NAVAS ZEN: ZEN RETREAT/YOGA RETREAT
An unbelievable, one-of-a-kind, nature-inspired
boutique retreat in a garden setting, appealing to the senses even from afar.
From the moment the nature walk begins, the atmosphere changes as the path
leads towards the Zen Home (NAVAS ZEN: ZEN RETREAT).
Cosy and tranquil, the master bedroom features
wood, rattan and earthy décor, without compromising on comfort and luxury.
Tucked away in a quiet neighbourhood, this is a retreat to slow down, reconnect
with nature and simply be, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
HEALING
Cosy, quiet and
comfortable, with a bamboo mat, cuddly pillows, scented candles, flowers and
soft music playing in the background. Where else can healing be but in a Zen
ambience?
When regular fixes
do little to ease the tiredness accumulated day after day, or when stress, past
hurts and emotional baggage feel really heavy, they can be released in thin
air. Talking is entirely optional. Not a single word needs to be uttered, and
there is no physical contact to be concerned about. Just gentle breathwork,
quiet rest and pure, natural healing, with everything else set aside.
Yes, the outside
world can wait. Leave feeling lighter, more at ease and ready to return to
daily life.
LIFESTYLE COACHING
Unsure where to turn when things get entangled
without realising? Sometimes, it takes a pause to see things differently.
Instead of overthinking, it is time to talk.
Opening up may sound easier said than done,
especially when there is so much going on in the mind. Here, there is space to
talk things through without judgement or unsolicited advice. Just a listening
ear, allowing the words to come at a comfortable pace.
As thoughts begin to unfold, things may become
clearer. Sometimes, putting feelings and concerns into words is the first step
towards seeing things differently and moving forward with greater clarity.
COUNSELLING
Some thoughts refuse to go away. Emotions keep
returning, feelings build up, and the mind feels too heavy to focus on what is
happening in the present.
Sometimes, keeping everything bottled up makes
things even harder. Talking to a neutral person can make a difference,
especially when conversations with familiar people often lead to opinions or
advice on what to do.
At Nava's Zen, there is space to express what is
weighing on the mind, at a pace that feels comfortable. There is no need to
have all the answers or even know where to begin. Sometimes, being able to put
things into words is a place to start.
COOKING CLASSES
Never cooked before? No problem. Want to improve
your cooking? Sure, why not.
These are not professional culinary classes or complicated restaurant-style lessons. The focus is on simple, everyday meals made with pantry-friendly ingredients that are practical for home cooking. The main focus is authentic Malaysian dishes, with familiar connections to other Southeast Asian cuisines, including Thai and Indonesian food.
Whether vegetarian, non-vegetarian or healthy cooking, the emphasis is on bringing out the flavours of the ingredients without compromising on the much-loved food senses. Garden-grown produce also finds its way into the kitchen, along with gardening tips to encourage growing food at home. It is about bringing cooking and gardening together, one meal at a time.
Weight
Loss Program
No
products to buy. No hidden gimmicks. Just a natural way to lose weight, with
motivation, encouragement and support from lifestyle coach Ms. Nava. Weight
loss is gradual, with a step-by-step approach that avoids pressure or drastic
changes. Balancing food and fitness is important, with weight loss monitored
weekly. Determination and willpower are equally important in achieving weight
loss goals.
It
is not merely losing weight, but also developing habits for eating clean, with
guilty pleasures allowed in moderation. Fitness should be included at least
once a week. More importantly, maintaining the weight matters.
Low-Impact
Workout
No
gym? No bulky equipment? No problem! A good workout doesn't need expensive or
specialised machines. Props such as balls, blocks, ropes and chairs keep
low-impact workouts interesting and set them apart from routine gym workouts.
Nothing is compromised. In fact, studio workouts bring equal, or maybe even
greater, workout benefits, such as cardio, toning, sweating and lots more.
Yogalates
What
happens when yoga meets Pilates? Yogalates! A mix of yoga poses and Pilates
exercises, with yoga poses forming the core of many Pilates exercises. Imagine
moving through a series of stretches and strengthening exercises, taking a
couple of breaths in between before continuing. Unlike Pilates sessions,
Yogalates incorporates breathwork, bringing together stretching, strengthening
and mindful breathing to support overall health and wellness.
Zen
Yoga
Heard
of Zen Yoga? Yes, Zen Yoga is rooted in Hatha Yoga. Zen Yoga goes beyond
stretching. It is the ultimate practice for the body, mind and soul, combining
awareness, yoga poses, mindfulness, breathwork and meditation. Zen Yoga is for
everyone, regardless of gender or age (14 years and above). It is much needed
for slowing down, supporting mental well-being and cultivating calmness for
overall health and wellness.
Zen
Yoga is here to stay in the 21st century. With today's fast-paced lifestyle,
daily hustle and bustle, and constant demands of the digital world, Zen Yoga is
a gentle and slow approach to reducing stress, sleeping better and maintaining
good health.
Low-Impact
Wellness Dance
Who
says exercise has to be serious? A little laughter, a few comical moves and a
variety of songs - why not make fitness fun?
Combining
yoga, Pilates, Zumba and modern dance, Low-Impact Wellness Dance brings
different steps and body rhythms into an easy-to-follow session. The dance is
gentle and puts less pressure on the legs and knees. Short comfort breaks in
between allow the heartbeat to settle before slowly getting back into the
groove.
Let's
dance for self-love, happiness and the feel-good factor, inside and out.
CORPORATE HOLISTIC WELLNESS
All work and no holistic wellness?
Set aside some time, or even half a day. It can include whatever the general consensus is.
