Mandara Spa will celebrate 20 years with a world tour by traditional Balinese healer, guru Made Sumantra, and a stop in Dubai is part of the festivities.

Sumantra will be in the city from July 13 for three days to conduct private healing sessions at the Mandara Spa at The H Dubai hotel and will also lead a yoga session for 200 people on July 15.

The therapeutic Balinese yoga session runs for 60 minutes and will begin with breathing and stretching, before moving into a series of yoga postures. It will end with cleansing breathing and meditation.

The session, at the Excelsior Hall in the hotel, costs Dh195, which includes a Mandara yoga mat to keep and refreshments.

Spaces are limited so early booking is advised by calling Mandara Spa on 04 501 8270. Hour-long private healing sessions cost Dh560 can be booked on the same number.

What is graphene?

Graphene is extracted from graphite and is made up of pure carbon.

It is 200 times more resistant than steel and five times lighter than aluminum.

It conducts electricity better than any other material at room temperature.

It is thought that graphene could boost the useful life of batteries by 10 per cent.

Graphene can also detect cancer cells in the early stages of the disease.

The material was first discovered when Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov were 'playing' with graphite at the University of Manchester in 2004.
