Unusual tourism: how to spend the holidays in May with the benefit of the body and the mind

A conscious alternative to such holidays is tourism without haste. It is a leisure format, where the main objective is not to see as much as possible, but to feel more deeply: yourself, nature, moment. An expert told the main advantages of such relaxed tourism and the best places for him.

This is a trip without running or overload. Rest in where you don’t “realize the plan”, but you really get.

The best of all – in places where nature and care are connected. It can be a hotel in the mountains, a glamping, a retrite center or a spa space with thermal springs. It is important that the program is soft, sustained, but not obsessive: walks, respiratory practices, easy physical activity, balanced nutrition. No need to follow the “compulsory program” – it is important to choose what really fills.

Here are some practices that will help the holidays heal.
