Refresh Your Mind and Body with Consultations by Specialist Doctors and Treatments Tailored to Your Condition
akiko is known as the first Japanese female singer on the prestigious Verve label. She has established her unique style by absorbing not only authentic jazz but also a variety of music ranging from electronica and Brazilian to R&B and rock, her own roots. While releasing her latest album "Dark Eyes," her activities are diverse, including not only singing but also regularly holding workshops using the voice called "Voice of your Heart."
Furthermore, for several years, akiko has been interested in and begun studying the world of "Ayurveda." This traditional medicine, based on a preventive philosophy passed down from ancient times in India and other regions, boasts a history of approximately 5,000 years. Having experienced Ayurveda during her visit to Sri Lanka in January of this year, she wanted to share her experiences with many people, leading to the planning of a retreat tour titled "Voice of your Heart" in Sri Lanka, with her as the navigator.
The tour spans a total of 7 days. Guests will stay for 5 nights at a resort located about a 3-hour drive from Colombo, Sri Lanka's largest city. During the stay, guests will drink herbal porridge each morning to awaken their digestive system, followed by about an hour of yoga. After breakfast, they will have a consultation with an Ayurvedic specialist doctor daily. In the mornings, they can receive about 2 hours of personalized treatment.
In the afternoons, in addition to a lighter Ayurvedic treatment lasting about an hour, there are optional tours to visit famous sites, allowing guests to spend their time as they please. Furthermore, after dinner, akiko will conduct workshops, making this a tour that will undoubtedly refresh both mind and body.
This 7-day experience offers a chance to immerse yourself in the authentic world of Ayurveda, including consultations with specialist doctors and lengthy treatments tailored to your condition, something rarely available in Japan. Why not treat yourself to this exquisite plan, proposed by akiko, who has pursued the health and beauty of mind and body?
