Elite Island Resorts, representing an impressive collection of unique beachfront properties in the Caribbean, proudly announces the launch of the Caribbean’s first scuba-yoga program at its luxury-inclusive spa resort LaSource.
Located in picturesque St. George’s, Grenada, LaSource is a leader in the Caribbean for its comprehensive all-inclusive program that carefully blends a luxury getaway with a commitment to wellness and well-being. The new offering is a welcomed addition to the resort’s already extensive list of complimentary services and amenities: a complimentary spa treatment each day, excluding arrival and departures days; all meals and beverages; a full day program of land, water and holistic activities; and more.
As a part of the new program, guests can select three morning dives over a seven-night stay. The dives are then balanced with Pranayama yoga techniques, meditation exercises and underwater buoyancy lessons, thereby enhancing the overall dive experience. The program is especially beneficial to those who may have initial fears of diving as the meditation element helps maintain a positive mindset for the best experience underwater.
“Pranyama aids dive performance and gives beginners confidence,” said Dr. Manoj Kutteri, the resort’s resident holistic program director. “The specific techniques within the breathing exercises strengthen the lungs and help develop greater ability to breathe with continuity. They also de-stress and create openness of the mind to the quiet world underwater.”
Aquanuats, a group of diving professionals whose experience spans sixteen years, is managing the program’s launch for LaSource. With five diving instructors and seven dive masters, the Aquanauts team is well suited to welcome divers to the underwater delights of Grenada’s seas.
“There is a general consensus that yoga and scuba diving complement each other, given the emphasis on quality of breath,” said Gerlinde Seupal, director of Aquanauts. “Habitual patterns are challenged in both activities. Our mind is asked to explore new dimensions of our body and its movements in yoga, and diving requires openness to a new environment physically and emotionally.”
Located on the southwest tip of Grenada on Pink Gin Beach, LaSource serves as an ideal base camp to explore the island’s impressive 22 wrecks. Surrounded by 40 acres of lush tropical gardens, the resort offers first-class amenities that combine the best of an active beach vacation with a luxurious spa retreat. LaSource is conveniently situated just five minutes from the Maurice Bishop International Airport (GND) and 15 minutes from Grenada’s capital, St. George’s. All-inclusive rates include airport transfers, all food and beverage and a wide variety of land, water and holistic activities. For diet-restricted guests, gluten-free and vegetarian meal options are available.
