Physical Activity is Important


Regular physical activity doesn't just enhance your physical fitness; it also exerts a positive influence on your mental state. Participating in physical activity initiates the secretion of endorphins, the body's innate mood enhancers. At YO1, you will find a range of fitness activities and programs to help you stay physically active and mentally fit. You can unwind in a sprawling wellness spa or take up fitness activities in our state-of-the-art fitness center, coupled with indoor and outdoor Yoga sessions. You can also take up one of the many hiking trails that serene Catskills mountains offer and spend quality time with nature.

Taking Enough Sleep is Paramount


Do you wake up in the morning feeling drowsy? Then, you are not getting a good amount of sleep. It's crucial to highlight the profound impact of sleep on our overall well-being. Sleep isn't just a period of rest; it's a critical process that rejuvenates our body and mind. When we don't sleep enough, we open the door to low energy, irritability, and decision-making difficulties. Conditions like insomnia disrupt our sleep patterns, leading to stress and exhaustion during the day, affecting our mental health. At YO1, our Insomnia Management program effectively focuses on the pain points by stimulating sleep hormones and reducing stress, thereby improving sleep patterns. For better outcomes, you can indulge in therapies like Lavender oil aroma massage with steam, Shiro-pada Abhyangam, Acupuncture, Yoga, and Meditation.
