June 8, 2019, is Global Wellness Day and Four Seasons resorts all across the world are preparing to help celebrate and promote the movement, with a myriad of inspiring and uplifting ways for guests to get in touch with their physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Whether traveling with friends, family, or solo, Global Wellness Day programs present a perfect opportunity to seek out the moments and movements that breathe life back into your mind, body, and spirit.
Let's look at a small selection of the unique offerings being put forth on this occasion by Four Seasons properties around the globe.
If challenging yourself physically is part of your pursuit of healthy living, you'll be happy to hear that Global Wellness Day coincides with the launch of the ESCAPE, a new three-day fitness retreat at Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire. Created by top fitness professionals, including military soldiers, ESCAPE will push any guest to their fitness limits. On June 8, Four Seasons will be offering guests and members of the public a taste of this boot camp, with a day of programming aimed at improving posture, increasing core body strength, and getting the heart pumping.
You might prefer heading to the Four Seasons Resort Oahu at Ko Olina for its daily ultimate training class with cross-training for the entire family; or a dynamic workout that blends yoga and Plyometrics with Tahitian dance; or traditional hula training sessions with Ke Ka O Kahiki, led by Kumu Hula La`akea Perry; followed by a traditional Hawaiian healing blessing.
Don't forget to get young ones involved, as many activities are kid-friendly, and some are even designed with teens and children in mind. Perhaps the most poignant example would be the Four Seasons Hotel Austin, where Austin Humane Society will invite guests to participate in a heart-warming puppy adoption event, where animal lovers of all ages can mingle with cute canines.
If sight-seeing is your priority, why not turn it into a fitness activity at the Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris, where you can begin your day with the "Run My City" program, which combines a passion for jogging with a love of seeing Paris at its best. To help integrate the body's systems, daily runs are followed by a 15-minute foot reflexology session. You can take things a little more low-key during the rest of the by developing self-awareness with French tea, yoga class, and meditation.
At the Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown, Global Wellness Day is a perfect opportunity to take advantage of the new and iconic Resident Healers Program. 90-minute Resident Healers sessions include a Sound Journey Experience, an introductory session to Sensory Motive Yoga, and learning a holistic approach to meditation and chakra clearing.
For a Far-Eastern take on total wellness, consider making the Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto part of your journey, where the celebration and practice of a healthy body, mind, and soul have been expanded into a wider Week of Wellness, running from June 7 - 10, 2019. Each day will afford distinct opportunities to immerse yourself in traditional Japanese wellness practices. Day one will start with a gentle jog past ancient temples; on days two and three, guests will learn the ancient art of Zen; and, on day four, they'll discover "Forest Therapy" - a uniquely Japanese approach to connecting with the healing power of nature.
