At the request of Mr. Anand Chatterjee, Head of Hospitality at Planet Hollywood Beach Resort Goa, the Integrated Amrita Meditation Technique (IAM20) Stress Management Leaders Workshop was organized for their staff by Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham. A group of dedicated managers, assistant managers, senior executives, associates from the department of reservations, engineering, security, sales, purchase, front office, accounts, professional chefs, spa therapists, and yoga teacher from the resort participated in an enriching workshop. 

The workshop was expertly conducted by certified IAM instructor Brahmacharini Vagishamrita Chaitanya.  

The resort staff was introduced to IAM20, a meditation technique created by Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi Amma. This technique is scientifically proven to lower stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol within just 48 hours of practice, making it especially valuable for those working in high-pressure environments like hospitality. 

The experience was described by participants as amazing, peaceful, relaxed, focused, refreshed, calm, stress-free, and energetic—a true testament to the workshop’s impact! 

Joseph Rocha, Assistant Sales Manager, shared how he felt deeply relaxed and focused by the end. He emphasized how IAM20 stands out from other meditation programs by teaching how to focus our thoughts and stay stress-free in challenging situations. He plans to integrate IAM into his morning routine. 

Pravin Naik, Assistant Manager Security, praised the session, highlighting the trainer’s attention to detail. He felt perfectly relaxed and focused afterward and expressed gratitude for the lovely experience. 

Oliver Dsouza appreciated the meditation techniques, wishing the session was longer. Anil Deshbhandari felt energized and focused, valuing the detailed explanations.
