to discover a new skill or philosophy.

All paths involve yoga and treatments but have unique elements. Balance is the most restorative path, with soothing treatments, relaxation techniques and tranquil walks. Guests will learn about the Balinese philosophy of good and evil being present all the time and health and wellbeing coming from a balance between the two.

Creativity uses guided meditation and other activities to get the creative juices going. There are also classes in Balinese crafts such as basket weaving, carving, drama, music and dance. Visiting masters will guide guests through the artistic experience.

Vigour is about getting active and building strength. It is supported by a balanced nutritional plan and involves personal training sessions and beach walks. Guests will be enouraged to take up activities like scuba diving and snorkelling.

The Spa Village Academy offers an insight into the healing traditions of the island. Led by a local Balinese healer, the seven day programme involves classes in philosophy and the practise of healing arts, as well as training in massage techniques.
