Wellbeing from Within: Rewiring the Nervous System
Join Gabrielle at her Banyan Tree Krabi residency
6-15 December 2024
Banyan Tree Krabi welcomes Gabrielle Mendoza, principal trainer for Restorative Yoga at Pure Yoga Singapore, and creator of Uncovering the Oasis Within.
During my 10-day visiting practitioner residency, I will be offering a plethora of practices that will take you on a journey back to homeostasis - where you learn the art of holding space for yourself to unravel as you need, without fear or judgment, so that the body can fulfill its own healing potential and recuperate naturally from anxiety, burnout, chronic pain and insomnia.
The curated experiences will be framed by mindfulness-based stress reduction techniques, breathwork, guided relaxation, and accompanied by the resonance of singing bowls which are known to relax brainwave patterns and open the pathway for one to learn how to pause and practice the art of being in the now; where there is no rush to move into the future, or contemplate the past.
Wellbeing is a lifelong journey. A path of small steps and big leaps guided by intuition, awareness, and practice. It’s an exploration of your inner self and your connection to the outside world. Often careful. Sometimes courageous. Always considered.
While everyone’s wellbeing journey is different, there are learnings and practices that universally help us find balance within our body, our mind, and our environment.
Banyan Tree’s approach to wellbeing composes of a range of multidisciplinary modalities that have been distilled and clarified into 8 universal pathways toward being well – our 8 Pillars of Wellbeing.
Wellbeing Sanctuary
Oases exist.
We all but need to dissolve the barriers within ourselves that obscure their discovery.
Our bodies were designed to be able to oscillate effortlessly between the stress and relaxation response, but life puts up so many barriers that stand in the way of our doing so.
In a world where the act of doing is more celebrated than the state of being, and success is defined by how much we can achieve; the pliability of our nervous systems is at risk because it is impossible to keep up with the constant chase.

Slow down and unwind from the inside out with a series of 20 minute-long postures and bask in the embrace of a deep meditative state that rewards the mind, body and soul with a profound sense of calm. Along with mindful breathing and customised support with props, the experience can help to elicit the body’s relaxation response to regulate the nervous system.
-
The resonance of singing bowls is used as a form of therapy, as it can guide the brain to switch to the Theta brainwave frequency, which induces a deep meditative state and brings forth a profound sense of calm. The tranquility and rejuvenation that follow this deeply immersive sound healing experience can improve sleep quality, reduce anxiety, increase mental clarity, and restore balance to your entire being.

For those dealing with jetlag and insomnia, this practice offers a gentle path to a peaceful slumber. The practice commences with diaphragmatic breathing that paves the way for one to move into the energetic body; following which awareness of prana, the vital force that rides on the breath, is cultivated as we drift away effortlessly on gentle waves of binuaral beats, lulling your body and mind into a state of bliss. Throughout, your consciousness remains awake and aware as it journeys back to the center of our being - where our true nature resides without limitation and hesitation.
The deep rest the practice provides paves the way for inspiration, wisdom and intuition to reveal themselves as the mind sleeps.
-
Along with a series of 7 mantras and affirmations that correspond to the unique energy centers that are situated along the spine, this practice involves yoga postures, breathwork and chanting to remove stagnant energy and emotional blockages.
-
A traditional Hatha Yoga practice accompanied with hands-on adjustments for personalised posture alignment techniques to maintain musculoskeletal health and improve prana flow within the body.
-
A healing practice designed to drive stiffness out of the troubled areas in the neck, shoulders and lower back with patient and attentive movements and deep releases to welcome joint mobility and freedom in the connective tissues of the body to promote optimal circulation.
