Throughout the World’s Best Awards, scores are rounded to the nearest hundredth of a point; in the event of an exact tie, properties share the same ranking.
YOGIC BREATHING THERAPY
Controlled, conscious breathing techniques are the basis of pranayama, a yoga practice that helps relieve tension, increase metabolism, and calm the mind for deep meditation. (In Sanskrit, prang means “life force” or “breath”; yama is “discipline.”) This passive therapy is part of a private consultation on Vedic philosophy with Dr. Saraswati Dwarakanat, held in a tranquil lagoon pavilion at Parrot Cay’s Como Shambhala spa in the Turks and Caicos. Pranayama is also taught by yogis at Ananda-in the Himalayas near Rishikesh in the Himalayas, and the Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa. The Bliss Spa, in western Los Angeles, has an 85-minute triple-oxygen facial for those who have time for only a quick breath of fresh air.
