Meditation and Mindfulness by the Arabian Sea

      • Anapanasati – awareness of breath to cultivate present-moment clarity
      • Body-scan relaxation – releasing muscular tension from head to toe
      • Loving-kindness meditation – developing empathy and emotional balance
      • Sound bowl therapy – harmonizing brainwaves through resonant tones

Note: We do not conduct sessions directly on the beach. However, on special occasions, Sunrise Yoga is organized on the lawn area.

Ayurveda Integration for Deep Healing

Rockholm’s Ayurvedic doctors conduct an in-depth Prakriti analysis to determine each guest’s dosha constitution. Tailor-made therapies may include:

      • Abhyanga full-body oil massage for lymphatic drainage
      • Shirodhara to soothe mental agitation
      • Herbal steam bath to expel toxins
      • Marma therapy to stimulate vital energy points
