Conscious Body Therapy to Chakradarshan Yoga with Consuelo Saroyan (1 – 31 August 2024)
With 18 years of study and experience leading immersive retreats worldwide, holistic healer and yoga trailblazer Consuelo Saroyan blends ancient wisdom with modern techniques in her signature Conscious Body Therapy and Chakradarshan Yoga method. Drawing on centuries-old practices, Consuelo has curated a treatment menu for mind, spirit and body that ranges from Namikoshi Shiatsu and Shamanic drum journeys to group Mandala art rituals and different forms of yoga practice.
A transformative blend of ancient Tui Na techniques and contemporary methods, Consuelo’s signature Conscious Body Therapy invites Amilla guests to embark on a journey where Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) meets innovation, releasing tension and revitalising energy flow through cupping, meridian stimulation, and the use of Gua Sha tools. In her Namikoshi Shiatsu Therapy sessions, Consuelo provides a short consultation before applying pressure with thumbs, fingers, palms, elbows, and feet to stimulate the body’s meridians and promote relaxation (both 75 minutes; USD250++ / approx. GBP195++ per person).

GBP35++ per person). Guests seeking emotional release and spiritual connection can join Consuelo on a private Shamanic drum journey (60mins; USD180++ / approx.
