In the age of global digitization, erratic schedules of life and a constant desire to conquer the heights of Olympus (read: the career ladder), we are particularly prone to exhaustion. And let our grandmothers say this is all nonsense, but you are not alone in your desire to escape the bustle of the city. Our meeting with Green Flow in Sochi, the first Russian hotel to join the international association Healing Hotels of the World, was after another burnout and lack of any motivation to keep going.
But, before we talk about its benefits, perhaps let’s start from afar and explain what the concept of healing is (from the English healing – “healing”). It is based on what is so necessary for the modern inhabitants of the metropolis: the careful change of habits in an atmosphere of complete relaxation and harmony.
In other words, it is a “place of power” where you disconnect from society and its negative factors, immerse yourself in various practices, and heal yourself with a balanced diet and quality sleep.
To be more precise: no stress, maximum silence or the pleasant sounds of nature, as well as as many wellness programs as possible in the SPA centre. All this drew us to the Green Flow Hotel. Rebooting happens at all levels: physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual. In other words, a sanatorium of new realities.
What is the difference between healing hotels and others?
Location
Most often they are found in picturesque places. For example, Green Flow was built at an altitude of 1100 meters in the resort of Rosa Khutor, in an ecologically clean place where the air of the national park has already improved.
Among other things, such a hotel is distinguished from the rest by its interior design: natural materials used in decoration and decor, the absence of bright colors and memorable design elements – minimalism in its purest form.
Nutrition
Yes, the hotel restaurant is focused on balanced nutrition, but you won’t see standard dishes like buckwheat and steamed chicken breast here. The Green Flow menu is prepared primarily from locally produced organic products using the latest technologies that preserve all the benefits. And the most important plus is that the menu is updated every three months according to the season and the relevance of products.
physical activity
In this case, you must first understand that no one will force you to do sports. The concept of recovery suggests that it is impossible to impose a healthy lifestyle on people – this is additional stress that has nothing to do with inner harmony. However, everything is thought out to the smallest detail in the hotel:
skiing in the winter, Nordic walking routes in the warm season, group and individual fitness classes as well as various types of yoga, where even beginners can find something to their liking. A bonus to sports activities is a self-knowledge program. For example, we managed to get to the lesson “Psychological portrait by date of birth” and neuromeditation. What, new knowledge and experience never hurt anyone.
SPA zone
This part of the hotel is perhaps the most interesting. The SPA includes a thermal zone (containing a Turkish bath, Finnish and biosauna, contrasting fonts and even an experience shower), as well as cosmetology and massage rooms where procedures are chosen according to your wishes. The entire program of the SPA center is aimed at strengthening immunity, increasing energy levels, detoxing and comprehensively improving vitality and emotional background.
We tried dry flotation, pressotherapy and massage, which aim to completely relax the body and get rid of clamps. And I must admit that the masters are not inferior to those in Moscow. In addition, in Green Flow, unlike Moscow, it is possible to continue the relaxation program by leaving the SPA center to the illuminated and panoramic mountain view infinity pool out of season.
