Gabrielle Mendoza, a renowned trainer in restorative yoga and the creator of the Uncovering the Oasis Within concept, has been specially invited to hold classes at Banyan Tree Krabi resort in southern Thailand.
During her 10-day residency as visiting practitioner, Gabrielle has offered a plethora of mindful and holistic practices, including Vinyasa Yoga, meditation and sound healing, as well as her signature classes of restorative yoga, where one maintains deep breaths and maintains asanas (yoga poses) for longer – a technique accredited with alleviating stress, and helping with sleep, flexibility, and overall wellbeing.
Based in Singapore, Gabrielle says that she “crumbled under the stress of the corporate world” and later only reclaimed her lost self through yoga. She says she now follows her dharma to help others manage stress through the means of mindfulness, meditation, and the discipline of yoga.
Her appearance at Banyan Tree Krabi is another step forward in the hotel’s “Wellbeing Sanctuary” programme, which was initiated in 2021 and allows guests an option to combine a leisure vacation with a tailor-made daily itinerary designed to enrich mind, body and soul – from meditation and spa treatments to Thai boxing and nature trails – complemented with a nutritious diet and personal consultations.
Located on tranquil Tubkaek Beach, some 25 km west of the town of Krabi, Banyan Tree Krabi. The resort backs into a lush forested national park, and each of rooms faces westward towards uninhabited islands in the Andaman Sea. It has 72 pool suites and villas, among them seven two-bedroom options, one three-bedroom villa, and a majestic seven-bedroom Presidential Beachfront Pool Villa. Other facilities include two restaurants, a beach bar, a beach club, a kids’ club, a fitness centre, meeting rooms, and the award-winning Banyan Tree Spa Krabi.
