You can either experience the ultra-effective ‘Silhouette’ programme for firm beach body confidence or try the super cleansing Detox programme if your body skipped its annual spring clean. Or if you’re just looking for some stress-free indulgence, try four weeks of the Serenity programme to rediscover your inner peace.

They will also have the opportunity to indulge in the state-of-the-art hydrotherapy pool, chromotherapy steam cabin, sauna, sensory shower and laconium. What’s more, she and her friend can end their pamper therapy day with a signature Six Senses tea in the Tranquility Lounge… pure bliss!

Also adding to our Wahanda wall of fame are lucky winners from our April competition, Patricia Martin from Gloucester and Carol Watson from London, who won a Personalised Skin Programme at Dove Spa. They have the opportunity to address specific areas of concern with top Skin Care Experts at Dove Spa and get up to ten tailored skin treatments worth a massive £500, so they’re sure to be glowing with happiness.

Award-winning Kundalini Yoga

Here at Wahanda we always have the hottest Hollywood scoops of which fitness regime the A list stars swear by, and this week we’ve dug the dirt on the latest yoga trend. Madonna, Cindy Crawford, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Forest Whitaker are just some celebrities among the elite that are fanatical of Kundalini Yoga. Academy Award-winning actor Forest Whitaker has been practising Kundalini Yoga for decades, and has shared that if he hadn’t been an actor (heaven forbid), he would have taken up a career in holistic health. Well, if Kundalini Yoga is good enough for Whitaker, then Wahanda thinks it’s more than good enough for you!

The talented actor admits that by practising Kundalini Yoga he has become more intuitive and alert, and believes the exercise helped him take his acting to the next level to win an Academy Award. Whitaker says Kundalini Yoga has helped him in many areas of his life from his personal healing to his general sense of well-being.

The word Kundalini literally means “the curl of the lock of hair”, a metaphor- a poetic way of describing the flow of energy and consciousness that already exists within each one of us. It’s no wonder Madonna practises Kundalini during her world tours. Fitness is of course an important part of Madonna’s stage act and her Kundalini Yoga practice really helps both her body and wellbeing. As a celebrity yoga figure, Madonna has done more for the young who have been seeking ways to help heal the stress, confusion and direction in their lives than other alternatives. The science of Kundalini Yoga is known to arouse the creative being from within, which certainly explains Whitaker’s success! The  yoga trend opens your body’s chakras (energy centres), eases the mind, and helps the body and mind to be open, strong and receptive. Kundalini is by far one of the most powerful yoga practices around.
