At Carnoustie, physical, mental and spiritual well-being is considered as the ‘soul’ focus to reach a state of optimal health and guests can achieve this through different types of yoga like the Classic Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, etc.
Carnoustie puts the yogic philosophy into practice for total wellness. Some of the eight yogic limbs are Yamas or Ethical Code of Conduct – Truthfulness, Niyamas or Personal Discipline – Self study, Asanas or Posture – Strong and fit body, Pranayama or Breath Control – ‘Prana’ means life force and ‘Yama’ means control of prana – control of life force, etc. The Rejuvenation programme held here includes Abhyangam which is a famous body massage in ayurveda and it can be used therapeutically and the massage is customised according to each individual, to suit his or her disease or condition.
