I always pay very close attention when these scenes come in movies: the beach, the sun, early mornings, not a living soul \u2013 only the surfer and his buddy the board. The magic stops when a shark gets in the mix. In those moments I think how that\u2019s a risk every surfer is aware of \u2013 and maybe I should continue to enjoy surfing on television only. And then I think how it would be really great if this was done in conditions that are kind of more, let\u2019s say, controlled.
\nWave taming is as old as swimming, according to Google. The original form of surfing is known as bodysurfing, and as the name suggests, the surfer would use his or her own body to stay afloat on the water surface, without using a board or any other aids. Surprisingly, Polynesians are the ones who first started using the board in surfing! The art of surfing \u2013 enalu in Hawaiian \u2013 was first discovered by Joseph Banks, who traveled on the British Royal Navy research vessel HMS Endeavour, commanded by Lieutenant James Cook.
\nThe ship set sail towards Australia and New Zealand, stopping to anchor in Tahiti. At the time the people there lived in tribes and local communities. The chief was traditionally the person who was the most skilled in riding the waves, and his board was made of the best wood. Only the ruling class had the right to use the best beaches and surfboards, and common people were denied access. However, they were able to earn the honor to go there if they were exceptionally good surfers.
\n
If you ask me, this is pure discrimination against people like me, who are not so good at surfing. Okay, people who are not surfers at all. And so I came across URBANSURF. The solution for those of us aspiring to surf. It\u2019s a bit far, but who knows. Perhaps by the end of writing this piece, I\u2019ll end up moving there. If anyone wants to come along, feel free to.
\nURBANSURF is the brand of the first surf park in Australia. That\u2019s right \u2013 it\u2019s a park, or rather a lagoon, a specially designed surface that surf fans can use regardless of weather conditions because the waves are man-made. The waves made here are the real deal, ideal for surfing!
\nInterestingly, the lagoon is divided into two different surf zones. The peak zone, intended for experienced, seasoned surfers (which I will soon become, as soon as I move), is located in the very center of the lagoon, while the Bay zone is placed along the edges of the park, perfect for beginners and novices in the sport. The dimensions of the standard lagoon are around 2.4 square meters, but the surface area may vary depending on the spot where the lagoon is built.
\nNow, you\u2019re probably curious to know how these waves are made. Me, too. The waves in t e lagoon are generated by the water moving over a low rail that actually forms the waves, and then the water basically breaks on itself \u2013 just like when an ocean wave moves across a reef and shoal. In this artificial bay, the water is moved by a mechanical device placed on the central axis of the lagoon.\u00a0The device moves more than 30 tons of water at a speed of more than 6 m/s to make a perfect surfing wave.
\n![\"\"](\"https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/urbansurf.jpg\")
Several types of waves are made in the lagoon \u2013 from the extremely small ones and somewhat bigger ones to those more than 2.1m high intended for professionals. The size and speed of the waves in the lagoon vary, so there\u2019s a wave for everyone – from beginners to experts. At one wave per eight seconds, the result is more than 1,000 made-for-surfing waves in a single hour. Impressive, to say the least.
\nAnd then there\u2019s the question of safety. This is all nice and good, it sounds like great fun, but is it safe? Surfing experts say that surfing under typical conditions is usually a very harmless activity (the shark immediately pops up in my mind!, but, if the experts say so…).
\nSafety is a priority for URBANSURF. Surfing under these conditions actually eliminates, regulates, or minimizes most hazards and risks that this sport entails. In addition, specially trained lifeguards watch over the surfers, and security cameras cover every corner of the
\nlagoon. In addition to ensuring safety, the security cameras also record your surfing adventures, and you can have the recording for an extra charge. Even if you surf at night, thanks to excellent lighting in place. In fact, it turns out that it\u2019s much safer for a surfer to fall off the board in this lagoon than in the ocean because there are no invisible dangers below the surface.
![\"\"](\"https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/bigstock-141232544.jpg\")
And what about energy consumption? Okay, they must be spending massive amounts of power. One hundred percent. Another wrong assumption \u2013 the park uses the most energy efficient generators available. Over a period of one year, they spend about the same amount of power as a small indoor water park. They get power from various renewable sources, mostly from solar panels and wind power systems.
\nAll this sounds too good to be true. There has to be something that\u2019s wrong! At least some tiny little thing… While I was researching this topic, it came to my mind that I would never want to live anywhere near this lagoon because of unbearable noise that the machines probably make. I imagined surfers having fun, while I\u2019m forced to wear earplugs round the clock. And then I was proved wrong! The machines don\u2019t make any noise \u2013 they\u2019re silent. And while they\u2019re moving water, you can actually hear only the hushed hum of waves, just like living on the beach. So, no sharks, just completely safe surfing and enjoying the sun and nice weather.
\nI\u2019m moving to Australia. And that\u2019s final.

Most people associate yoga with one branch of yoga practice, Hatha. Hatha is all about the basics in these slower moving classes that require you to hold each pose for a few breaths. Ashtanga is a traditional and structured system of more complex movements and positions, and I enjoy it the most. It generates internal heat and builds strength, but just like with everything else, skipping steps is not always a good idea. I wouldn\u2019t recommend it for beginners.
\nVinyasa yoga combines these two. It is a dynamic practice that links movement and breath together in a dance-like way. Acro yoga is a less known concept, performed usually in pairs consisting of a base and a flyer. On base\u2019s hands or legs, the flyer can perform a wide range of movements and positions. This is a wonderful way of gaining trust and harmonization, combined with other benefits that yoga brings \u2013 building flexibility and strength, improvement of balance and focus. The transmission of these qualities from a yoga mat to one\u2019s personal and business aspect of life is invaluable asset.
\nStress influences all organ systems. It affects digestion, skin, but accumulated tension can be usually noticed in upper back muscles, shoulders and/or neck and lead to headache. These areas of the body are being targeted in every yoga class. A special way of breathing, Ujjayi, is additional help. You can practice it even while you are sitting at your office table. First, seal your lips and start to breathe in and out through your nose. Take inhalation that is slightly deeper than normal. Exhale slowly while constricting the muscles in the back of your throat.
\nIf you\u2019re doing this correctly, you should sound like waves in the ocean. You should keep attention on the breath. For a few minutes, focus only on this sound, no matter what is happening around you. It is not easy, but give it a try.
Only a few minutes of focused Ujjayi breathing can release tension and tight areas of the body, alleviate headaches, even lower blood pressure and regulate heartbeat. This is an only first aid, of course.
\nYoga is for everybody and every type of a body. Only important thing to remember is to choose an experienced teacher to adapt class for the needs of a specific person and body condition, age and health. Some people tend to say \u201cI\u2019m not flexible enough to do yoga\u201d. Saying that is like saying you\u2019re too dirty to take a bath.
\nSedentary lifestyle and disrupt work-life balance lead to absenteeism. Undoubtedly, companies should rather offer well designed type of physical activity during workday such as yoga than deal with consequences. It is known that quality time during the breaks can increase work efficiency. Yoga class is ideal for filling those breaks. Excluding financial factors, this is one of the best ways for a company to show care and appreciation to its people.
\n![\"Tittibhasana](\"https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/Rada-3.jpg\")
There is no posture which can be described as the most demanding. Some people put a lot of effort in conquering postures that are relatively simple. For some other, even difficult ones are going smoothly. It surely depends of a body\u2019s physical condition and of practitioner\u2019s personality also. It is often said that \u201cYoga is not about touching your toes; it\u2019s about what you learn on the way down.\u201d Accept the challenge. Expand your limits. That\u2019s what it is all about.
\nFirefly pose is one of my favorite challenges. It is an arm balance pose that requires more core strength than arm strength. Lifting yourself off the floor by carefully shifting your center of gravity can be really complex. With an inhale, you should stretch your legs out to the
\nsides as straight as you can, keeping your pelvis high to make your legs parallel to the floor.
\nI\u2019m not even close. However, I\u2019m happy to share with you that I\u2019m constantly improving.

\nWhen I was a kid I was fascinated by the famous book Yoga by Jasmina Puljo, which my mother used to practice yoga. After years of practicing different sports, my body needed
\nsomething soothing, something that impacts overall health, not just the physical but on all levels. I feel like yoga started doing me, and I merely opened up, let go, accepted it, and respected it as a discipline of self-development, which it inevitably leads to \u2013 on the physical, mental, and spiritual level.

Breathing techniques release repressed emotions, fears, and frustrations. They activate breathing, which helps to get more oxygen into the body and the brain, in turn affecting the emotional and mental health and relaxation. We practice total or full breathing, learning to breathe properly and to consciously control the breathing process. Full breathing includes three basic modes of breathing \u2013 abdominal, thoracic, and clavicular (when the air fills the top third of the lungs) \u2013 and when done one after the other these form a single whole.
\nDeep, calm, and balanced breathing is vital for our health because it balances and calms the body and the mind, fills us with energy, and makes us feel rested and relaxed, while rapid and shallow breathing has a very negative effect \u2013 it increases anxiety, tension, stress, and pain.
\nConsequently, breathing is important both in yoga and in everyday life.
Mantras are sound vibrations, quantum technology, designed to neutralize the mind and thoughts. Chanting or reciting mantras stimulate 84 reflex points in the mouth directly affecting the hypothalamus, which is connected to the pituitary and pineal glands, sending
\na signal to every cell in the body to relax, be neutral, and become one with infinity. Sound and vibration can have a powerful effect on people. The most practiced mantra is singing the syllable AUM or OM since it is considered to be closest to the universal vibration that
\nhuman beings can receive.
Mantras wake the spirit, energize the body, relax the mind, and open the door to meditation. Meditation, especially Samadhi \u2013 identifying yourself with the subject or the idea of meditation and the highest form of concentration in meditation, as an exceptional
\nstate of mindfulness ranks highest among individual achievements in the philosophy of yoga.
\nMeditation and relaxation techniques deeply cleanse the mind and emotions of fatigue, anxiety, stress, frustration, deep-rooted fears, limitations, and conditionality.
![\"Suzana](\"https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/Suzana-4.jpg\" "\\"Suzana")
Visualization and practicing concentration or focusing attention in yoga and meditation are used for internal awakening. By visualizing symbols, images, colors, or internal sounds, we communicate with the subconscious, because this is the language of the subconscious mind, reviving our experiences and repressed impressions. In yoga, concentration \u2013 Dharana (concentrated thoughts and attention) \u2013 is at the higher level of physical and spiritual human development and it is a prerequisite for using contemplation and meditation to reach the very top \u2013 Samadhi \u2013 the last segment of the spiritual discipline.
\nThere are many ways to practice focusing attention and these should be switched, and they significantly help to improve observation and memory, as well as playback of impressions. Prolonging the mental effort to reach deeper into the essence of an idea or the object of concentration leads to the penultimate degree of spiritual development, to meditation \u2013 Dhyana (contemplation and meditation). By using visualization and concentration we can see how superficial our observations are, not only concerning the things that surround us and that we use daily, but also in relation to the people whom we often meet or even who are very close to us.
\nPracticing yoga affects the entire physical, mental, and emotional health, removes the accumulated stress, tension, and anxiety that form within us every day, and fills us with positive energy. It develops flexibility and relaxation of the whole body, it brings the mind and emotions to a state of relaxation. and balance, which makes it different from other physical
\nactivities.
Yoga is generally an effective discipline that makes us stronger as individuals and as people, on the physical, mental, and spiritual level. Hatha yoga, among other things, can be seen as a complete exercise of the autonomous nervous system. Yoga can help with health issues, mitigating most of them and some eliminating entirely. Thanks to its effect on the body, mind, and emotions, yoga battles issues on all fronts, working simultaneously to alleviate the symptoms and eliminate the cause. On the physical level, exercising the spine through yoga brings fantastic results and full correction of the spinal column.
\nOn the psychological or mental level, the one that\u2019s always running and pressuring with endless thoughts, in time we calm a restless mind since yoga helps us to be present in the moment, fully aware of everything now. Regular practice of yoga results in inner balance, a state of happiness and fulfillment, and health and immunity are raised to a higher level.

Almost all positions in yoga \u2013 asanas \u2013 are of special importance, there\u2019s a whole science behind them. It\u2019s not an easy task to pick just one position, but this time I would like to suggest an exercise made up of 12 positions \u2013 the sun salutation \u2013 Surya Namaskar. The ancient technique of honoring and expressing gratitude to the sun, which is the source of all life forms on the planet.
\nThe solar plexus is, as the focal point of the human body, associated with the sun. This technique encourages intuitive abilities and increases creativity. It improves blood circulation throughout the body, maintains health and immunity, heart, liver, bowel, chest, neck, feet \u2013 from head to toe every part of the body is activated. The sun salutation is an excellent cardiovascular workout and a good way to lose weight.

\n", "content_text": "Suzana Jakovic, a yoga instructor with experience and commitment to change in education using a deep knowledge of the yoga philosophy and psychology, as well as the particular importance of yoga in maintaining a healthy body and a healthy mind. According to her, yoga as a healthy lifestyle brings relaxation and happiness to everyday life.\nPracticing yoga comes with lots of benefits. Which one You may ask? Read in the article Yoga as a Way of Life.\nHow and why did you start doing yoga?\nWhen I was a kid I was fascinated by the famous book Yoga by Jasmina Puljo, which my mother used to practice yoga. After years of practicing different sports, my body needed\nsomething soothing, something that impacts overall health, not just the physical but on all levels. I feel like yoga started doing me, and I merely opened up, let go, accepted it, and respected it as a discipline of self-development, which it inevitably leads to \u2013 on the physical, mental, and spiritual level.\nWhy is breathing so important in yoga?\nSuzana Jakovic, Yoga Instructor\nBreathing techniques release repressed emotions, fears, and frustrations. They activate breathing, which helps to get more oxygen into the body and the brain, in turn affecting the emotional and mental health and relaxation. We practice total or full breathing, learning to breathe properly and to consciously control the breathing process. Full breathing includes three basic modes of breathing \u2013 abdominal, thoracic, and clavicular (when the air fills the top third of the lungs) \u2013 and when done one after the other these form a single whole.\nDeep, calm, and balanced breathing is vital for our health because it balances and calms the body and the mind, fills us with energy, and makes us feel rested and relaxed, while rapid and shallow breathing has a very negative effect \u2013 it increases anxiety, tension, stress, and pain.\nConsequently, breathing is important both in yoga and in everyday life.\nWhat are mantras and meditation for?\nMantras are sound vibrations, quantum technology, designed to neutralize the mind and thoughts. Chanting or reciting mantras stimulate 84 reflex points in the mouth directly affecting the hypothalamus, which is connected to the pituitary and pineal glands, sending\na signal to every cell in the body to relax, be neutral, and become one with infinity. Sound and vibration can have a powerful effect on people. The most practiced mantra is singing the syllable AUM or OM since it is considered to be closest to the universal vibration that\nhuman beings can receive.\nMantras wake the spirit, energize the body, relax the mind, and open the door to meditation. Meditation, especially Samadhi \u2013 identifying yourself with the subject or the idea of meditation and the highest form of concentration in meditation, as an exceptional\nstate of mindfulness ranks highest among individual achievements in the philosophy of yoga.\nMeditation and relaxation techniques deeply cleanse the mind and emotions of fatigue, anxiety, stress, frustration, deep-rooted fears, limitations, and conditionality.\nWhile practicing yoga, we often use the power of visualization. (A/N: Imagine you\u2019re a golden egg, a star, a triangle, and the like.) What is it for?\nSuzana Jakovic, Yoga Instructor\nVisualization and practicing concentration or focusing attention in yoga and meditation are used for internal awakening. By visualizing symbols, images, colors, or internal sounds, we communicate with the subconscious, because this is the language of the subconscious mind, reviving our experiences and repressed impressions. In yoga, concentration \u2013 Dharana (concentrated thoughts and attention) \u2013 is at the higher level of physical and spiritual human development and it is a prerequisite for using contemplation and meditation to reach the very top \u2013 Samadhi \u2013 the last segment of the spiritual discipline.\nThere are many ways to practice focusing attention and these should be switched, and they significantly help to improve observation and memory, as well as playback of impressions. Prolonging the mental effort to reach deeper into the essence of an idea or the object of concentration leads to the penultimate degree of spiritual development, to meditation \u2013 Dhyana (contemplation and meditation). By using visualization and concentration we can see how superficial our observations are, not only concerning the things that surround us and that we use daily, but also in relation to the people whom we often meet or even who are very close to us.\nBased on your experience so far, what difficulties and issues yoga works best for?\nPracticing yoga affects the entire physical, mental, and emotional health, removes the accumulated stress, tension, and anxiety that form within us every day, and fills us with positive energy. It develops flexibility and relaxation of the whole body, it brings the mind and emotions to a state of relaxation. and balance, which makes it different from other physical\nactivities.\nYoga is generally an effective discipline that makes us stronger as individuals and as people, on the physical, mental, and spiritual level. Hatha yoga, among other things, can be seen as a complete exercise of the autonomous nervous system. Yoga can help with health issues, mitigating most of them and some eliminating entirely. Thanks to its effect on the body, mind, and emotions, yoga battles issues on all fronts, working simultaneously to alleviate the symptoms and eliminate the cause. On the physical level, exercising the spine through yoga brings fantastic results and full correction of the spinal column.\nOn the psychological or mental level, the one that\u2019s always running and pressuring with endless thoughts, in time we calm a restless mind since yoga helps us to be present in the moment, fully aware of everything now. Regular practice of yoga results in inner balance, a state of happiness and fulfillment, and health and immunity are raised to a higher level.\nPossibilities open up for solving problems in easier and more effective ways, with less stress and frustration, everyday functioning becomes easier.\nCan you single out one position that is especially important? For what reason?\nSuzana Jakovic, Yoga Instructor\nAlmost all positions in yoga \u2013 asanas \u2013 are of special importance, there\u2019s a whole science behind them. It\u2019s not an easy task to pick just one position, but this time I would like to suggest an exercise made up of 12 positions \u2013 the sun salutation \u2013 Surya Namaskar. The ancient technique of honoring and expressing gratitude to the sun, which is the source of all life forms on the planet.\nThe solar plexus is, as the focal point of the human body, associated with the sun.

In the meantime, however, I became a mom. I was in my thirties and my neck, back, and digestion issues were getting increasingly common.
\nFor all these reasons I decided to try out yoga, even though in the beginning I did not see myself as \u201cthe yoga type.\u201d Most of the things seemed too slow, not too interesting, and with no effect. Not to mention that you\u2019re supposed to keep your eyes closed during many moves, recite mantras, and keep your focus on breathing. Putting it mildly, the practitioners look like a group of freaks or as \u2013 believe it or not \u2013 some people actually think \u2013 a cult. My third session, when we all started to laugh for five minutes for no reason, added to this feeling. However, very soon \u2013 perhaps in part because I\u2019m a nerd when it
\ncomes to exercise \u2013 I began to realize the benefits of practicing yoga.
Every little thing that you do, the breathing, and the positions \u2013 everything has a reason and an effect. Almost every day, as I\u2019m revealing layer after layer of this art of living, I am surprised and fascinated \u2013 by its simplicity, by just how logical it all is and how much it makes
\nsense. It\u2019s like those things that are so obvious, but they go unnoticed until you say them out loud. Or, for example, a thought that you completely agree with, but you weren\u2019t aware of it until you read it. Yoga is actually a way to become more aware of yourself, your actions, the people around you, and your surroundings. In addition to feeling fantastic because in that hour and a half you\u2019re doing something just for yourself, for your health and well being \u2013 which is in itself enough to feel good \u2013 my previously mentioned problems have significantly reduced. My neck and my back visibly started to get better and hurt less, and I stopped freezing up, which used to happen more than it should, especially from working on

Breathing exercises and certain positions have helped my digestion, reduced bloating, and mitigated gastritis. My response to problems and stress changed. I became much more aware of my reactions and thoughts (although there still a lot of room for improvement
\nin this area for me). I\u2019m mentioning my own issues and experience of resolving them
\nbecause most people \u2013 especially those who work sitting \u2013 have similar problems. I am aware that all this sounds a bit like an infomercial, but you\u2019re let with good faith to trust me.
Today, honestly, I think that practicing yoga is something incredibly important for mental and physical hygiene, for healthy internal organs, spine, joints, and hips, as well as for reaching inner peace and balance and reducing stress. More useful advises on stress relief You can find in article How to Deal with Stress in the Event Planning Industry. Most of us sit for eight hours at work and we are in a constant battle with time, so we usually have accelerated heart rate, and the stress just keeps accumulating. It\u2019s also sad that we have a habit of often telling bad things to ourselves when we get something wrong, when we make a mistake, or when we don\u2019t like the way we look.
\n\nif you are not prepared to change every moment, you will never know the truth – swami vivekananda
Yoga reminds us how important it is to love ourselves and our bodies. That further inspires balance with the environment, as well as health and success. Today, yoga to me absolutely
\nrepresents an integral part of my life and I often wonder how I ever managed without it. The benefits of yoga have long been recognized by companies around the world, also in our region over the last few years, and their employees can practice it during work hours. When I say this, I mainly mean that yoga improves focus and steadies breathing, which in turn reduces the level of stress we are subjected to. It nurtures our mind and teaches us to think positive about ourselves. All this results in more relaxed and happier employees, and in turn a positive working environment and increased productivity.
We had the pleasure of sitting down with two excellent yoga instructors, Suzana Jakovic and Radmila Knezevic, with a view to clear up what is yoga based on and answer common questions and concerns \u2013 both of yoga beginners and everyone else.

After hours of sitting, following lectures, or taking part in\u00a0discussions, event participants also need a time of day when they can relax, take a\u00a0short break, or refresh themselves.
\nHealthy food\u00a0at events
\nPeople have been taking more care\u00a0in regard to their diets, and they frequently\u00a0change their eating habits\u00a0in order to be healthier. As a result,\u00a0event organisers are also starting to\u00a0pay attention to creating special menus\u00a0for event catering.
\nStudies have shown that participants\u00a0actually comment most on the\u00a0food served in surveys conducted\u00a0after\u00a0events. Where possible, it is\u00a0advisable\u00a0that organisers provide\u00a0participants with options consisting\u00a0ecological foods, gluten-free, etc.,\u00a0alongside usual menus.
\nThis way, event organisers demonstrate\u00a0that they are keeping up with\u00a0trends and raising awareness of healthy\u00a0eating and healthy lifestyles.
\nHealthy foods help to boost productivity\u00a0and positive attitude.
Event organisers are advised to \u2013 if\u00a0the program allows \u2013 serve healthy\u00a0food mid-morning or mid-afternoon.\u00a0Participants should get meal schedules\u00a0in advance, so they can plan their\u00a0meals during the day.
\n![\"Healthy](\"https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/bigstock-Healthy-Foods-158632.jpg\")
The food served should be as diversified\u00a0as possible and come in small portions.\u00a0Fruit and refreshments should be available to attendees at all times. In addition to the food included in the regular menu of an event, it is advisable to add also vegetarian dishes in order to meet the needs of participants who prefer this option.
\nExercises
\nExercises and wellness activities are\u00a0an important segment of anyone\u2019s\u00a0life,\u00a0and so they represent an important part of any event\u2019s program.
\nOrganisers of events lasting several\u00a0days should ensure that participants\u00a0have these activities at their disposal.
\nMoreover, exercise and wellness\u00a0activities affect positive impressions\u00a0and nice memories of an event.
Yoga has been a common choice of\u00a0organisers as a recommended additional\u00a0activity for some time now.
\nIts usual timeslots are before lectures,\u00a0early in the morning or sometimes\u00a0during breaks between lectures.
\nRunning or walking sessions are also\u00a0common activities, depending on\u00a0the location of the event.
\nOrganisers often chose to organise\u00a0events\u00a0that run for several days at\u00a0hotels\u00a0that have wellness facilities,\u00a0so that participants can relax during\u00a0breaks or after lectures.

This year\u2019s IMEX in Frankfurt is a true\u00a0example of incorporating health\u00a0and well-being in the event itself,\u00a0part\u00a0of its program being Health and\u00a0Wellbeing\u00a0Track.
\nThis program segment consists of\u00a0different\u00a0components such as mindfulness\u00a0at events, the importance of\u00a0good\u00a0posture and the way we sit, as\u00a0well as health during travels.
\nSurprise Zumba
\nOne of the current major trends regarding\u00a0activities intended to promote\u00a0health and well-being of event\u00a0participants are surprise ten-minute\u00a0Zumba sessions. The opinion is that\u00a0a surprise ten-minute Zumba session\u00a0in the middle of a lecture can\u00a0have\u00a0positive effects on restoring focus,\u00a0and being that Zumba represents\u00a0a mix of music, dance, and movement,\u00a0participants enjoy this kind of\u00a0brief exercise.
\n[pull_quote_center]\u201cBe Well at IMEX\u201d has been\u00a0launched\u00a0and designed to help\u00a0customers stay healthy and\u00a0refreshed in the course of the\u00a0event. There\u2019s also the meditation\u00a0room\u00a0that offers activities\u00a0like\u00a0yoga,\u00a0relaxation, and\u00a0guided\u00a0meditation,\u00a0which help\u00a0participants\u00a0restore energy\u00a0between\u00a0meetings.[/pull_quote_center]
\nToday, organisers should provide a\u00a0variety\u00a0of activities and ideas in relation\u00a0to well-being and health of participants.
\nOf course, activities should\u00a0be selected according to the location\u00a0and program of an event, as well as\u00a0the number and structure of participants,\u00a0alongside the budget.
![\"Running\"](\"https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/bigstock-Running-shoes-closeup-of-wom-79924456.jpg\")
Health and exercise are gaining becoming\u00a0increasingly significant, and\u00a0more and more attention is paid to\u00a0this segment of life.
\nOrganisers are tasked with keeping\u00a0up with new trends and provide participants\u00a0at their events with options\u00a0regarding\u00a0exercise and relaxation,\u00a0healthy\u00a0food, as well to dedicate\u00a0a session\u00a0or a lecture to health and\u00a0some practical\u00a0tips.

number of us are active in this way for almost the entire season, calling it a jaunt, but as it is mostly done in previously chosen places suitable for a short stay, then it turns out to be a bivouac. Therefore, a bivouac is a space convenient only for a short – term stay, with no additional efforts in arranging it.
The form of staying outdoors, such as a bivouac, is most often used when one is passing through, as for example it is the case with bicyclists, motorcyclists, kayakers, but also with those who lack enough time, and thus decide for a suitable location in the vicinity of one\u2019s residence, in order to spend a day outside in the nature.
\n![\"Camp\"](\"https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/Camp.jpg\" "\\"Camp\\"")
Camp – Each bivouac is envious and dreams of becoming a camp. The difference between a bivouac and a camp is rather negligent, referring mainly to the existence of certain infrastructure elements, such as an easy access and a landscaped area.
This form of staying outdoors is mainly chosen by those who have adequate equipment for repeated usage, and who stay outdoors under such conditions from several days to a few weeks.
\nTent lodging – It implies the existence of infrastructural facilities, i.e. landscaped area and easy access, with several permanent buildings for lodging, most often made of solid materials. Landscaped area and easy access also implies nicely arranged and designated places for tents, camping trailers or camp vehicles, road leading to the tent lodging, road signs, information on the location, and so on. Infrastructural elements involve the existence of internal roads and paths, electric power and water sockets, and even connections for gas and telephone / Internet. There are often several buildings too, such as a common rest rooms and bathrooms, and facilities housing some of the services, such as restaurants, pizzerias, bakery shops, and even a post office.
\nIn practice this type of arranged space is wrongly named \u2018camp\u2018, but it is a more acceptable and better sounding name than tent lodging. They are widespread along the coast and in the mountains, and more often than not they can be found in spas and other resorts and holiday retreats. Also, there are several in Serbia on the Danube.
\nThis form of holiday and sojourn outdoors is becoming more and more popular everywhere in the world, particularly so as there is no need to arrange the space or perform any other works, as it all exists already. No additional tackle is needed, as it already exists on a certain location. As there are several types of camps, everyone can chose for oneself according to one\u2019s taste. All one needs is some goodwill, a bit of time to oneself or one\u2019s family, a positive atmosphere, and all the rest is left to nature.

World\u2019s Best Camping Experiences
\n\n
The word campsite is used for three different kinds of accommodation: The kind where you carry your world on your back and set it up, getting back to basics with a tent, a fire and the great outdoors; the kind of cheerful community camping where you’re not expected to miss out on hot showers or electrical essentials, and there’s all sorts of additional entertainment laid on to help you get the most out of your holiday in nature. There is the luxury or African Safari kind too, where there’s none of this carrying or sharing to be dealing with.
\nThis list of the world’s best camping has excellent examples of all three kinds:
\n\n
\n
I ‘Roughing it’ Camping
\n\n
One step off loading up your pack, getting out on the unmarked trail and stopping and setting up camp when you get tired, these are some of the best remote and basic campsites, promising a \u201cMan and Nature camping experience\u201d.
\n1.)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Gwern Gof Isaf Farm – Gwern Gof Isaf is more a place of legend than a ![\"Gwern](\"https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/Gwern-Gof-Isaf-Farm.jpg\" "\\"Gwern")
mere campsite, where generations of mountaineers have come to challenge themselves on the most impressive hill in Snowdonia, Wales – the mighty Tryfan, one of the most recognisable peaks in the region. Popular with Duke of Edinburgh Award challengers, rock climbers and abseilers, this \u201cfarm\u201d is National Trust, which has bunkhouses and pitches. Walk around, or bring, or hire, a mountain bike so you can ride down to the sandy beach, or to the indoor heated pool, tennis courts or gold club.
2.)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sligachan Campsite – This campsite is situated in the heart of the Cuillin, a range of rocky mountains located on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. There’s a famous for brewing its own beer pub across the road.
\n3.)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Turner Hall Farm in the Lake District’s Duddon Valley in United Kingdom, has a tempered, but is still well loved by the hiking boots set. Turner Hall Farm is a basic campsite for walkers and climbers, the attraction being its location and outlook rather than the facilities.
\n![\"Troytown](\"https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/Troytown_chalet.jpg\" "\\"Troytown")
4.)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Troytown Farm’s, remote, remote, remote location on the Atlantic Ocean gives campers the feeling of being on the very edge of the known world. The fact that a tractor comes to pick up you and your gear just adds to the feeling of being away from a lot of the things that probably bother you about the world. The views are of the Atlantic behind Bishop’s Rock, a lighthouse and the uninhabited island of Annet, the second largest of the 50 uninhabited Isles of Scilly in United Kingdom. The remoteness means the beach is clean and uncrowded, and the ex – farm status means that the home produced cream, clotted cream, ice cream, butter, yoghurt, seasonal veggies and beef and pork sold in the store are way better than what you can buy at home.
From the edge of the world to the top of the world:
\n1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The remote campsite Lo Stambecco in the Gran Paradiso National Park is a challenge to get to, but the views once you arrive are well worth it, mountains and glaciers for 360 degrees. This campsite is on the Alta Via, one of the Italian Alp’s most famous summer walking ways, all cowbells, crisp air and scenery.
\n2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Petit Praz by La Monta, Switzerland, claims to be Europe’s highest campsite, perched at 1970 metres and has 80 places. It is the ideal base camp for hiking and climbing.
\n3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Lagos de Somiedo in the Somiedo Natural Park in Spain isn’t just remote, up a steeply winding road it’s also difficult to get to. If you can arrive, once you do it’s a lovely, quiet spot by a small stream running out of a peaceful, mirror glass lake. Here birds of prey patrol the skies, horses block your way without realising it’s impolite, cow bells clang in the distance, and the woods are home to bears and wolves. This is a most unusual site in the Somiedo Natural Park. Winding narrow roads with challenging rock overhangs, hairpin bends and breathtaking views (for 8 km) finally bring you to the campsite at an elevation of 1.200 m.
\n\n
\n
II Holiday Camping
\n\n
This is camping for families and people for whom a holiday would be barbaric without a hot shower and coffee in the morning.
\n1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fisherground Campsite – is set right in the heart of Eskdale in UK, one of Cumbria’s loveliest valleys. Of the \u201c50 World Best Campsites\u201d, Fisherground is chosen in the overall Top 18 and in the overall Top 4 for children\u2019s enjoyment. This campsite is really a child’s dream: it has an adventure course, a tree house, zip wire and a pond with rafts; and just down the road is a miniature steam railway.
\n2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Blackberry Wood Campsite – Blackberry Wood is one of the more interesting campsites in the UK which offers rural camping as it should be. This place is perfect if your kids like to make a lot of noise. Set in a woodland at the foot of the South Downs, it is literally a breath of fresh air. One of twenty clearings in the woodland provides the perfect spot to pitch a tent. Free of neighbours, unsightly caravans and noise pollution, the rich variety of birds will serenade you into the evening, when it will be time to light a rustic campfire. Unlike many other campsites, this one encourages campers to make open fires.
\n\n
\n
III Comfortable Camping
\n\n
Camping Safari’s are some of the oldest examples of camping with the kitchen sink. These comfortable traditions prevail in some camps.
\n1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Grumeti River Camp in the Western Serengeti in north Tanzania, Africa, are in prime position for the Great Migration, with their wooden floorboards, dinky wooden bathrooms and wide, hand built beds, all arranged overlooking a private stretch of the hippo filled Grumeti River.
\n2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Pansea Ksar Ghilane, located in the southern part of Tunisia, a drive ![\"Pansea](\"https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/Pansea-Ksar-Ghilane.jpg\" "\\"Pansea")
out of Djerba, is definitely five star. This Saharan desert oasis camp has a paradise – landscaped pool fed by a natural spring and 60 air conditioned tents decked out with four poster beds and wrought iron furniture.
Camping as a holiday choice is being considered by more and more people. It’s a fantastic way to get right into the middle of an often stunning landscape, and to feel part of the region you are travelling to. You also get right into the food culture of the region, with visits to markets to source food for the camp fire.
