4. Practice yoga and mat Pilates on the lawn along the historic Cairns Esplanade in Queensland, Australia, followed by healthy snacks at a nearby restaurant.
5. Immerse yourself in a therapeutic mud bath at an outdoor spa and hot spring in Nha Trang, Vietnam. After you’re thoroughly relaxed, rinse off under an invigorating waterfall.
6. Participate in a Kandyan dance session with a guru in Mount Lavinia, Sri Lanka. The traditional form of therapy originated in the nearby city of Kandy and is said to maximize energy and relieve stress.
7. Soothe your feet with reflexology while sailing down Bangkok’s Chao Phraya River on a rice barge.
8. Sample organic tea that’s grown in the Vietnamese mountains for more than 2,000 years, then enjoy a traditional vegetarian meal in Saigon, Vietnam.
9. In an ancient Chinese village, experience a Chinese Medicine treatment such as acupuncture, cupping therapy, or moxibustion to restore the body-mind balance.
10. Feel the rejuvenating effects of being covered in warm black volcanic sand on the beaches of Ibusuki, Japan. The sand is naturally heated from the underground hot springs, creating benefits that include improved blood circulation, detoxification, and increased blood-oxygen levels.
