For many people, vacation is a time to forget about your usual responsibilities. Simply relax beside the Caribbean Sea on a breathtaking stretch of beach. Hear the waves, feel the northeast passat and enjoy the lovely sunset.
The moment you enter Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa a sense of tranquility and well being embraces you. Our intimate resort is well known for the peace and quietness guests often long for during their holiday. Guests can relax, let loose and liberate themselves from their daily life routine.
Next to our outdoor Caribbean-Balinese Spa we offer our guests an unique opportunity to reconnect to themselves in Aruba.
Together with Prana, a center for Health, Yoga & Training, we make this possible. Every Thursday morning from 8:00 a.m. till 9:00 a.m. Ellen, a seasoned yoga practitioner and teacher or one of her Prana colleagues lead a yoga class on our beach surrounded by palm trees.
Originally from Holland, Ellen has lived on Aruba for over 10 years. She first became familiar with yoga while traveling through Asia where she discovered the unique science of re-establishing the connection between the body, mind and soul. Having practiced yoga for over 28 years already, Ellen developed an integrated yoga style where Tibetan, Egypt and Dru yoga come together. Five years ago she opened her own ‘Health & Yoga Training Center Prana’ and it is becoming more and more popular under Aruba’s residents and visitors.
The sessions on the beach at Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa present Hatha Yoga, which entails special breathing techniques and light meditation. The purpose of this class is to balance the body and mind in order to enjoy greater well being.
I recently attended one of Prana’s classes, anxious to experience the science of yoga. We slowly began to stretch our arms, neck and legs and focused on our breathing. After warming up, we started with several standing postures and from that point we proceeded our postures gradually to the ground. When we relaxed into the different postures, we learned to focus on our body, mind, breathing and to feel connected to the ground. I truly experienced staying connected to the present moment and not let my mind analyzing about my work or what my planning will be for the day. When the class finished I needed some time before standing up, because I never experienced such calmness in my body, mind and heart. Prana’s yoga classes at Manchebo Beach Resort are the classes you have always been looking for.
Together with Prana we try to develop more health activities to offer the best service for our guests.
