Malaysia Urban Retreat Festival - A Retreat for your Mind, Body and Soul...

Being human and living in the world today, we have to go through a lot of stress in life. Did you know that the stress affects everyone, young and old and is a completely normal reaction that all human beings will experience from time to time when faced with situations that they feel under pressure in.

You can also stress yourself out just by worrying about little things and this too can lead to stress… Therefore I  believe that it is very important that we plan a getaway every once in a while…to 
rejuvenate our mind, body…. and soul…. 

Sometimes, however it is not so easy to rejuvenate the soul when you are traveling… as like it or not, traveling can in some ways cause a different kind of stress as well… hahaha…

Wait.. am I making sense at all here?!! Ahh… never mind…

I am here to share a mini-getaway , all KL-lites and Malaysians really should consider..What is it? I am merely talking about the Malaysia Urban Retreat Festival or better known as MURFEST which is returning for the second year running!!

MURFEST is the very first Malaysian Wellness Festival and said to be Top 5 in South East Asia. Over a span of 3 days, there will be more than 80 exciting and interesting classes and workshops to choose from held by top international and local talents/facilitators in the wellness industry. Among which are yoga, fly yoga, aqua yoga, zumba, capoeira, masala bhangra,qi gong, motivational speakers, sound healers etc…etc…etc…

Yours truly was over at the Hotel Pullman Bangsar, to check out what would be happening soon there....and it is absolutely worth checking out....this is the festival for everyone whether or not you are a fitness buff or now. Check out the video below for what happened at the MURFEST last year!!!

"The main aim of MURFEST is to educate the young and invigorate the souls of our seniors to embrace a wellness or fitness practice which they can adapt into their lifestyle. We are not reinventing the wheel here, " Festival Founder & Director Shobie Malani says. 

" Most people have been exposed to at least one of these workshops. What we are doing is bringing communities together to gain knowledge, change mindsets and cultivate a mindful and healthy society."

Among all the speakers, would be the two lovely MURFEST brand ambassadors, who are none other then singer/emcee/actress/ celebrity yoga instructor Atilia Haron...

  

.....as well as Jojo Struys, popular TV host /emcee/author and wellness speaker for this event...

Some of the top names that will be guiding you and bringing you into the health and wellness weekend will be  Simon Borg Oliver, Kosta Miachin, Anna Sugarman and many more...

So get ready to indulge and immerse yourself in the array of classes, workshops, music and dance workshops offered at the festival !!!

I sure was awed at the press conference itself when watching the yoga dance performance ...Can you do this? I sure like hell can't!!!

And it was fun watching and being part of the percussion unit with these VIPS (Tony Nagamaiah, Atilia Haron, Jojo Struys and Shoba Malini the founder of MURFEST) as they learned from the master percussionist here

Anyway, participants will also get to indulge in all things organic and healthy at the JUST BE MARKET, which will also be opened to the general public. This market place will consist of organic food, semi-precious stones, natural healers, herbal and ayurvedic healing, essential oils and simply networking with fellow wellness enthusiasts
