Mental health is one of life’s most essential yet ignored aspects. Mental health includes physiological, emotional, and social well-being. 

Sometimes, all we need is to disconnect to find inner peace. Staying local or traveling to connect with mother nature is one of the best ways to bring balance to all aspects of our lives. 

In my attempt to find a place to help me disconnect from the current affairs of life, I found YO1. YO1 is a luxury resort situated in the tranquil Catskills Mountains in Monticello, New York.

The word YO1, or “Yovan” in Sanskrit, means youthful. It represents the human quest to attain eternal youth through a complete rejuvenation of mind, body, and spirit. The beautiful gardens that surround the place bring a sense of calm. The elevated farm-fresh vegan cuisine is a delight for the mind-body connection. For me, YO1 is a wellness destination unlike any other.

Benefits of Nature-Based Meditation

Meditating outdoors can help increase the production of dopamine and oxytocin which can help you reduce hypertension and oxidative stress.
