Beditation

Beditation is a new buzzword that refers to the concept of meditation and yoga before bed in order to achieve a better night’s sleep. We think it’s rather a good word. It has achieved ‘official status’ since the NHS declared that the advantages of beditation have been clinically proven and that it’s the “ideal bedtime wind-down”. There’s even a NHS video that you can take part in.

We’ve been quietly introducing in:spa retreat guests to the idea of beditation for over 10 years, but we’ve been calling it ‘restorative evening yoga’. Every evening on in:spa retreats, the yoga teacher takes a class that’s designed to stretch your body and unwind and relax your mind. It works beautifully, and certainly helps promote a good night’s sleep. If you’d like to experience the health, fitness and detox benefits of an in:spa retreat (in Marrakech, Andalusia or the South of France) – and enjoy a good night’s sleep – see all forthcoming retreat dates & destinations.
