Eco-Healing: connecting people with nature

 

Nature Seychelles' new and unique Green Health Program combines yoga and fitness in natural surroundings, with conservation activities. Designed to combine a diverse range of classes, workshops and special events, it offers participants the opportunity to explore and develop every aspect of their well being – be it physical strength, aerobic fitness, mental and emotional wellness, and diet - by using nature as the pivot.

The aim is to use the incredible environment we have around us as natural therapy and to get people interested in nature through a different route.
