Whether you are a complete novice or a growing yoga enthusiast, the more you live the yoga lifestyle on a yoga retreat, the more you will discover that it is not only a physical practise but a holistic practise that seeks to balance the mind, body and soul. This is achieved through the inner peace experienced once the person feels in control of their own self. Similarly, Ayurveda (a traditional Hindu structure of medicine) is based on the notion that balance between bodily systems is essential to optimal health. Thought to aid the prolonging of life, the benefits of Ayurveda can be achieved on an Ayurveda spa holiday through Ayurvedic nutrition, holistic spa treatments and wellness activities, such as yogic breathing. Working in harmony together, yoga and Ayurveda both seek to achieve balance and enhance overall well-being.

I have now come to the end of my 8-week PR & Marketing internship in London with Health and Fitness Travel and it could not have been more worthwhile as I can take away a huge list of varied things I have learnt that will be useful for the future. Having just finished my year abroad in Madrid I knew I was keen to pursue my interests in travelling and start to explore paths within the travel industry. Everything about the internship appealed to me, especially the creative writing but the stimulating and interesting tasks I have subsequently been given have surpassed my expectations of how much I have loved this internship. From day 1, my action list was filled with tasks and learning how to grasp new software that were unheard of to me like Dreamweaver; a fantastic CV booster as I can now code.
