“Wellness is the complete integration of body, mind, and spirit – the realisation that everything we do, think, feel, and believe has an effect on our state of well-being.” – Greg Anderson.
The world is all about wellness, and rightly so. Our fast-paced and demanding lives underscore the paramount need to listen to our body and achieve a healthy lifestyle. The correct path is to embrace a holistic approach to wellbeing, and with this very ethos, Audi organised a wellness weekend at a wellness retreat- Naad Wellness. Curated by GlobalSpa, the Audi Experience x Club Rewards Drive was an effort to highlight the importance of hitting the pause button and rejuvenate oneself through rooted ancient practices.
A short drive from Delhi, Audi hosted a few guests at Naad Wellness from 23rd to 24th September 2023. The journey into the realm of wellbeing commenced the moment guests set foot on the property. They were greeted with a sacred serenity, as melodious, auspicious music filled the reception area. Without delay, they embarked on individualised consultations with seasoned experts in Ayurveda, Naturopathy, and Yoga, tailoring a one-of-a-kind wellness journey to each guest’s specific requirements.
In Ayurveda, Ahãrã or food plays a major role in both prevention and cure. Ahãrã itself can act as the cause for disease and can also be used as medicine. The cuisine served at Naad is an embodiment of these ancient ethos. Guests were served with meals prepared in accordance with the tridosha style of cooking and were administered to help balance out their doshas or bioenergies. Cooked in a combination of desi ghee and cold pressed oils, even the ingredients are freshly sourced from neighbourhood farms and their own vegetable gardens on site.
Keeping the importance of the role food plays in our health, a nutrition workshop was held by celebrity nutritionist & health coach, Ryan Fernando. Having worked with celebrities like Shahid Kapoor & Aamir Khan, and sports personalities like Virat Kohli, Ryan empowered the audience by revealing the secrets of nutrition. “Your body is the most expensive real estate you will ever own”, said Ryan, “and therefore, luxury starts with you.” He broke down how our dietary pattern and our fitness routine impacts our body on a day-to-day basis. The workshop kept the guests intrigued and concluded with an interactive session with Ryan.
The next day started with an early morning yoga session at Naad’s Yoga Pavilion with Anshuka Parwani, the person behind Deepika Padukone & Kareena Kapoor’s balanced and flexible bodies. Through a guided set of asanas, Anshuka helped each guest with their strength, endurance, and flexibility. With deep breaths and slow movements, in the serenity of nature and chirping of birds, the morning was a wonderful start of the day for all guests.
After a fresh start and a hearty healthy breakfast, it was time to finally bid adieu to a holistic weekend at Naad Wellness. The Audi Experience x Club Rewards Drive brought a series of interactive wellness experience which focused on a holistic approach to your lifestyle.
