YO1 has fine-tuned its operating procedures to minimize contact risk and improved hygiene protocols to exceed best-practice guidelines of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). During their closure, YO1 facilities had undergone rigorous, ongoing deep-cleaning and disinfection with cleaning products to reduce the spread of viruses, bacteria and germs.

This new set of health standards and protocols includes the following:

• Reducing capacity and hours of operation for designated areas.
• Cleaning and sanitizing guest rooms before arrival.
• Wearing masks or other face covers by everyone is required here in YO1.
• Ensuring YO1 operating standards adhere to current social distancing guidelines as required by regulations.
• Increasing the frequency of cleaning and sanitization, especially high-touch surfaces.
• Installing soap dispensers and hand-sanitizing stations located throughout the property.
• All YO1 staff will undergo a rigorous Covid-19 Training program, a health check before starting work, sanitize their hands frequently and wear masks while at work.

Ayurveda

Ayurveda states that emotional and physical attributes have an effect and influence on the doshas (body energy). When one dosha becomes aggravated with worry, anxiety and depression, it weakens the nervous system and triggers mental imbalance. At YO1, we will teach you how Ayurveda helps curb the aggravated dosha, which envisages a stable and peaceful mind through self-realization and self-control, and appropriate changes in diet and lifestyle.

Naturopathy 

Naturopathy focuses on the body’s natural response to anxiety by tackling it with natural healing methods. At YO1, we use various massages (Frankincense oil relaxing massage), hydrotherapies, mud therapy, foot reflexology, healthy juices and diet in such a way that the mind calms down and anxiety reduces. Here we follow a disciplined daily routine that helps tune the body’s biological clock to nature, resulting in establishing a normal hormonal chain.

Yoga

At YO1, guests follow various yogic practices that improve the breathing pattern, and this enhances an individual’s awareness aiding in managing the thoughts arising in one’s mind better. One becomes well equipped emotionally to handle any given situation, preventing anxiety. The Yogic practices help in inducing a tranquil, receptive state of mind. A guest learns a yogic way of life which further assists in keeping anxiety at bay.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient practice that involves inserting needles into acupoints on the body and helps improve symptoms of anxiety. These needles when inserted at specific meridians cause the nervous system to improve chemicals like Serotonin that induce the body’s natural ability to heal itself and stimulate the part of the brain which controls emotions such as anxiety.
